There are several criteria which should be implemented. You need to know which market segment(would you like to devote turnover to be price competetive or you want to gain high profitable product) you want to shoot, you must know social caracterisitcs and habits of people that you are targeting. You need to weigh what you want to do. Of course price and quality are most important. Also, computer literacy, product availability are very important. So you can mix all together these criteria in ordert to get right decision. Of course one of way is also social network and presence of a large number of people on them.

Let me narrow down the answer to a specific but very important channel to answer your question - Facebook.

 

Whenever you publish content on Facebook, unless you have paid for it to increase the viral reach, your content will only reach20% of your fans and influencers. 

 

The best thing to do is play around with the Facebook Advanced Ad manager and customize your targeted audience and schedule posts to accordingly to reach a greater and different audience with every  individual campaign, that is part of your strategy. Ding so will allow you to manage budgets for advertising as well.
