Consumers are spending more time on social media than ever before. In fact, 71% of consumers say their social media use increased in the past year. And while that’s not surprising, given the ways we have learned people’s habits changed during the intensity of the pandemic, there are signs that the increase isn’t letting up. By generation, the increase of use breaks down to a 78% increase by Gen Z, to a 54% increase in social media use over the last year by Baby Boomers.

It doesn’t take much to see that using Instagram as part of your builders’ social media marketing strategy is a smart move.
