Have you ever been scrolling on social media, and something caught your attention? You could have fallen victim to social media marketing. Have no fear, it’s all by design.
They’re Watching You
This is a little scary, but it is also true. Your phone, tablet, or computer are watching your every move. That’s right, that “Clear History” button can’t save you now. This is how social media gives you adds that you will find interesting. They use cookies from other sites to curate items that you might think are interesting or potential buys. This is why when you are why you are scrolling, or clicking through stories you get some items that you could buy.
Another AD.
These social media platforms sell space for ads, just like stores do. This is why it seems like every 15 post you scroll through, you see a ad. This isn’t a bad thing at all. How many times have you been thinking about what to get your parents for the holidays, and as you scroll through instagram you come across something and say “You know what dad will like this” Or you forget to get your wife something for her birthday and you find something that she will think is cute after clicking a story? (Seriously only me?) Needless to say, these ads can come in handy, and they are just a click away!
