In the tech age where almost everyone has a smartphone, communication and cross-cultural engagement have increased significantly. In the old days, you'd have to dial a phone and pay the exorbitant international charges to communicate with someone overseas. Now, it's as simple as opening Facebook messenger and using your wifi connection to video call them! Tweet @, DM (direct message), like, comment, share and mash the subscribe button - it's practically everywhere. To put in perspective, 3.96 billion people are active social media users. That's half of the world's population.
With the methods for communicating through social platforms in mind, we know that there are more efficient ways to engage followers and produce content. Below, we've listed some general demographic statistics brought to you by SPROUTSOCIAL, along with some tips and tricks for social posts.
Once you understand the demographic as a whole, you can begin making posts for your targeted audience. If you know that the average time spent on FB is 33 minutes per day, then you should create easily digestible content. Understanding your business' demographic helps you construct an effective social marketing strategy. Throw a few bait posts out there and see what gets the clicks up. Once you get your results, you'll know who to target specifically.
When providing content, make sure that your images and videos are correctly sized.

It's all about communicating through simple, eye-catching images.

TikTok has taken social media by storm growing at a clip of 87.1% in 2020 and 18.3% in 2021 respectively. The biggest takeaway from the data is that TikTok's main demographic is younger than all other platforms (except Snapchat, but we're not including their platform in our data). TikTok's influence bleeds into other platforms with content being easily shareable and digestible. Brands and businesses should take notice when appealing to our tech-savvy generation.
Because TikTok has such a unique post strategy, pixels and formats aren't the main focus for this section.

Once again, TikTok has an extremely different demographic so your posts might not be as successful or useful on this platform as they would be on others.

Twitter is arguably the best platform for discussing events and filling your feed with breaking news from whatever genre interests you. While growth remains consistent from year to year, the research predicts that Twitter will lose about a million users to other platforms over the next five years. These stats make advertising tricky because most tweets are discussion driven, but an ad that follows the character count and spurs discussion is a plausible strategy to create traffic.
