Although the nature of Social Media (SM) marketing is thriving, the nuances and impacts between women-owned Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) seem to be poorly studied in the literature. The objective of the current study is to improve and expand the understanding of the Performance Benefits (PB) and motivations of SM accumulated by women-owned SMEs through empirical studies of emerging economies. This employed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique on the data collected through a structured questionnaire from Pakistani SMEs owned by women. By employing the online survey method, 253 valid responses were recorded and examined in this paper to measure the motivation of SM use to get the highest PB. The current study finds that interaction, compatibility, and cost-effectiveness are the predictors affecting the use of SM, thus enabling SMEs to achieve certain performance benefits. These findings provide evidence for potential research and management interest issues and have profound implications for academia and the practitioner community. Clearly, despite some usage blocks, women-owned SMEs in developing economies appear to be gaining increased SM benefits by implementing marketing strategies across multiple platforms
