Abstract
Users now depend on online social networks (OSNs) like Facebook to connect and share information.
Businesses are aware of OSNs' ability to study social interactions and build relationships with clients.
Social media marketing has revolutionized consumer behaviour and communication, enabling
companies to interact directly and affordably with their clients. Small firms, however, frequently fail
to take use of social media marketing's advantages. Marketing tactics and customer-business relations
have altered as a result of Facebook and other platforms. In social media marketing, user-generated
content, brand equity, and word-of-mouth promotion are crucial. Businesses are spending more on
social media, utilizing sites like Facebook for marketing, customer service, and communication, and
placing a strong emphasis on user involvement and trust-based advertising. Purchase intentions are
influenced by a strong brand reputation and customer referrals.The value of involvement on websites
like Facebook is highlighted by increased expenditure in social media operations.
