to effective marketing strategies. This article will give an overview of the current state,
In the changing marketing context, traditional mass-marketing tactics are less effective,
and it’s necessary to re-define marketing approaches (Thomas, 2007). The mass-marketing
strategies incur large expenses, and reach out to numerous customers who are not necessarily
potential customers. However, social media have developed a role of customer empowerment
agents and rapidly expand the market share. The social media App market was valued at
$49.09 billion in 2022, and 77% of businesses use social media as their marketing channel
(Wong, 2023).
Social media marketing is the use of social media platforms for creating marketing
contents and establishing the interactive relationship with potential customers, in order to
promote products or ideas. Working as a marketing tool, social media is the source of users'
voice and also the platform to run a branding campaign (Constantinides, 2014) .

social media marketing has introduced a sustainably effective social feedback cycle for
marketing, as is shown in Figure 1 (Evans & Mckee, 2010), and there are many advantages to
this operating mode. Firstly, running the cycle of social media marketing is at a relatively low
cost, comparing with mass-marketing tactics (Ajina, 2019). Secondly, the use of social media
marketing increases traffic (Elby, 2020), since the users’ feedback can influence potential
users in turn. Thirdly, if the cycle sustains effectiveness, the brand awareness will continue to
increase and brand loyalty will be strengthened from the bottom up. A research conducted by
Kim and Ko (2010) also suggests that social media marketing has prominent impact on brand

marketing. One of the biggest challenges is the constantly evolving social media landscape.
As new platforms emerge, it can be challenging for businesses to keep up with the latest
trends and updates. Moreover, social media algorithms change frequently, making it difficult
On the one hand, for well-developed platforms, the organic reach is decreasing because
of algorithm mechanism and increasing amount of contents competing for space on users’
feeds (Newberry, 2023). On the other hand, new platforms and new features are emerging
constantly, which brings both challenges and opportunities. A good example of this is,

content that resonates with the audience. The attention span of social media users is limited,
and businesses need to produce content that captures their attention and motivates them to
engage with it. Additionally, measuring the success of social media campaigns can be
problematic, because, unlike traditional marketing techniques, the ROI of social media
To cope with the fierce market competition, marketers should adhere to the interactive
nature of social media marketing, and turn to the social media marketing strategy that can
reach higher customer engagement. Because by applying the strategy with higher degree of
engagement, social media’s role as customer agents, customers’ social media use motivation
driven by incentives (Muntinga et al. 2011) and the interactive nature of social media
marketing can be consistent and cohesive, that is, to reach a consensus on empowering the
customers.
Figure 2
Based on the study of Li et. al.(2020), social customer relationship management (CRM)
strategy is expected to have the highest customer engagement among the four common
strategies, as illustrated in the Figure 2. The social CRM strategy emphasizes customer
content (UGC) to promote the business. UGC can include reviews, testimonials, and
customer-generated photos and videos that can be shared on the company's social media
pages. This form of social proof can significantly enhance the credibility of a business and
improve the chances of customer conversion. Customer participation brings creative resources
for value co-creation with the enterprise, and in turn benefits the brand loyalty.
In conclusion, social media marketing presents several challenges and opportunities for
businesses. The adoption of social media strategy encourages organizations to achieve their
marketing objectives with a greater emphasis on the interaction and engagement with
potential customers. Faced with the ever-changing environment of social media, marketers
should adhere to customer engagement strategy in order to boost traffic and strengthen brand
Companies that can successfully navigate the ever-changing social media landscape, create
engaging content, and measure the success of their campaigns can greatly benefit from the
potential of social media marketing.
