Facebook is a social media networking site that allows users to connect with friends, family, co-workers and others, including groups of people who share similar interests. Users can share pictures, videos, articles and opinions with their friends. Here, we explain few reasons on why brands should make social presence on Facebook:

Facebook provides the brands ability to better target audiences based on their demographics, behaviors and other interests. This becomes very important for both marketing and advertising content strategies. Facebook dark posts is another powerful tool for brands to reach specific target audiences and test different marketing strategies without affecting their brand image.
Get insights about your audience, industry
