INTRODUCTION

Facebook. You’ve heard of it. You probably have an account. You may have all of your high school friends on your Facebook account. You may even have found a few people you forgot about. You may even have time for a few of those games – or you may loathe their very existence. It’s a place you go to hang out, learn something, and read something or maybe you sign in rarely.

Have you allowed your business to have its own ability to socialize and interact with potential customers and other businesses?

Perhaps you don’t want to let your business meet your friends. Perhaps you don’t want to push ads on your friends or cause them to think less of you for talking about your business. That’s okay. Your business deserves its own presence on this social media-marketing site. Are you ready to give in and open an account?

4. It is not expensive. Even if you do invest in advertising on the site, the costs are highly affordable. You do not need to do this, though. Through effective marketing, you can use the site with no cost.
5. It’s where the competition is. Hands down, that is one of the key components of building a business – finding out what the competition is doing so you can do it bigger and better.
Is Facebook an option? You do not want to spend a lot of time and money on the process if it isn’t going to work for you. That’s a given.
