Why Should You Care About Social Media Marketing?
Social media marketing uses a combination of organic and paid messaging to engage consumers and expand your brand’s reach. Social media provides a way to generate leads, drive sales and traffic to your website, take control of your brand, and interact with consumers in real-time.

Social media these days is flooded with ads and promoted content so it is important to know what will get your consumer’s attention and what types of content they most interact with. It helps to keep your organic and paid social media marketing efforts focused on the right goals.
