Almost any business is a good fit for Facebook. All walks of life can be found interacting and following friends as well as brands. Facebook’s incredible ability to target users is reason alone to sign up. Reviews can also be enabled on business pages, allowing users to see feedback and other people’s experiences.
- The number of active users has exploded since it’s launch in 2010, currently at 1 billion plus
- Very popular with younger audience (75% of 18–24 year olds use Instagram)
- Great for high quality imagery and video
- Can be setup with eCommerce capabilities
- Has the ability to be connected with Facebook account
Instagram is visually heavy and can be a great pairing for a boutique shop, bakery or even an art gallery. Content can potentially get lost in the endless stream of new posts, so it is important to have a consistent posting schedule as well as engaging material.
- More than 722 million active users
- Great for B2B Companies
- Geared more for professional-development and networking
- Ideal platform for longform content such as blog posts
LinkedIn may not be as entertaining as Facebook or Instagram, or as large, but it can be easier to reach your followers and new users in the newsfeed without having to spend as many ad dollars. It can also be a great resource for finding job candidates.
