Over the last few months, it seems like I have heard a lot of "R" words being thrown around. The effects of it is seen in almost the industry.

Then what about Social Media ?

How recession will affect Social Media ?

Increase in number of users on internet

idea posted by Srinivasa Rao G Team Lead, Wipro

As internet is widely used and it will be considered as an essential requirement of modern living during the time of recession. Many will consider talking offline rather face to face. People will spend more time online.

I definitely support this point that there will be more users on the internet during this recession period because:

  • People may dedicate more time to consolidating professional networks via LinkedIn due to concerns/ paranoia about job security.
  • As unemployment increases, people may turn to the Internet for income opportunities, with social media providing a free source of promotion & traffic.

I think with an increase in free time, people will become an active contributor or a publisher via blogs, forums, social networking site and other social media tools.

MR.Rao , right on the point, we will see an increase in number of users and the time they spend online.

They will connect with friends and colleagues via social networks and Instant Messenging rather than meet in person to save on entertainment and travel costs.As cost plays a major role during the time of recession

Add your argument:

Increase in E-mail marketing

idea posted by Krishnan M R Team Lead, Infosys

During recession existing customer will listen to what e-mail marketing is saying, as may have ample time due to layoffs.

Which in turn will boost e-mail marketing.

E-mail marketing is cheaper when compared to traditional marketing.

I will say Without time monitoring one can not get cost. Because there is a term called as monetary value. Due to inflation money value increases. If project time is increasing the price is also increasing day by day.
First and fore most step is to identify your members, once you have identified who work outside the office and how much time they spend in office.
