Social media is how we connect to people, not only our friends and family, but people with similar interests. The importance of social media is to market products, promote brands and connect to current and potential customers.

What is social media?

In the dictionary social media is described as, “websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking”.

In 2017, it was estimated that 2.46 billion people around the globe use social media… and that number continues to rise.  Social media is how people communicate and connect today.  It is how many people receive information about what is going on around the world, keep in touch with friends, and learn about new products and ideas.

Why is it important to use social media?

The reason social media is so important is because it is utilized every single day by billions of people and it allows companies/individuals to share products and experiences in a very organic way, sharing personal opinions and recommendations.  It has never been easier to share products we are loving with others, and if you are a social media influencer, you can even receive payment or your honest opinions.
