It’s no secret that social media is an indispensable marketing tool for a business. These days, the majority of business owners have wised up to the fact that social media is a fantastic platform on which to promote a business and most hold accounts in at least the two giants of social media: Facebook and Twitter. While these two platforms remain the most popular, with over 900,000,000 and 310,000,000 monthly visitors respectively, there are other social networks such as Google+, Pinterest and Instagram which can benefit a business immeasurably.

So we’re all aware that social media should be a crucial component of our business’ marketing strategy. Now for some social media facts you probably didn’t know…
