Who’s your target? Courtesy of Sprout Social, we bring you some fresh insights on who’s using which social platforms so you can better focus your content efforts. This week’s infographic provides recent demographics for top sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others, breaking out usage based on gender, age, location, income, and education.

First, of course, you need to know who your target audience is. According to our pick, a good place to start is with your sales and marketing team, as well as engagement data from social sites you may already be using and other customer touchpoints. Then, using the infographic’s demographic data, you can determine if you’re where you should be and whether you need to have a presence elsewhere, enabling more effective allocation of resources.

For more guidance, along with all the numbers, see the full infographic Social Media Demographics for Marketers on Social Times’ site.
