Socialogue: My Friend 'Likes' a Brand. Hmmm...

Social Media Marketing
Nearly One in Four People Say they Would Buy a Brand Because a Friend "Likes" or Follows the Brand on a Social Network

Ipsos Open Thinking Exchange (Ipsos OTX)  recently released the latest global infographic and commentary on the trends and behaviors that define people's lives in today's social media age.

Twenty-two percent of people say they bought a brand because a friend follows or "likes" the brand on a social network. In the BRIC countries, that number rises to 39%, about four in ten people. It follows, then, that the better able a brand is to influence people to "like" it, the more sales it has the potential to drive. Now that's a piece of information brands that are socially active online should really like!
