At EMarketer, they recently took time to look into the current spending on social media by enterprises. In this article, they uncover that many companies do not plan to spend much on social media, one-third of marketers surveyed in the iMedia connection poll said they would spend less than $300,000. EMarketer also predicts that $1.6 billion will be spent on all things social media related, such as ad campaigns, searches, videos, and advertising via ad networks.
