So, I’m pretty into these chart graphics not only because I think they’re good design but the statistics they provide are rather mind-bottling. As my last post mentioned, branding and advertising is important in a business. Here the chart shows how social media affects business communication (advertising). Due to different social media companies have a broader range of methods with communicating to the public.
First the chart shows why businesses use and rely on social media. (It’s immediate or fast, many people can see it, it’s very easy, in many cases, it is free, businesses receive feedback from costumers, and it expands the brand’s name).
Then the chart focuses on the success of businesses via social media. The dates go back to 2007-2009. I can only image what the numbers would be in 2010-2012.
The following part asks how important social media is for the business. Charts for 2007 have a lower number of importance, where it was only moderately important. in 2008 and 2009 the numbers show that it was very important. Today the percentage of social media being very important are probably very high.
The rest of the chart goes on to say that social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have increased in viewers and could increase the number of costumers for businesses.
All in all, I think this chart is a good example of the use of social media within a company and how using the internet can be a good thing when promoting a business. Many people get to see the company name and product/work and will be able to communicate back to the company and or share with others, therefore rising the interest in that business. In the years the come, I can only see business getting better from the side of having their name put out in the public eye and use it for better advertisement.
