We will discuss in detail the benefits of social media in general:

• Passing the message faster to a wider audience – The main benefit of social media is the ability to rapidly share information among a large group of people. When you consider the traditional channels of marketing products and services, it usually takes hours or a few days to reach the target audience. Be it a paper or television advertisement, it takes time to prepare, edit and publish it.
  But this is not the case when it comes to social media networks and channels. Rapid and instant distribution of news articles along with the addition of images and various multimedia content can be benefited.  Once your product, service or even announcement is made on social media, it spreads at a rapid rate among friends, colleagues, and target audiences in no time. Links will be shared and opinions will be posted with immediate effect. It is fascinating to know that almost every product and service is marketed through social media every single second of the day. Promotions and even sales are pitched within seconds. It has certainly had a massive impact.
• Improves Branding Rapidly – The entire social media network which also includes blogs is useful when it comes to creating awareness of a movement or organization or even an individual human being. How does it create brand awareness and recognition? Social media, especially blogging helps pass on the news rapidly when it comes to a particular company, the products and services the company sells etc. Furthermore, when using social media, you can easily and directly gather customer feedback in forms of comments, opinions, messages, emails, fact sheets etc and gather important information about your target audience. This insight can be used to improve your product or service taking into consideration what your customers actually think of your brand.

Therefore, categorizing the main benefits in no particular order:
