The usage of these sites in marketing is of utmost importance to the managers and researchers (Felix, Rauschnabel & Hinsch, 2016). Firms are on a continuous lookout for engaging with customers by utilizing social media in the form of promotional and augmentation of the buying behaviour, leading to two-way communication and also enabling information processing (Zeng & Gerritsen, 2014). Also, the adoption of social media sites has seen an expeditious rise due to the growing use of internet, due to which marketers are making an attempt to reach consumers by commercialising their content on these sites (Natarajan et al., 2015). For enhancing its marketing performance and brand image, firms are thoroughly adopting these integrative practices. It can be noted that practises like social media marketing have been adopted worldwide and almost (93%) of the companies are using these as a medium for communicating with the consumers (Bennett, 2013). There are a varied Social Media Marketing practises adopted by the firms in the form of advertising, electronic word of mouth, customer relationship management, branding, consumer buying behaviour and perception. Nevertheless, out of the varied practises advertising on social media sites has grabbed attention of the marketers and researchers (Alalwan, 2018; Arora, Agarwal & Kumar, 2018; Arora and Agarwal, 2019; Duffett, 2015; Murillo et al., 2016; Saxena & Khanna,2013; Shareef et al.,2017; Taylor, 2011). This argument can be supported by the huge investment such as $ 32.3 billion in 2016 by the worldwide organisations which are dedicated to social media advertising campaign (Statista, 2017). Also, the expenditure in social media ads is expected to rise to 72% within the time span of 2016-2019, which is worth US$ 50 billion (Zenith, 2016). Now this huge investment always raises a query about the utility of such ad campaigns.
