It is free and it is happening ! Tell me frankly how many times in a day do you check you mobile and the apps of facebook, twitter, whatsapp? You will get the answer yourself of why social media marketing is important. 

With smart phones, the reach of social media has become more accessible to common man. You can personalize your messages and content depending on geography, needs, location preferences etc. 

Most importantly it is the most economical of the mediums available. Compare it with other mediums like TV, newspaper, Radio or even internet. You cannot track the ad content posted on above mentioned mediums to the level of which any social media allows you to track it. Eg, you cannot track exactly who is watching your ad on TV, while on social media is more personalized, you can exactly tell who has seen, clicked and purchased a product from your ad.

Moreover you can edit, customize and re-use the same message over and over again and that too it stays on these sites permanently, unless of course if the soical site is no longer running. You do not need to renew domain like your website nor you need to worry about your message getting obsolete as you can edit & reuse. 

This is just a glimpse of how imporant social media is for the business. You can check more details here
