As Facebook usage continues to grow, home building companies that aren’t yet taking part in social media marketing for small businesses are going to find themselves at a disadvantage. You might think it’s an unwanted inconvenience and that it’s more time-intensive than it’s worth, but statistics from HubSpot show that in 2013, 42% of companies with a Facebook presence believed that the social media platform is critical or “important” to their business. That’s an increase of 75% over the 2012 statistics, which indicates rapid and substantial growth last year. 

There’s an old piece of fishing wisdom that’s been passed on from generation to generation: “If you want to catch fish, fish where the fish are!” The concept holds true for remodeler marketing as well. If you want to snag leads for your remodeling business, go where the leads are.

Trying to maintain a presence on every social network would result in very little remodeling getting done. Concentrating on just one or two social networks, however, and building a good community within them is better than spreading yourself too thin across them all. 

Facebook is one of the quickest growing social tools for business of all sizes.  The well-known social network quickly and easily connects businesses to the masses, and vice versa.  While the strategy around reaching a wide audience changes at break neck paces with social media in general, here are a few tried and true methods for reaching your target audience that you may not have thought of yet.

As of 2016, Facebook boasts 1.59 billion monthly active users on its platform.  To put that into more tangible terms, the population of India is roughly 1.252 billion and America is 303 million. So if Facebook were a country, it would be about as large as America and India combined.

So with that in perspective, are you positive you're using Facebook as efficiently as you could be?
