Want More ASI? You Got It! (4/29/09)

Social media spending in the U.S. is forecast to increase from $716 million this year to more than $3.1 billion in 2014, a 34% compound annual growth rate, Forrester Research said this week at the Forrester Research Marketing Forum.

A recent ASI E-News Survey found that the adhesives and sealants industry is once again keeping up with the trends. More than 60% of respondents said that they use LinkedIn and nearly 40% use Facebook.
