Encroaching on one billion users, it’s a great way to keep in contact with existing clients and reach the broad community (prospects). Facebook is an essential place to build connections with people, connect with “fans,” announce new products or services, share news, and gather feedback—all essential for building client relationships.For businesses that currently have a presence on Facebook, spring is a great time to do some clean up. For those who have yet to venture into the world of social media…it may be time to give it a try.The good news is that Facebook is going to do a great deal of your clean up for you.
