Nearly 4 billion people<\/a> are on social media around the world, so it makes sense that brands are turning to social media as a core part of their digital marketing strategies. But did you know that social media only accounts for less than 2% of the typical B2B company traffic. And less than 7% of e-commerce brand’s website traffic!<\/p>\n
