Findings:

Communication about the product or service provides a major contribution to brand competition
in the market. It not only provides information about a product or service but also promotes
creative innovation. Besides advertising, it also facilitates consumer satisfaction. The hidden fact
is that no brand can progress without effective communication strategy to attract their customers
or users. Big and small variety of brands nowadays laid their base on social network
communication to get recognized in the target market.

Social networking sites users of Face book, Twitter and linkedin have become a personal, product
and corporate branding hub in India nowadays in digital era. Every brand that exists on social
networking sites has the same core features and benefits, such as the ability to create a page, share
resources, add multimedia and much more. Social networking sites are filled with potential users
who are mainly young adults. They spend more time in these networking sites due to heavy
commercial contents, entertainment and social gathering. So, product or service communicators
throng their ads in these areas with more and more interactive and with fascinating factors so that
their brand identity is developed among the right choice of focused audience. Advertisers and
brands uses social networking sites as the major resource for their promotion and developing brand
identity among the focused market.

Recommendations:
Communication should be more preferred than advertising: people do not prefer buying products
through social networking sites. So, if the brand is communicated well and remembered by the
audience, then it is a greatest success to the company for their promotion through social media.

Promotional way of advertising is best: the usual banner ads and pop-up ads make the users to
ignore them. So advertising must be interactive, promotional and in innovative form to hold the
audience. It should target the individuals than the mass. If an ad is hosted for a group then that
would be no advantage in delivering specified information. Adding more multimedia elements to
have more interactive factors in fan pages and group would benefit the brand user.
