Online businesses have seen a sales growth of around 50% in the past year, with Facebook and Twitter being used in three quarters of etailers.

A recent survey of more than 1,000 businesses, conducted payments processor SagePay, concluded that the number of online businesses using Twitter doubled to 76%, and 76% also have their own Facebook page.  It's great to see that more and more businesses are taking advantage of the amazing potential of social media.  You only have to look at some of our blog posts over the past couple of years to see how things are evolving.
