services one wishes to market. Social media helps you put up detailed images of such objects for
a better understanding of the general public. As a result of this people ordering products online

uploads videos of their latest advertisements on social networking sites like YouTube to attract
sports-related targets.

by liking brand pages that follows you.

attracting more customers. By tagging other users you are directly inviting them to have a look at
your page as when you tag them they will be notified by the social media itself.
