S N A P S H O T S U RV E Y he June Snapshot Survey covered social media use for ISPA members. The last Snapshot Survey to cover social media was the March 2012 survey, so it was interesting to see how much more popular social media marketing has become over time. Notable usage changes include 40 percent of all spas using LinkedIn as a business tool in June of 2017, compared to just 31 percent in 2012. T However, the most noteworthy change is Instagram, which was still in its infancy in 2012, and is now used by 80 percent of all spa respondents and 76 percent of resource partner respondents.
