In fact, social media advertising budgets have grown consistently for nearly half a decade, a trend that shows no sign of slowing. Experts expect that billions more dollars will be spent on social media advertising each year for the foreseeable future — even though social media ads are some of the least expensive available! Besides the obvious leaders like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, platforms like Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Snapchat offer businesses exciting opportunities to reach their customers in seemingly organic, fun ways.

Sometimes it seems like everyone’s on Facebook, doesn’t it? That’s one appearance that isn’t deceiving, as 72 percent of all adult Americans are on some type of social media platform. Many businesses are on social media, too—and most can’t afford not to have a social media presence. Why? Seventy-four percent of Facebook users check out what their friends, family, and favorite businesses are up to every day. Businesses must make sure they don’t miss out on that kind of exposure and interaction with their customers.
But what makes up a social media presence? Organic posts? Paid ads? Boosted posts? Stories? Videos? Recommendations? Yes. All of those. Effectively using social media is far more complex than simply putting out a post every few days.
Business pages need a strategy to be effective with the ever-changing algorithm these platforms use. Additionally, paid social ads have their own implementation strategies and rules of engagement.
Social media content builds a following via organic posts and interactions with the audience by commenting and conversing with them when they engage with your posts. This is different from the paid advertising side of these channels.
Social media advertising is the obvious workhorse of the two, but without social media content creation, you’re missing out on a key flavor in the digital marketing mix.
Don’t buy into the notion that organic social content is purely about conversations and engagement. It’s also about building brand awareness! A recent study by Global Web Index reported that 21 percent of Internet users look to social media for recommendations and comments on brands, and 34 percent seek information about products on social media. According to Forbes, 78 percent of consumers’ purchases are impacted in some way by companies’ social media posts.
Even the newest platforms are proving effective for social media marketing. According to a consumer behavior survey by Adweek, 49 percent of all TikTok users purchased a product after seeing it promoted on the platform. Facebook and Instagram remain hot players in the industry, too, with 41 percent of adults saying they purchased something after they saw it on Facebook and half saying Instagram posts influenced their purchases.
