What really matters is whether or not your target audience uses social media. There are no advantages or disadvantages to media, per say. It's simply a vehicle for your message. Either your potential clients are they, or they aren't.
Look at your market, message, and media match. You want all three aligned.
What are you selling, exactly?

I think the disadvantage of social media marketing is that you can't always control what other people are going to say about you or your product. Whatever you choose to do, just make sure that you stay on top of responses and try to head off anything negative. That being said, social media marketing is a really effective tool when utilised properly and aimed at the right audience.

I don't think there are disadvantages of social media marketing. What is important is you have conveyed your message to your targeted audience. It's all up to them to decide whether they will like your idea or not.

One of the biggest disadvantage of social media is the risk of negative comments. Your competitors can use it

I think none. Social media marketing is really effective if you know how to use it correctly.
You have to connect with people. thats the bottomline.

I think the main disadvantage of Social Media is its ever evolving nature. Because of fragmentation of the audience, changes in tech and user's interest, the 18-49 crowd doesn't just spend time on Facebook. It's Facebook for this, Instagram for that, Snapchat for this and Pinterest for that. Instead of the where, focus should be more on the why because the where is going to change

BriGuy-the choice of the platform depends on the industry. Choose what is good now and keep track of new trends.

Remember to use Buffer to time your posts to the peak times. A problem many people have is that they can't adjust their sleep cycle to the peaktime of their market, so they just post whenever, and it ends up going unseen.

Business competition online can be vey risky, a simple competitors idea that can distroy your business is always easy specially when using the social media as source for marketing. I suggest, be polite when using social media marketing, but publish a video marketing ads instead.

I too think that one of biggest challenges are the negative comments, but after all it's feedback from your customers and if you manage to write back and convince them that they are wrong or help with a problem. They can become a positive reviews

Yes, there is a risk of negative comments, but you also have the direct possibility of connecting with your customers and comment back.

Hello,

This is a great question! Well sure, social media has made ourlives somehow convenient and we have become more close to those whom we love that are miles from where we are through constant communication on social media. But of course, it has also some disadvantages that we can never deny. So I hope this helps answer your question http://goo.gl/p53mxZ it's a good read and I hope you'd like it too! It's concise so you won't get bored reading.

Hey,

Well as it has been said multiple times, I do agree with the "e-reputation" issue regarding a brand and products. So yeah of course bad comments and stuff like that can quickly get out of hands but if the communication is done right by the brand, negative comments can be handle quit easily. The main idea is to discuss with ur customers who are not satisfated by your services/produits.
