Social Media and Promotion

Promotion is a very important part of selling the product/service. There are many different ways a company can promote its product to the public. I think that social media is the most effective way because it isnt as aggressive as say a survey would be. With todays world being dominated by social media this gives companies an opportunity to connect with many potential customers on a consistent basis. People are constantly on their phones and laptops so this constant reminder of a product or products gives the companies promoting their products through social media a competitive advantage in the market. Contests are also a great way for a company to promote its product and with consumers online all the time this gives companies a chance to combine these two promotional strategies into one. This may not be as successful because for me personally when I see a contest online I ignore it, assuming its spam or some kind of virus.

Although social media is a great way to promote a product, in what ways would it be unsuccessful?
