5 Ways Facebook Groups Can Be Useful

1. Organic Ranking –  Pages,  which is what many businesses use,  and ranked using an algorithm. Groups rank posts based on what has the latest comment or like.   This allows the owner of the group to see what topics are getting the most engagement and generating the most enthusiasm. 
2. Targeted Audiences –  Facebook groups are usually built around a specific interest,  task or company.   That means that the audience who joins generally will have an attraction to the topic of the group.   They’ll be more willing to have discussions and learn about the subject. 
3. Education –  There are many groups out there designed for specific garment decoration techniques.   These groups do take some vetting to make sure information is accurate and useful,  but they can be great places to learn something new or brush up on current techniques. 
4. Feedback –  Groups can be a great place to ask questions or an audience that has an interest in your subject.   If you want to test a  new idea or float questions about a possible new product,  a group is an ideal place to do that. 
5. Building community –  Having a strong community on Facebook is one way that a business can build effective engagement.   Creating a group centered on your business can be a way to get people to engage with your business.  It also can help build trust.
