Ever since the digital world entered the age of ‘Big Data’, major companies from around the world have emphasized heavily on using user-data to analyze and guess the upcoming trends and bring their products accordingly. Social listing is a sub-branch of this field and is becoming an integral part of social media marketing since it generates heaps of data that companies can use to strategies. Social media users from around the globe:
- post about 500 million tweets
- post five billion Facebook likes
- 95 million new Instagram photos and videos daily.
- 72% of all internet users are active on social media and 81% of the consumers’ purchasing decisions are influenced by their friends’ social media posts.
Pakistan has currently had 60 million online users with a penetration rate of 27%, which points out that the country’s population is vastly digitizing. With the rapid increase in social media usage, expressing and sharing opinions about products on social media platforms is becoming increasingly common, which provides companies the golden opportunity to “listen” to their preferences and hence increase their consumer database.
