Under Internet Statistics+ Social Media Marketing
Facebook is young, but not all of it. Social media is growing quickly so if you plan on sitting on the sidelines much longer, you may miss out on this expanding phenomenon.
In fact, 13% of American Facebook users are over the age of 30. In Canada, 34% are over the age of 30. With 25 million American members, that’s over 3 million Americans 30+ who have Facebook accounts. It’s the same 3 million population in Canada where middle age users are already all over the premiere social networking site.
Social networking is here now. If your target market isn’t quite there yet, it will be soon.
