Well it depends on business nature, however both PPC and SMM are good ways to create awareness, promote services/products and acquire leads. SEO is an important element that you need to consider as it is great for the long run. 

If the business is B2C, then you can promote offers, discounts, contest, pictures, videos and viral contents. If business is B2B then you need to bring up content level to be at the same wavelength with your target audience, for example business owners, managers, CEOs, CTOs, CFOs, Engineers and specialists... content types for B2B can be tips, articles, info-graphics, videos, photos, webinars, etc.

You can start with the social media & the PPC, but its never enough.

 

You should have a complete marketing strategy, that covers all the media channel (Online & Offline), PPC & Social Media are integral parts of any marketing strategy.

 

If you have a limited budget, you can start with the online as its more cost effective, its easier to track and create direct response.

Social media are better for the immediate response & PPC are best for the future ahead as they grow very slowly, but effective in future.
