Thesis Statement
social
media
platforms are popular nowadays and are used for advertisement and a great avenue to attract potential customers. However, the use of social
media
has its own benefits as well as downsides.We are now living in a
fast paced
community, thus, important responsibilities aside from our job such as purchasing groceries for the family or even shopping have been quite difficult for some because of lack of free time and energy to do so after an
8 hour
job.
That is why, internet has been very helpful for these busy individuals. One can grab their phone, connect to the internet and open any social
media
application which offers different kinds of advertisement to
certain products
. In turn, more and more sellers
advertise their products
online because they can reach more customer not only in one location but perhaps worldwide. In addition, there is no need for these businessmen to pay rent for a physical store. All they need is a high speed
internet and their phone. One good example is Tiktok
, where live selling is predominant.However, we
can't
ignore the fact that selling online products
also has its disadvantages. Sellers
cater to anyone engaged on their platform online, thus,
bogus buyers can't
be avoided. These miners of online products
could use dummy accounts to buy something, letting the seller
believe that they are legit buyers.In conclusion,
social
media
advertising has advantages that benefits
both sellers
and consumers. The disadvantages are evident but
it can be avoided by being more cautious and knowledgeable in negotiating online.
