Clearly privileging social networks over their official blog and news channels, 71.1% of the Top 100 Retail Franchises regularly update their Facebook business page with messages, pictures and short news.
Still, 28.9% of Top 100 Retail Franchises don’t bother to address their social audience on the #1 social network, or feel the need to promote their brand to its 1.6 Billion worldwide users.
