Facebook has been a frequent topic on this blog, in fact we just did one last week an a recent upgrade to Facebook Business Pages. Now comes an article titled 3 Reasons Why Your Business Should Avoid Facebook that describes how a Facebook Business Page can be a liability rather than an asset for your small business. The article presents three reasons why it might be a good idea to avoid Facebook.
- It's Stressful for Consumers
- You're Hard to Find
- Privacy and Security
Make sure and read the comments at the end of the article that present some more ideas on the value of Facebook for your small business. Two comments are in favor of a Facebook Business Page and actually have some figures to back up why they feel it is certainly is an asset. One other comment presents pros and cons of your business being on Facebook. So after reading the article and the comments how do you feel about your small business and Facebook?
There are many pros and cons to implementing Facebook into your business. However, in the long run I don't think there is much of a difference if you use it or not.

I don't think FB is a good place to drum up new business but it's a great way to generate interest from customers who already know about your business. Letting them know your are on FB & how to find you there is as simple as putting an icon on the front page of your website or in your marketing emails. FB postings are a great way to remind people of events, talk about new merchandise, etc.
