Marketing for Free?

As we are studying through our marketing analysis of Campus Mom Laundry, a marketing budget can be used quickly and may not be the most efficient way of connecting to a direct group. With the introduction of Facebook, a marketing budget can now be stretched since an account is free.

Some ways that Facebook can be used for a business:
-update customers with new information (directed at the business)
-enlighten the viewer about news articles
-create a unique interactive experience
-make connections to other sites (business website or blog)
-hold basic information (address, phone number, hours of operation)

This list is not completely exhausted, but it is a start. Facebook can also help businesses make immediate updates and communication with customers and clients. This will show that the business is technologically saavy as well as interested in having the company flourish.

Would you use a business that did not have a facebook?
