Back when Facebook first launched I gotta tell ya, it didn’t interest me much. None of the social media sites did. I felt like there were better ways to spend my online time. Flash forward a few years and I’ll admit I do enjoy logging into Facebook to see what my friends and family are up to, and also see any specials or sales posted by businesses I’ve chosen to “like".
Facebook really can help your business be more social. It opens up pathways to communicate directly with your customers like never before. Sure, you’ll also hear their complaints, but sometimes those complaints can be great motivators to improve things. I think posting sales and specials on Facebook is a great way to get the word out to your existing clients and better then sending that same information by email. People LOVE Facebook and they’re more likely to log in every day. Do you really think they’re reading email every day. Probably not. You want to be where your customers are and according to these stats by “Online Schools” they’re all hanging out on Facebook.
Just look at some of these statistics. Is your business on Facebook? If not what are you wating for. Social networks aren’t going away anytime soon. If anything Facebook is more powerful then ever. What do you think?
