When we run our business,we want to make sure that we get result. It could be your profit in general or certain number of market share and other aspects that we consider important, according to the strategic goal that we have set.
The same goes with Social Media Marketing. There are indicators that show how well you've been performing for the past periods. These indicators would be later be translated into leads. Hootsuite stated that leads are, quite simply, potential customers who have expressed some interest in your product or company and have provided contact information you can use to follow up with more information.
This is my personal belief, but try to think about it contemplatively. your outputs are determined by your input. when someone is being bombarded with certain news, it will affect his/her mind. The same thing happened to me and I bought a mi-band 3 after certain e-commerce platform kept on reminding me about this amazing product. The same goes with our social media attempts. It will pay off in the future, we can't control people's mind, but we can influence them into certain degree. At least, that's what I feel about in this digital marketing industry.

Treat them well and you will be amazed with what they do to spread the words !
4. Retarget when possible
If you are using apps, e-commerce platforms or website with cookies, you can re-target your customers. It means, whenever someone uses browsers and look for certain products, the ads will help you to show that products again for a while. Reminding our potential customers to get back and finish their shopping routine. What a convenience right! Of course, there's some fee you have to pay though.
