social media strategy for increasing business but if it was not sued company would achieve the
success but company would not be so popular in market and it would not have built brand
image in market.
On the Instagram website company will use the strategies like the about giving the post
on the page. In the Instagram company will not give the new updates but the company will use
the Instagram in the creative way. Instagram has the option of updating the stories and that
story is visible by the people if they are following the page. These platform is used by the
company to promote the products but by the way of the videos and by the way of the interview
of the people which are using the products. So the company will use the social media for

planning to buy the products (Amazon case study).
Company wants to engage with the customers and also company wants to satisfy the
need of the customers in the online market. Many of the customers will not buy the products
because the company is selling the products and so company is making the effective measures
for getting the trust of the customers. The applications will contain the very detail of the
products regarding the company of the products and the manufacturing of the product. By the
way of the mobile application company will identify he choices of customers and the
application will provide the products which are as per the choice of customers. Company is
also attracting the customers by the way of the free shipping and the offer and discount on the
prices of the products. On these mobile applications company will not only sell the products to
customers but the businessman which want to sell the product online will also register on the
application and they will sell the product on the online store (Nairn 2019).

help the company to identify the problems in the mobile application because the business of
amazon is run by mobile application as well. Jeff bezos is running in the effective way and it
will help the company to secure the details of customers which is tried in mobile applications.
Company will also focus on the business intelligence and the data analytics as well (Weber
and Jones 2016). These applications will have many problems like the technology is used by
the company to work in the effective way but the company will face the problems like the
applications are used in the machines and machine will not work in the effective manner every
time. So the company has to look after the applications and the technology will so protect the
data of people which are trading by the website of the amazon (Kaur and Wadera 2018).

These applications company is running the business in the effective way and company
will the online advertising as well. The advertisements have the option to work in the effective
way and these will also help the customers to work in the effective way. Online advertising

help the company to work in the effective way and amazon will also help the business by
