According to recent announcements and surveys, there are more than 700,000,000 (million with an M) accounts on Facebook worldwide.
Let’s bring this closer to home for a minute. Here in Jefferson City, MO - location of the world headquarters of The Rocket Group – Facebook estimates there to be more than 46,000 users who also call Jeff City home.


Consider these numbers as well:
· 28,000+ of these JCMO neighbors are in the prime purchasing demographic of 25-40 years old.
· We spend 41 minutes a day on The Social Network talking to friends, checking out photos and videos.
· Facebook users are more apt to interact with national and local companies during their visits.
· Buying decisions are influenced more heavily by peers on Facebook than in any other social situation.
· ‘Likes’ and ‘Shares’ are the currency of the social sharing on Facebook.
Are you connecting with your prospects and customers where they are spending their time? Have you launched a targeted Facebook Ads campaign? Do you have your company Facebook Page set up with a custom landing page? Will your super-customers comment on how much they appreciate your product and services on that page?
If the answer to any of those questions was ‘No’, then we should talk.
As a certified Social Media Strategist, I know the ins-and-out’s of these modern communication tools and making them an important part of your media mix. The programs I have established through The Rocket Group have generated awareness, stronger customer relationships, and increased profits for the clients who have applied them.
Let’s talk soon about launching your success story on Facebook.
