Everything YOU Need to Know About Social Media Marketing

Whether you’re advertising for a small business or large corporation, social media marketing is easily the most effective way to expand your reach. When it comes to advertising online, corporations have the option to advertise their content across various social media platforms through the clever use of trending hashtags and interacting with fellow users. Furthermore, social media is a great way to see what your competitors are doing in terms of marketing and if it seems to be successful. Many social networks also offer a paid advertising option, which companies can take advantage of to advertise their products, profiles, and even specific posts. Some social networking platforms, such as Instagram, also offer what is known as a “business profile”. A business profile allows users to see how much traffic their page is getting and the statistics of certain posts.

• Facebook has more users than any other social network with 2,196 million active profiles.
• 51% of Instagram users visit the platform daily with 35% of them opening the app multiple times a day.
