A comprehensive literature review in Chapter Two delves into ten key aspects of social media marketing, including its influence on customer engagement, brand awareness, lead generation, and sales conversion. Chapter Three details the research methodology, covering aspects such as research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, and data analysis procedures. The chapter also discusses ethical considerations and limitations encountered during the research process. In Chapter Four, the findings of the case study analysis are presented and discussed in detail, focusing on the strategies employed by the small business, the outcomes of their social media marketing efforts, and the challenges faced in implementation. The conclusion in Chapter Five summarizes the key findings of the research, highlights the implications for small businesses engaging in social media marketing, and provides recommendations for future research and practical applications. Overall, this study contributes valuable insights into the impact of social media marketing on small businesses, offering a nuanced understanding of how these businesses can leverage social media platforms effectively to achieve their marketing and business objectives.
