Among technology sectors transforming media, social sharing tops the list. This refers to mobile users sharing pictures via Instagram, video via Snapchat or location status via Facebook. It’s especially prevalent among increasingly buying-empowered millennials.
When effective, social sharing can harness the social activity that’s increasingly occurring in and around local businesses. Tracking and amplifying this customer communication can advance an overall social presence by populating pages with vibrant user activity and comments.
BIA/Kelsey takes a close look at this mobile/local/social trend in the Insight Paper “Social Sharing Goes Local”
Millennials have a thirst for multimedia, which is highly accelerated by the opportunity to capture, share and view media-rich and video content on-the-go via smartphones. As eyeballs and attention spans move in this direction, social content is delivering a powerful marketing opportunity for local businesses to capture and tag locally relevant footage.
