Facebook may be the top social platform, but it isn’t always the most successful for every brand out there. Facebook tends to succeed more for B2Cs while B2Bs tend to lean towards platforms like LinkedIn.

Nice post and thanks for sharing it here. Though we can say that
Facebook may have good side and bad side but most of us are aware that it is
one of the most effective way of exposing the business to targeted customers
and also for entrepreneurs they consider it as one the best marketing
strategies aside from giving coupons. But I am pretty much impress on how
Facebook is dealing with those customer’s feedback, every user’s complaint are always
given appropriate solutions just to make its users be satisfied and enjoy its
usability.
