A Farewell to Facebook
In light of recent security issues with Facebook we have
decided to discontinue our Facebook pages, business and personal. While this is not the only reason it’s the
one that pushes us to take the action.
While Facebook has been a nice forum to post in-progress
things one wouldn’t normally post on a website: live videos, in-progress
sketches, and light-hearted outlooks; the results and ROI (return on
investment) have not been worth it.
We’ve had this page since 2008 and in that time we’ve received five
leads for projects, one that turned into a prospective client meeting but not a
project. Facebook seems to be more
suited for B2C (business to consumer) sales than the B2B (Business to Business)
leads more typical of an architect’s lead base.
We’ve had the best results from LinkedIn having met a couple
of contractors through LinkedIn which HAS materialized into projects. Google Plus doesn’t seem to have taken off
like Facebook but at least they are not making the news for security breaches –
yet.
We thank all of you who have followed us on this
platform. We made it up to 487 followers
at one time and we hope we have shared with you some insights on architecture
you may not have seen from other sources.
We encourage anyone who would like to connect with me to do
so on LinkedIn or Google Plus where we share the same posts.
Best wishes to everyone.
