How Much Time and Money Do Small Business Spend on Social Media?

Businesses both small and large know they have to be on social if they want to reach today’s smartphone-happy customers. Large companies with big budgets who can invest in sophisticated content already have a leg up. What about the little guys, though?


Did you know, for example:

  • The majority (43 percent) of small businesses spend about 6 hours per week on social media (about the equivalent of one whole workday?)
  • 55 percent of small businesses have blogs…and the average post takes about 1-3 hours to create?
  • Most post on Facebook and Twitter several times of week…Pinterest and LinkedIn? Not so much.
  • 26 bucks…that’s the minimum that most small businesses pay per month on social media tools (such as content publishers and analytics).
