I did a FB page for our business and I also have a website. I've found the FB page is sooooo easy to upload a lot of pics at a time. The website takes a bit of time to 'work'.
But, on the other hand, if FB ever decides to shut my FB down (why, I can't think of a reason but it could happen, I guess) I would still have a way to get my product out there.
The website doesn't cost much per year and I think of it as inexpensive advertising and to give me a bit of legitimacy. But everyone is on FB and can just do a click and be on my biz page.
So, does anyone else have these thoughts and lean either one way or the other? Or does it even matter in the long run??

No reason why FB would ever shut down your page. There is a great book in the "FOr Dummies" series called "Marketing your biz on Facebook" . I also highly recommend a free site called mywebees as it's helped my biz page get a lot of likes. I'll look you up on FB & see if I can send you a link.

Here is what I've learned - people are WAY more active on my FB page than my website/blog. They are both about the same thing (homeschooling). There are people who have conversations with me (who I don't know)on my FB homeschooling page (which exists only because of my blog) who have never even been to my website/blog. Figure that one out?? From people I've talked to, they say a website (for writing or selling a product or etc.) is a necessity, but so is FB. People like to have that real time connection, and apparently FB is were its at. :) Just my two cents from what I've been told.

I have a friend who has a very successful business venture and she used Facebook. Her friends often follower her on their blogs so she gets some free advertisements.
I think I would use facebook and a blog.. You just have to commit to putting in the time to keep whatever you do current. I know I get irritated if I find a good blog that someone has not posted to for a week or two, especially if the merchandise is time limited.
Just try several venues and test the market
