Social commerce continues to be a driver of growth for the company, with more than 100,000 Facebook fans, quadrupling since February 2012, and growing at a pace of more than 100\% per month. Through opportunities like exclusive giveaways and original content, the Hello Music Facebook page has become a major driver of new members and sales, accounting for nearly 25\% of all Hello Music revenue, and making social media an integral part of the Hello Music secret to success.
