The benefits of Social Media for property
The nature of social media has changed. It was a method of connecting family and friends, now it is far more complex, with vast opportunities for business.
When used properly social media will attract customers who may otherwise have overlooked your property.
www.alankirkham.co.uk allows you to ‘’like, share, comment’’ etc about your property or a property that you are interested in. Your online friends/followers will see that information and hopefully ‘’like, share or comment’’ further and of course therefore sharing the property with their online friends/followers. You get the picture!!!
Why do Alan Kirkham use social media?
People buy from people. It is that simple. Potential clients can read about our business, see the types of property we offer, share and comment. We are also able to reach a much bigger audience compared to traditional marketing; within three steps of separation we and your property are connected to nearly everyone on Facebook!
Social media extends the reach of ‘’word of mouth’’ advertising which, if we look back over three decades, is how our business has been built.
Statistics
Around 53% of the UK population is on Facebook.
A greater percentage of the UK population is using Facebook than that of the US.
The demographic mix makes for interesting reading with the largest groups represented being 18-24 year olds (23%) 25-34 (26%), and 35-44 (18%).
Over 17% of worldwide Twitter users are in the UK.
We are still seeing quite an even split between the main adult demographic groups – ie ages 25-34, 35-44 and 45-54 each making up around 20% of the Twitter population.
