Use Facebook to recognize your agency successes

Contributed by: Dave Konig

When someone in your agency achieves a major success, use Facebook to give them recognition and praise. Upload their picture to your agency's page and tag the photo. Their family and friends will see the photo in their newsfeeds and the photo will show up on their profile page, spreading the positive news beyond your agency to people who have an interest in what you do.
