It’s a well-known fact that if a business wants to be successful in these modern times, they need to be online, but being online does not just mean having a one page website. Businesses that want to market themselves successfully online, whether they are B2C or B2B, customer-driven or client-driven, must have a strong online presence and that comes from a website that provides potential clients with the information they need and want and from being present and active on social media. At the very least, every business owner should have a Brand page on Facebook.
