What Influences the Social Consumer? [Infographic]

No matter how you collect your information to make a decision about purchasing a product or service, social media has crept into our lives helping us process information in order to make decisions based on what we have learned through the Internet.

Today, search on the web is the principal influence consumers use to purchase a product or service. Depending on the consumer, they might turn to their friends on Facebook or search the web using Google.
