Social media marketing is a strategy that every company should embrace if they have not done so by now. Gone are the days when billboards and street advertisements were the in thing. They may still have a part to play, but in today’s society, everything happens on social media. From breaking news to follow up on past news. With a simple tweet, one can make or break a brand. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn are the most popular ones within the corporate environment. Here is why you need a keen eye on these pages this year.
Facebook has billions of active users who log in at least once a day. The advantage of Facebook is not necessary for the number of users it currently has but in your ability to target an advert to specific users who have an interest in what you have to offer. E-commerce entrepreneurs can be able to add their shops on their Facebook pages and link their promotions to specific items on the catalog.

Short, 30 to one-minute videos also have become a great way to get the message out there. Some countries can already add catalogs to their Instagram for people doing e-commerce. With all these great features, a company serious about marketing should definitely take their place on Instagram.
