Celebrating the 5th Annual Social Media Day
10 1 0 12

Social Media is tremendous tool that allows us to interact with people
around the world with the click of a button. It's helped revolutionize the
way we interact, and has given everyone a voice on the world stage. In fact,
today is the 5th annual Social Media Day<http://mashable.com/smday/>! This
event was started by Mashable to celebrate the global revolution that is
social media. It's a day to celebrate the connections we've made, and to
reflect on how we use social media to improve our lives.

Over the course of the past decade social media has evolved into a primary
method of communication for millions of people around the world - if not
billions. In fact, if Facebook were a country it would have the third
largest population in the world, behind only China and India! To get a
better understanding of the amazing impact social media has had on the
world, have a look at thisgreat
video<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxpa4dNVd3c#t=20>. It's filled with
eye-popping stats that show you just how important social media has become
today.

Social media isn't just about building connections and meeting new friends -
it's also big business. In fact, 93% of shopper's buying decisions are
influenced by social media! So if you're not utilizing Social Media as an
UnFranchise Owner you are really missing out on a golden opportunity for
growth.
