Case Study: Facebook Marketing

Last week we presented in a group a Case Study about Facebook Marketing. We had to work out how companies use Facebook for their self-marketing. 
The result was that there are three different ways of using Facebook for self-marketing: Pages, Ads and Groups.
They have their pros and cons but I think the most effective way to market on Facebook is to use a page. In a page the companies can advertise and the customers can also give their opinion about a product or the latest news of the company. So the companies know always what the customers expect and so they can focus on that. This is the key of a good marketing strategy.

1a.) What do you think is Social Media?

I think Social Media is a communication opportunity(Network) for people. They can share their photos, videos and their opinion in the internet and with their friends and family. It's the newest way of Communication. Social Media is also a very important part of Marketing. Celebrities and companies all over the world use Social Media to get famous.
