Can one use the social media profile of his family relatives and friends to promote his or her business?

Using the social media profiles of your relatives and friends to advertise and promote your business, would it gain you traction? I mean your family members and friends using their social media stories and status to showcase your business. Can your business go viral online with that?

It is possible but the owner of the account must accept and consent before be using theirs account for such activities! It will be breach of trust. Therefore, you must keep your business activities within the legal boundaries!

A person can use the social media profiles of friends to promote as much as possible. It can actually create viral ads when up to 20 people within a particular location post the same thing on Facebook.

There is notting wrong with doing this, often times i have asked friends and relatives to help post my business on their profile.

I have seen some businesses get huge traction from having many ordinary people advertise their products.
