Social Media Statistics to Know in 2019

Year after year, social media grows more and more popular as a major source for news and information. As of 2019, 3.2 billion people are using social media daily. As that number grows, it’s no secret that it’s increasingly important for restaurants to maintain a social media presence to not only gain new customers, but to keep in touch with frequent flyers alike! 

Compared with other social media platforms, Facebook remains the market leader in 2019 with 68% of social media users reporting that they are Facebook users. If you aren’t already, be sure to update your business Facebook page so your customers always have the most up to date information regarding the restaurant. While it may not be as popular as Facebook, consider posting on Instagram! Despite having fewer total users, images on Instagram get 23% more engagement than those posted on Facebook. Not only this, but Instagram is considered the fastest-growing social media platform as of 2018!
