Upcoming Webinar: Should Your Business Be Friends with Facebook? New Research Offers Trends, Stories, Advice (and some surprises)

Join us on June 25th at 3 p.m. EDT

Ten Facebook business group owners from 6 countries and 4 continents assembled last December to take a close look at how businesses are using Facebook, the value they are gaining and to share their experiences.

The starting premise: Facebook may, but also may not, become THE enterprise social networking platform. But it’s here, use is growing, so we need to understand the phenomenon and learn from it.

Please join the Facebook Group Investigation team on June 25 at 3pm EDT to discover how businesses like yours can use Facebook and other social networking strategies to grow awareness, build buzz, gain insights and increase sales, and understand the hurdles. Facebook aficionados and skeptics alike will find value in this session.
