Quite contrary to general belief, LinkedIn is not just a great place to search jobs or network with potential clients. Even for B2B businesses this could be an ideal destination to further profits. As per recent statistics collated by Coupon Machine,
- There are a total of 380 million recorded members worldwide
- LinkedIn at 91% is the second most commonly used platform for social media marketing, second only to Twitter at 94%
- There are close to 625,000 profile views on LinkedIn every hour
- Over 60,000 job views on mobile are recorded in one hour
The numbers could at times be hugely mindboggling but they spell out trends loud and clear. Essentially these numbers are just indicators of the growing usage and the kind of opportunities that could open up for mobile commerce initiatives. No wonder these numbers clearly emphasise the simple fact about how B2B centric LinkedIn is and the reason it is considered the most effective in the sales cycle.
