A recent study by Mzinga and Babson Executive Education revealed that 86% of the respondents from a variety of industries have adopted social media for work purposes.
57% of them use it for marketing purposes while almost 30% use it for customer service.

Additionally, qualitative methods like searching through Twitter and Facebook’s real time search engine can tell you how many times your brand was mentioned in a certain period of time.
