What do a skydiving event organizer and 43% of Facebook users have in common? Quite a lot. Both are big believers in the power of social media to catapult businesses to the next level.   

 
First, those FaceBook users.
 
An astonishing 43% of Facebook users say they “Like,” or are fans of at least one brand. Why is the number so high? 
 
The two top reasons are displaying brand affiliation to friends and getting  discounts. Forty percent of Facebook fans said they like the discounts and another 39% said they liked the “social badges” they can display to show their brand affinity.
 
Other findings from the report by ExactTarget and CoTweet:
·        34% of Facebook users said they “Like” brands to stay informed on company activities
·        33% “Like” brands to get product updates
·        30% “Like” brands to get information on upcoming sales
 
“By engaging consumers on FaceBook in a way that keeps them entertained, brands have an opportunity to mobilize Fans and get introduced to their friends,” says Jeff Rohrs of ExactTarget.
