It’s not just individuals that are populating Facebook – companies, brands, products and even bands are realizing that Facebook is an excellent way to gain exposure over a vast audience. Even people who have resisted joining Facebook in the past are quickly recognizing its potential to become and stay connected to other people and organizations. This has largely contributed to Facebook’s rapid growth and shows no signs of slowing down.
According to checkfacebook.com, as of today, April 19 2010, there are approximately 95 million Facebook users in the US alone. The UK has 22 million users, Turkey with 14 million and both France and Canada with 13 million. These top 5 countries amount to approximately 157 million users. Sounds like an enormous number, right?
With over 400 million users, Facebook would be the fourth most populated nation in the world if it were a country. With that being said, the top 5 countries with the largest numbers of Facebook users make up only a fraction of the total number of Facebook users worldwide. These top 5 countries are for the most part, western, developed nations. Think of all those users who live in other highly populated nations, such as Russia, Brazil China and India…
This means that there is astronomical potential to reach a vast audience in other parts of the world. Many of these Facebook users may not have similar products, brands or information widely available in their native countries.
Still unsure? Think of it in the sense that the Facebook population is growing so rapidly, that by 2011 there will be approximately 630 million users. Does your brand have a strategy to target this audience?
