Social networking sites have played a big role in President Barack Obama’s victory in the last presidential election. Which is the very reason why the “presidentiables” in the Philippines are also struggling to attract the highest number of “friends” and “fans” on the popular sites such as “Facebook, Twitter, and others.
Many businesses and entrepreneurs have tapped this new media to promote their products and services, realizing the marketing and advertising appeal of these social networking sites, the use of which is a natural progression in digital marketing, according to Mattel Soliven, the marketing solutions specialist at Yehey.com. (Yehey.com is a Filipino search engine and portal owned by Vantage Equities Inc.)
In the past decade, companies have been content with having their own websites as it is good for presenting corporate profile and other important information, however, this online presence does not give as much room for creativity and communication with the target audience or customer base and is not as interactive as a social networking sites.
I recommend Facebook: FACEBOOK IS USER FRIENDLY AND HAS THE MOST NUMBER OF USERS.
I recommend Facebook over all the over social networking sites because it is hands down the most popular and the most effective socual networking site. I often say that it is user friendly like “Nokia” is to mobile phone users. It is so easy to open an account and to manage.
Do you know that the Philippines presently ranks as the 8th largest Facebook user in the world? Amazing, and it’s rapidly increasing. We presently rank as the 17th Internet users in the world. Facebook was also the top website in the Philippines on Alexa, growing over 1,000 percent from January to September 10 last year, in terms ofweb traffic, or the amount of visitors and visits a website gets. According to recent estimates, there are now more than 8 million Filipino Facebook users as of December last year.
