Advertising Through Social Media

Promoting Products Using Social Media

What do you think about advertising through social media such as Twitter, Facebook, etc.?  I believe that this is a very inexpensive form of advertising for many start up companies which is leading to many well known companies to follow in that direction.  Since social media has increased tremendously within the past five years or so it is so easy, as the article relays, to simply have your consumers follow your products through your social media sites.  Many of these companies even do several promotions throughout the year through their social media sites which attracts many new customers just within one year.  As I stated I believe this is a very inexpensive way to advertise ones products and to interact with their customers and it is becoming a top priority for many companies.

SuperBowl Commercials

Superbowl

After watching the SuperBowl last Sunday I had the same feeling as this article reveled.  I felt that there were not many commercials that stood out to be outstanding.  There was one or two that I thought was creative but I did not catch the correlation with the brand therefore I did not consider it "good advertising".  As this article states there is a lot of pressure to create the best commercial that is aired for the first time during the SuperBowl but I think do not think that is the real reason for this years performance as we have seen many good quality commercials presented in the past.
