The world is abuzz with “likes” and “commenting”, but do you really know how your audience is using Facebook? Do you have a Facebook strategy to help you grow your database?

These are some of the areas we recently explored with our national Facebook study.

With over 66K national responses, we asked some critical usage questions like:

Have you ever “liked” a Facebook page to be part of a contest? National sample: 47.5% said yes

How many hours a day do you spend on Facebook? National sample: 18.5% said 1 to 2 hours a day!

Have you ever shared information about a contest or brand promotion with your friends on Facebook? National Sample: 31.8% said yes!
