Social media marketing is the use of social media platforms and websites to promote a product or service. Although the terms e-marketing and digital marketing are still dominant in academia, SMM is becoming more popular for both practitioners and researchers. Most social media platforms have built-in data analytics tools, enabling companies to track the progress, success, and engagement of ad campaigns. Companies address a range of stakeholders through social media marketing, including current and potential customers, current and potential employees, journalists, bloggers, and the general public. On a strategic level, Social media advertising includes the management of a marketing campaign, governance, setting the scope (e.g. more active or passive use), and the establishment of a firm's desired social media "culture" and "tone."
Social Media Advertising is a form of marketing that includes creating and broadcasting business content on social media networks. Businesses use social media channels to share their products and services with an online audience. If a company wants to target a specific client base there are demographic options that can be filtered to reach a target audience. Social media advertising campaigns are great for reaching a wide range of online clients searching for a business like yours. Brands on social media share photos of their business products and services to give the viewer an idea of the experience they could have if they visit the business.
