Why Social Networks Need to Be Part of Your Holiday Sales Strategy

According to the study, 37% of internet users use social networks to research products and brands. That’s a large leap from the 28% back in 2015. Among 16-24-year-olds, social networks are now just 6 percentage points behind search engines for product research.
