Types Houston Social Media Platforms

There are many different types of social media platforms: Social interaction platforms such as Facebook and LinkedIn; micro-blogging platforms such as Twitter and Tumblr; photo-sharing sites such as Instagram and Pinterest; video-sharing platforms such as Youtube and Facebook Live.

We take a look at some of the most popular social media platforms for advertising in the corporate world.

Facebook

This is “the” social media platform. Hosting over a quarter of the world’s population, Facebook is unparalleled in its ability to reach customers across the globe. It also offers businesses unrivaled capabilities to customize their ads and target the relevant market by, for example, allowing a business to target customers by location, by job description, by interests, etc.

LinkedIn

LinkedIn stands out from its counterparts in the market it helps cater to. This social platform is predominantly geared towards B2B marketing and so, those businesses looking to advertise to other corporate entities will find this platform ideally suited. This platform features users with the highest disposable income and it is also very good for generating high-quality leads for a number of industries.

Twitter

Twitter is unique in the way it has provided unprecedented access to users to connect with niche and mainstream influencers. It is reported that Twitter users are much more ardent online shoppers than non-Twitter users. Unlike Facebook, Twitter is still viable for organic search as businesses don’t have to pay to connect with their followers. Additionally, Twitter is seen as especially beneficial for smaller businesses with 60% of its users reportedly making a purchase from a small business.

Pinterest

Pinterest is all about images. It also seems to be mostly about women with around 80%of its users being females. Pinterest is a special platform because its users actually come to it with the intent to find and purchase a relevant product. It is also an extremely active platform. So businesses that have a target market demographic of millennial women will find Pinterest the most suited platform to advertise on.

Instagram

Facebook might be the king of social media but Instagram is making a lot of noise in the field of social media advertising. With audience engagement rates 58% higher than that of Facebook, Instagram has become a prominent social media platform for advertising. Heavily reliant on images and videos, Instagram is the perfect platform for businesses that have visually appealing products. Additionally, the majority of Instagram users are in the age range of 18-29. Anyone with a target market matching this age range will find Instagram an extremely powerful tool to use.

Twitter

Videos are powerful tools for engaging customers. They can be extremely effective in showcasing an organization’s products in the most appealing fashion possible. The fact that users can subscribe to channels they like means that businesses can connect with their target market effectively, establish their brand image among them, and grow their pool of loyal customers.

All these and other benefits make social media marketing an integral component of any company’s marketing strategy.

There is no doubt that social media is transforming the landscape of advertising as we know it. However, it is equally important to remember that, to truly benefit from social media, businesses need to use it in conjunction with its other digital marketing counterparts.

Then and only then, can a business truly reap the numerous rewards that social media platforms have to offer.
