Who's on Facebook? The short answer, of course, is everyone. And that's why every company and brand needs to seriously consider a major presence on the platform, as well as a Facebook-specific content strategy. But digging into the data reveals more specific and compelling reasons why marketers should be active on Facebook, such as the fact that despite recent news coverage about how Facebook is getting older, it's still strongest in the young adult age bracket so precious to many marketers. In a new report from BI Intelligence, we break down the demographics of Facebook and show why it's such a powerful platform for companies, brands, and products. Facebook's surprisingly strong statistics in terms of gender breakdown, income levels, and age diversity makes it the obvious go-to marketing platform. Our report also spotlights similar statistics for all the main social networks, but Facebook's numbers are perhaps the most compelling. Here are seven of our surprising findings on Facebook:

We would highly recommend Baytech Mobile to any business who needs a boost in their digital presence. " Jeff Stone, Baypoint Villas, www.baypointvillas.com Article republished from http://www.businessinsider.com/a-primer-on-facebook-demographics-2013-10#ixzz3ClaoJJBj Smartphones have become an essential part of everyday life; from texting and email to social media, Americans rely heavily on their mobile devices. If your mobile phone was taken away, how long could you survive without it?
The answer may surprise you: nearly half (47 percent) of U.S. consumers polled say they could not go more than one day without their smartphone, according to the inaugural Bank of America Trends in Consumer Mobility Report. An overwhelming majority (85 percent) say they check their phones at least a few times a day, while more than one-third (35 percent) admit to constantly checking their mobile device. The survey, which explored mobile trends and banking behaviors among adults across the country, found the need for constant connectivity also extends to banking. Of those respondents who said they use their phones for mobile banking, almost one-third (31 percent) say they log on at least once a day, and more than four out of five (82 percent) access their accounts at least once a week or more. The report revealed further interesting insights into consumer mobile banking behaviors and preferences, including: * Mobile banking is on the rise. More than half (62 percent) of respondents have at least tried mobile banking, while an overwhelming majority (90 percent) are using online banking. When using their bank’s mobile app, U.S. consumers most commonly check their balance, transfer funds between accounts and pay bills. * Sophisticated banking transactions becoming more prevalent on mobile devices. Consumers are also using their smartphones for more complex transactions, including mobile check deposit. Nearly six in 10 (58 percent) respondents have used mobile check deposit, and 38 percent use it frequently. “Our customers appreciate the convenience of being able to complete their deposit anytime, anywhere and are depositing an average of 170 thousand checks via mobile device every day,” says Marc Warshawsky, mobile solutions executive at Bank of America. * Consumers prefer a mix of banking options. Mobile and online banking are becoming more widely used, but visits to bank branches are still common. The survey found that 84 percent of respondents have visited a bank branch within the past six months. Most commonly, Americans make a trip to the bank to make a deposit, withdraw funds and speak with a banking associate. However, just 23 percent of respondents say they complete the majority of their banking transactions at a branch. Nearly half (47 percent) report turning to mobile or online banking as their preferred method. * Consumers comfortable with added security measures. In the next two years, 60 percent of consumers say they would be comfortable with a fingerprint scan/swipe security feature to gain access to their mobile banking app. Nearly one-third expressed comfort with retina scans (32 percent) and voice recognition (33 percent).

Wow, its amazing to watch how fast the mobile revolution has happened. When I begin working with a client, there is no tracking usually in place, so there is no way to see who is visiting websites or social streams.
Once we turn on our programs for our clients, things start to light up and we can watch the true metrics happen in front of our eyes. No matter what size market we work within, the mobile consumer is at least half, if not more than all of the traffic. Once we turn on the mobile capture aspects for our clients ( see Gloryview, Global or Baypoint) we start to see a great trend occur. Mobile browsers will enter information when you treat them properly. When I work on a website, mobile app, or social channell, I am constantly looking at the appearance of the page and how the mobile browser sees things. As soon as I notice a "crack" or, the mobile browser has to zoom in or out (pinch/squeeze), I will also notice one other thing. Traffic dies at that point. So, if you have a website, have you tried to browse to it lately? Is it engaging? Can you easily click to call or click for a map to your location? Is there a way for me to enter information via a simple web form so I receive a valuable offer or coupon? Is your email and mobile list growing or dying? These are what the growing mobile consumer not only expects but demands, and the businesses that realize this and realize this fast, are the ones that will profit the most. These are exciting times in mobile - Is your business ready? Are you interested in learning how focusing a little effort on your mobile presence can result in major revenue gains?

We work with bars and restaurants everyday to help better explain the mobile marketing solutions that are now available.

By connecting with your mobile consumers by text message, you have the ability to instantly communicate your specials or entertainment or your events almost instantly. How does this work? To begin with, we provide you with a mobile enabled website if you do not have one already. This is no longer an option for any business who wants well, new and repeat business. Everyone, and yes EVERYONE now carries and uses their smartphones to find bars and restaurants. Its the number one search reason on a mobile device. When they find your mobile enabled website, they should have the opportunity to get an instant mobile coupon from you. Why? Because with the proper call to action, you can build a HUGE list. Why do you want a list? ahhh...The secret in this message has arrived. The businesses with the largest lists win. Plain and simple. Think about that little company called Groupon, yeah them. Why can they sell so much for you and take so much from you? Because they have a massive opt-in list of consumers who WANT to receive offers from merchants all across the city, US, and world. So, if you had a list the size of Groupon in your city, would you need anything else? Probably not. So what is the list size you have? Have you compelled people to sign up? Have you sent offers regularly? Are you engaging your lists at all? This is where Groupon is absolute genius, and why almost every business LOSES MONEY when they run a Groupon offer ( and that you did not have your upsell strategy in place ...Next article to come soon). Its a great deal for the list owner (Groupon) and a bad deal for the business because of who owns the list. The problem is that most business owners do not understand the basics of list building. List building takes concerted effort and done properly can make you a LOT OF MONEY! However, you need to have the tools and more importantly, the team, to show you what to do, how to do, and then you have to actually promote the list signups. This all sounds very complicated, but we are here to let you know that it is not. We have developed an amazing marketing system for bars and restaurants and we can level the playing field for you with the big box chains that are gobbling up large shares of business because they have large budgets and large lists. Our affordable mobile marketing software platform can help you fill your business with buying consumers within a few hours when done right. It can also build a large following of loyal patrons who come back into your business and be rewarded by simply checking back in! One last item is your maximizing your current and future advertising by engaging the consumer with QR codes and mobile sign up forms. You can now make your advertising dollar 30, 50 even 100% more effective by properly engaging smartphone consumers with QR codes. Almost every business we watch utilize QR codes does it improperly. We will show you how to implement QR codes to improve your bar sales and gain profits for your restaurant. Want to know how? We are waiting for your call at 888-374-0555.
