Facebook Groups
Groups are a great way to grow a community of keen users who are interested in your content and want to know more. Having a group allows you to connect and provide exclusive information to the members.
The users in your Facebook group are probably your most dedicated customers. They’re spending their time thinking about your business and engaging in discussions because they want to.
This is an opportunity to gain insight from the people who know your business best. Listen to their suggestions, know what they value, ask for feedback, and then put it into action.
