Social Media is an ever-growing, ever-changing outlet that enables you to interact on a more personal level with your customers. Using posts, photos, videos, online reviews, and “likes,” social media enables you to reach a wider audience than you might have reached through a website alone.
Networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have always been an easy, free way to market your company. With an estimated total of more than 2.6 billion smartphone users worldwide*, access to social media is now easier than ever!

However, these platforms have changed the way content is viewed. This means that the best way for companies to be seen, is to pay for advertising on these platforms. While compelling, informative, high quality content is necessary, it is increasingly making sense for businesses to invest in pay per click advertising. This means close attention to your social media impact and an understanding of the factors affecting your performance.
