Still wondering if Facebook is right for your business? We see many companies who are waffling – should I or shouldn’t I get involved in social media? Finally, a blog post that sets things straight and gives you four solid reasons why your business SHOULD NOT BE on Facebook.

2. You’re afraid to talk to your customers.
Truth is, Facebook opens you up to actually communicate with your customers. If your products suck and/or your service is subpar, definitely stay away from Facebook.

3. You don’t have anything to say.

There you have it…four reasons to avoid social media.
