I have noticed that FB is the new normal for promoting a small biz. The traditional website is kind of Old School.
That's what I was wondering, but it's hard to grasp because a (proper) web site provides much more information, proprietary layout for a better identity, faster loading times, and none of the extraneous FB stuff. A site is just a far superior delivery method in terms of the information. I guess my original question is more about determining if Facebook alone provides enough information or generates sufficient interest for people to explore that company or product. Do people just require less info now in order to make purchasing decisions?
Personally, before exploring/purchasing most items, I need more facts than Facebook
alone can provide. I don't fault anyone for wanting to utilize the fabulous networking and promotional opportunities that are available at basically no cost, and I don't think that FB-only companies are necessarily shady. But if I can't seek additional information, I move on. It's simple business: I need to know a certain amount of information about the product, and sometimes the company, before I can give someone my money.
I would think that in this extreme information age, facts and details are more important than ever. Or is that also an old-school concept? Now
that would be ironic. I relish the ability to access info, opinions & reviews, and make price comparisons on a fairly instantaneous basis. But, maybe
I'm old-school and don't even know it!
