Respondents who own or manage a business were asked the following question:
-Does your business use social media? If so, please indicate below all of the reasons you use social media, if your business doesn’t use social media please select the option at the end of the list.
Data calculation/treatment
Results for the business segment are representative of all New Zealand businesses by business size, region and industry. Results are also weighted to a
40%-60% split for businesses with a domain name vs businesses without.
Consumer results (ie for people who don't manage or own a business) are representative of all adults in New Zealand by age, gender, and region.
Where results are for all people (both business and consumers) the numbers are unweighted.
Where results are for all people (both business and consumers) the numbers are unweighted. Because many respondents belong to the business segment, the results are skewed towards this group and are unlikely to represent the true New Zealand average.
