16.0 CONCLUSION (Personal views)


Social media can be an effective marketing and promotional tool for business organization.
By using social media, the organization is able to reach a large number of audiences at low cost.
With the help of viral marketing that occurs on social media, the organization is able to advertise and
promote its products or services for free. This is because satisfied customers will share their
experiences with a particular organization and their personal opinions on social media willingly.
These customers will then promote the organization to their friends on social media. The probability
that friends will visit the organization is high because the recommendation from their friends is free
from marketing strategies by company and they trust their friends.
However, marketing and promotion by using social media can also be ineffective when
people are becoming immunized against the advertisement placed on social media. They may just
ignore the advertisement shown in the particular column and never paying attention about what is
being advertised. Besides, Internet surfers usually mute the video or simply swap to another tab
when they are forced to watch the advertising videos. This will make the advertising videos become
useless because the audiences are not really watching it and the information within those video does
not actually reach the audiences.
