The given bar chart compares the changes in social media presence of
different UK businesses over the course of 4 years.
Overall, the presence of large businesses on social platforms had by far
the highest overall percentage compared to smaller enterprises. In
addition, a majority of companies showed an upward trend regarding
their social media presence throughout the period given.
In 2012, the virtual presence of small and medium businesses was
approximately 30%, double of which was less than the total share of
larger companies, at roughly 80%. Despite a marginal rise of small
businesses in the following year, there was an increase of almost 20% in
medium- sized businesses which remained relatively unchanged until
2014. Likewise, the same trend was also true for large enterprises, with
figures slightly fluctuating in the first 3 years.
Year 2015 was a notable exception to all companies given a sharp dip to
30% and roughly half of smaller and large enterprises, respectively. By
contrast, there was a dramatic rise in the presence on social media of
each business in the final year. Figures for small and medium
companies peaked at approximately 50% as opposed to almost 80% of
large- scale companies.
