Positive Impact of Social Media Advertising on Small Businesses

Advertising on Social Networks is one of the best ways to increase your fans as well as your business. Among various Social Media Advertising, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter are the best platforms to explore the paid opportunity of Advertising that Social Networks offer. One or the other platform will surely prove to be useful for you depending on your business objectives. 

By far, the most developed and widely used platform for advertising on Social Media is Facebook Ads. Similar to the early Google AdWords Interface, Facebook Ads offers a self-serve platform that is available to even the smallest businesses with the most limited budgets. Compared to other matured channels, Facebook has been providing this service with the lowest price for clicks and impressions.
The function of Facebook Ads is it allows users to run ads to attract “Likes” on their landing page, which automatically helps them to create a community of their target customers. Again, this helps them to promote their business indirectly. Facebook Advertising is very effective at B2B targeting. By paying for attracting more “Likes”, the messages on Facebook will reach a wider audience.
LinkedIn Ads and Twitter Ads are the other two famous effective Advertising platforms in Social Media other than Facebook. Twitters Ads is the most underdeveloped advertising platform offering advertising to only large brands in the form of “Sponsored Tweets” or “Promoted Trends”. But LinkedInAds is tremendously effective for B2B Industries. Through LinkedInAds, your messages will be delivered only to people with certain qualifications and titles, such as VP of operations or director of marketing. Linkedin Advertising has been popularly growing in the market.
Therefore, small businesses should start experimenting with social media advertising to reach their target customers at a lower cost and spread their business as well.

  1. The world changes month to month - and you have to move with it! Advertising practices from a decade ago are much less valued today. It is our professional opinion that social media marketing will expand substantially over the next year and into the future.

    One thing that remains constant, however, is the necessity to track and monitor what you are doing, and diligently deciding who you are trying to reach. Customer segmentation analysis is an important component within any type of media marketing.

    There are a lot of resources online that are available to study, and we feel it is best to do the research BEFORE spending time, money & effort into any new advertising endeavor!
