Currently social networks are part of our daily lives; we could not imagine a day without checking our pages or profiles. Brands must know that they should be on them because their future customers are online.

How are social network profiles?

Facebook is the most popular and commonly used. One in three people use this social network every day! The age range varies between 24 to 35 years old although there is a user group around 50 years old that is highly increasing.

On Facebook, users usually want to learn, find discounts, complain about something or stay in touch with friends amongst other things.

On this social network, users are more likely to be looking to buy a pair of sunglasses, a scarf or a necklace than seeking professional services.

Twitter is our virtual newspaper or kiosk. On Twitter, users read news and give opinions. Twitter works well for consulting services, lawyers or media services among others.

LinkedIn is exclusively for professional users. 40% of users are between 40 and 54 years. It allows us to be in contact with companies in our sector and other professionals.

LinkedIn’s users seek networking, and to participate in discussions related to their industry or creating synergies.

YouTube is used to watch, create and comment on videos.

Pinterest is a social network based on images and videos. 90% of users are women who are interested in photography, fashion, design, gastronomy … etc
