Companies are successfully using social media to drive sales,

positive, well known brand.
Social media can be leveraged to create wonderful marketing
masterpieces. Big names like Skittles, and Dell have
successfully used social media to increase their sales, brand,
and the community around their products.
WHAT IS SOCIAL MEDIA?
Social media is online content created by people using highly scalable and accessible publishing technologies. In it’s basic sense, it’s a shift in how people discover, read and share news, information and content. It’s a fusion of sociology and technology, transforming monologues (one to many) into dialogues (many to many) and is the democratization of information, transforming people from content readers into publishers. Social media allows people to connect in the online world to form relationships for personal, political, and business use.
