I ‘met’ Cornelia of Chilli Media via Instagram, after chatting on the platform we started chatting offline. Having been dealt a hard blow in the past, I was a bit sceptical.  Anyway, I shared with her more on what my business is about and what I was working towards. She took up the challenge of working with the sceptic with such grace. I really appreciate her attention to detail and client relations. We met twice as per initial agreement without any hassles. Cornelia delivered on commitments she made and I was left a happy client.

What is social media and why is it important for your business?

What is Social Media?

Social media refers to any website or application that is designed to allow people to share content quickly, efficiently, and in real-time. Most popular social networks are Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter.

What makes social media unique is that it is both broad and relatively uncensored. While many social media companies impose some limitations—such as taking down images that display violence or nudity—there are much fewer limitations on what someone can share than there with other means of mass communication like newspapers, radio stations, and television channels.

Anyone with internet access can sign up for a social media account. They can use that account to share whatever content they choose to, and the content they share reaches anyone who visits their page or profile.

Business and Social Media


While any individual can sign up for social media, social media platforms have become an important part of marketing for businesses of all sizes. The key to successful social media is to not treat it like an extra appendage but to treat it with the same care, respect, and attention you do all of your marketing efforts. Here are some things businesses should keep in mind while using social media.

Social Media Marketing Is Fleeting

By its very nature, social media is a short attention span media—you have to catch their attention as they're quickly scrolling through dozens of posts at a time.

You Must Be Active on Social Media

One of the biggest mistakes retailers make is to open up accounts on every social media platform they think is relevant and then leave them alone with no activity.

Focus on the Customer

Another big mistake retailers make is to use social media to talk about what is important to them rather than talking about what is important to the customer.

Images Are Key

Another thing to consider is that the most commonly-shared content on social media is an image, so it's a good idea to include an image with your posts.

Digital marketing uses online platforms like search engines ( Google/ Bing) , social media ( Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok), and email to reach customers, while traditional marketing relies on offline methods such as print, TV, and radio ads.

Digital marketing allows for more precise targeting, better tracking, and real-time adjustments, making it more cost-effective and adaptable. Traditional marketing, on the other hand, can have broader reach and is often seen as more tangible or trusted by certain audiences.

Yes, digital marketing agencies can offer substantial value, especially for businesses that lack the time, expertise, or resources to handle their marketing in-house.

Agencies bring specialized knowledge, strategic insights, and access to tools that can accelerate your marketing efforts and deliver measurable results. They can help you stay competitive in the ever-evolving digital landscape and focus on what matters most—growing your business.

AI will certainly enhance digital marketing but is unlikely to replace it entirely. While AI can automate repetitive tasks, analyze large datasets, and optimize campaigns, human creativity, strategic thinking, and relationship-building are still essential. AI will serve as a tool that supports marketers in making more informed decisions, but it can’t replace the need for personalized, human-driven marketing strategies.
