For it's enough to look at the demographic indicators of each social network or analyze examples of your competitor's campaigns. In addition, you can create a survey among existing customers, for example, through the mailing. This will help to know more precisely what social media channel they prefer.
Type of the product/service

Advertising of parties, leisure time services, beauty, sports, and art products is more relevant on Instagram. While advertising on LinkedIn and Twitter are more popular among companies from the financial, automotive, construction and educational spheres. Facebook and YouTube reach the largest audience among people from a wide variety of industries. Therefore, on these channels, you can promote almost any kind of goods or services.
