Abstract

This study examines the growing influence of social media marketing (SMM) on traditional marketing methods. As businesses shift toward digital platforms, social media has emerged as a powerful tool to engage consumers, enhance brand visibility, and generate leads. This research explores how SMM has transformed marketing strategies, its effectiveness compared to traditional marketing (TV, radio, print), and whether the latter still holds relevance. Data was collected through surveys, case studies, and secondary sources to provide a comprehensive view of the evolving marketing landscape. Social media marketing has revolutionized traditional marketing by introducing interactive consumer engagement, real-time feedback, and cost-effective promotional strategies. This paper explores the influence of social media marketing on traditional marketing methods, analyzing shifts in consumer behavior, advertising strategies, and business decision-making.
