Why Facebook??

• Facebook is a platform or an interface where you can manage all your online social interaction needs with facebook chats, marketplace and fan pages etc.
• Facebook is more Visual and interactive based so it is much more effective for businesses where your visual presence is more important.
• Facebook Marketplace has come up with many to many models and thus it has more reach to potential customers.
