Digital-savvy airlines use their socials to advertise special offers as a way of strengthening relationships with both new and repeat customers. This can be a win-win for both the customers and the airlines.

When creating a Facebook Ad, you can get specific with demographics about Facebook users like gender, location, and age. Where Facebook differentiates itself from other platforms with ads, though, is through lifestyle-based targeting options, like interests, behaviors, education and job history, income, political affiliation, major life events, and spoken languages.

A Verizon outage started a few hours ago and has led to customers seeing nothing but an SOS option if they are trying to use the cellular service. In response, a post by T-Mobile went viral because it doesn't mince words: "T-Mobile's network is keeping our customers connected, and we've confirmed that our network is operating normally and as expected. However, due to Verizon's reported outage, our customers may not be able to reach someone with Verizon service at this time."
"It's exciting for me to get back to my roots," the "Million Dollar Listing" star - whose firm deals in million-dollar listings - said. "Boston is the biggest little city in the world. It's built on culture, built on the ethos of the original founders of the United States - this get-up-and-go attitude. That's what I love so much about Boston. It's in everybody's blood to get up and go and make things happen."
O'Leary's modern money-making idea is to "sell customer acquisition with social media." In essence, he said he would create video content for a business and ask for $100 for every paying customer he earned them. "You'd be amazed at how many business owners have no idea how to use social media, and if you've grown up with a phone in your hand, you do," he said. "It's the best side hustle there is: understanding how to make content for social media."
If Kevin O'Leary woke up broke tomorrow, he wouldn't panic, pout, or panic-buy a lottery ticket. He'd do what millions of people are already trying to do every day-turn their phone into a paycheck. Because in a world where everyone's trying to become a content creator, monetize their Facebook page, or figure out what exactly "engagement" means, O'Leary says there's a better, faster way to make real money.
Social media marketing has become one of the most valuable tools in the modern real estate agent's tool kit. Just ask the 39% of active agents who rank social media as the top technology for attracting high-quality leads, ahead of customer relationship management tools and even the local multiple listing service (MLS). Effective social media content has the power to shape first impressions and influence buying decisions long before a lead schedules a showing, but success doesn't come from posting at random.
Social media has become an essential marketing channel for entrepreneurs, yet finding time to maintain an active presence remains a major challenge. For busy business owners, the constant pressure to create engaging content, respond to comments, and stay visible across multiple platforms can feel overwhelming. The reality is that effective social media engagement requires strategy, not just sporadic posting. Many entrepreneurs struggle to balance social media management with their core business responsibilities.
"To everyone who started using Meltdown and suddenly stopped cancelling plans because of a breakout - we owe you an apology," Blume Skincare wrote on Instagram earlier this month. "Our Drying Lotion is causing breakouts to pack their bags and leave overnight, which has reportedly caused shock, awe, and an unreasonable amount of compliments," Mario Badescu said. "We are truly sorry that our candy tastes so good. But we can't help it," low-sugar gummy brand SmartSweets chimed in.
The world of Mahjong is experiencing a massive and fascinating resurgence.

But move over, Chick-fil-A and KFC, because there's another chicken joint on the block. It's Dave's Hot Chicken, a company that's exploded over the past few years. Chances are, if you're on foodie social media, you've seen a lot about the company. But whether you've tasted the chain's chicken yet or not, there's probably some things you still don't know about the brand.
The Mandai Wildlife Reserve, a tourist park in Singapore, posted a video late last year that became a viral hit: two of its millennial-age employees, wearing staff uniforms, described the park using Generation Z lingo. "Pop off, queen," one of them dryly intones. "Slay," says another. "We let our Gen Z intern write the marketing script," was the video's headline -- which quickly became a meme across social media, with dozens of brands offering their own spin.
Trends can make or break a brand. One viral post can put a business in front of millions overnight. But as quickly as the views rise, they can fall. The real skill isn't going viral; it's staying relevant once the noise fades. The brands that last are the ones that see trends early, act fast, and know how to turn fleeting attention into lasting connections.
The spidonut first appeared innocently enough, as part of a rather generic Halloween menu rolloutlast October. "No tricks, just treats" the brand posted with a series of ghost emojis, promoting its spider confection on Instagram alongside a purple trick-or-treat tub of munchkins. (Honestly, it was meh at best.) The spider doughnut wasn't even new - since 2017 Dunkin's Halloween lineup has included a similar treat with an orange coat of frosting. But apparently the new purple hue unleashed some evil inside that munchkin center.
