Whereas traditional advertising campaigns using print, radio, television and signage were expensive and often too costly for many small business to mount effectively, social media advertising can reach millions of viewers and potential customers for much lower prices than traditional media. Using sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, even posting ads across high-traffic sites such as craigslist can result in great sales and better advertising for the money spent than traditional advertising media. Some social media sites, such as Facebook, have hundreds of millions of visitors every single day. The ability to reach this many potential customers at low prices is revolutionizing the way businesses find and retain consumers.

Print formats offering advertising are closing at a rapid rate, being overtaken by the provision of the same copy online, often for free. Many of these publications moving to offer online content exclusively still retain high viewership, though, and are eager to earn advertising revenue online. Popular magazines utilizing their own social media for generating and retaining readers can present a great opportunity for businesses to continue valuable relationships with publishers while reaching many new potential customers.
