Because cell phones are connected to social networking sites, thus advertisements are always in sight.

i think throughsocial networking site its not only the companies but also the customer are finding it easy to convey their message and suggestions to the company.....and this is one of the best platform for the promotion of new product or service, take the Ford Figo campaign for example, where the company rolled out 100 cars for test drive to their target customers and asked them to share their experience in the social networking platform created by the company itself, and as a result the campaign is one of the biggest hit till date and not the one where the company went for celebrity brand endorsement. (Abhishek Bacchan, for Ford Fiesta. in todays generation the majority of the population that is millennials are very advanced, they are aversive towards disdain publicity, they like sharing thoughts and views and are more driven by word of mouth publicity and therefore social networking sites plays the leading role.
