The growth of social media has been apparent for the past few years that it isn’t used to just communicate and entertain, but it also has been a platform for companies to market their products to which we call advertising.
           
Since different age groups has been really involved in social media sites, advertising companies takes advantage of this especially those who have wide range of target markets for they can reach more people and gain more. Even social media platforms acknowledges the existence of this advertising method, a good example is the social networking site Facebook which offers ways such as boosting your advertisements so that more people will be able to see it.
           
This is due to the continuous progress of technology and people’s dependence unto it that at this moment, almost every person in the world owns a smartphone that can access to different social media sites however and whatever time it is. Meaning, as the number of people that are using smartphone increases, the more people have access to social media, the more people advertisements reach.

Notice when you visit YouTube and the ad lasts only for 5 seconds? This is due to the consideration that most of the people that have access to social networking sites are millennial, and are said to have shorter attention span that lasts only for 5-6 seconds. Meaning, advertisements geared towards this target market already studied how they can capture and package their products basing from the perspective of their consumers.


This shows how social media has been a platform for advertising that even successful businessmen once started in just a small online store. The power of social media in advertising is evident on how it gives opportunity to companies that wants their products to be known and helps reach people from different parts of the world to acknowledge such product.  Lastly, it gives people the chance to explore their marketing creativity by appealing to their consumers by learning what and what not to put in their advertisements.
