Angry Social Media Posts Have More Engagement Than Joyful Posts
Check out this week’s top 5 digital marketing statistics and key takeaways! #TWT5
Key Takeaway:
We’re not advising you create an angry social media campaign! Clearly social media has changed the way people communicate and interact with other people and with businesses. If you use your basic offline social skills and habits in your social media efforts, you should be able to maintain a healthy social presence and good relationship with your key audiences. Bottom-line – Always keep your social posts friendly, polite and professional. (Stat Source: Beijing University)
Key Takeaway:
The more options you give customers on how they want to hear from your brand, they more likely they will enjoy your content. Simple as that. Give your email subscribers options! Not only should you ask how often they want to hear from you, ask them what format of email they prefer, and even what topics they want to hear about. The more you know about them the more you can do your best to delight them! (Stat Source: Experian Marketing Services)
Key Takeaway:
Reduce the number of form-fields on your landing pages. Yes, this means you are capturing less information to start, but getting more conversions in the end. You can always come up with creative ways to get more information about your audiences at a later time. (Stat Source: HubSpot)
Key Takeaway:
Most online stores today feature English as the primary language. But if you’re selling a product to international audiences, it’s important to keep in mind that English is not perfectly understood everywhere in the world. Bottom line for international brands – it’s essential to provide multi-language support through your online store, especially for the most popular languages, including Spanish, French, and Chinese.

Key Takeaway:
This stat is significant right now because of the upcoming Google announcement on April 21, when the company is going to announce a big change to their search algorithm. We suspect it’s mainly going to be about mobile-friendly websites gaining more visibility than non-mobile friendly sites.
Hopefully your website already has at least some mobile-friendly features to it. To take it a step further, you should take a look at the images on your website. That huge image on your desktop site is mostly useless for people accessing your site on mobile or tablet.
So what should you do? Consider if the image is really even necessary for mobile users. If it is, make a smaller version for your mobile users. But be careful, there is a correct and incorrect way to do this. If you’re not sure, get help from a digital marketing agency. (Stat Source: HTTP Archive)

What’s going on? Good information. Just wanted to say that I used to always be pissed off. It was truly awful.I really got into relaxation tapes and I stopped feeling so crazed. My life is so much better now. I hope everyone can eventually overcome their anger.
Anger is such a harmful emotion. Personally, I used to be really angry all of the time.. It was truly awful. Ultimately I really got into deep breathing and I stopped feeling so crazed. My personal daily life is sooo much calmer now. I hope someday that everyone can eventually overcome their anger. But perhaps that is just hopeless naivete on my part?
