Social Media Marketing Classes CT

No one working out a marketing campaign can afford to ignore social media as a means of promoting a business. Facebook alone has 1.86 billion monthly users worldwide, all gathered in one place and ready to be on the receiving end of your marketing message. Although the numbers are smaller, the same is true of Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and TikTok. Knowing how to harness the potential exposure these platforms can afford is the secret to successful marketing in the 2020s.

There are two forms of social media marketing: unpaid and paid. Unpaid marketing is what results from placing intriguing and fresh content on the Internet and attracting customers that way. Paid marketing results from buying space on these platforms to reach your target audience. The two are far from mutually exclusive, and most marketing campaigns make use of a two-pronged approach to reach an optimal number of potential customers. The social media marketer’s job is to make that approach a reality.
