60% Of Small Businesses Find Twitter Effective For Marketing [INFOGRAPHIC]

Last week we reported on research that suggested that just 10% of small businesses use Twitter as part of their marketing strategy.

It goes without saying that this is a surprisingly low number, and even more so when you consider that some 60% of small businesses who do use Twitter find it effective for engaging with their customers.

Engagement marketing firm Constant Contact surveyed 1,972 small business owners and employees in October 2011, and discovered that Twitter (60%, as above) is second to only Facebook (86%) amongst preferred methods for small business marketing (LinkedIn rated 55%), while video sharing (71%) is also seen as effective.

Facebook continues to be the social tool de jour for small businesses – a heady 96% say that they use it.
