How many Facebook Groups are you a member of?
You can find Facebook Groups for everything. There are some for cheap meal ideas, Netflix recommendations and motivational quotes. You can even join a Facebook Group where people share the view from their windows.
But what Facebook Groups have you joined as a retailer? There are plenty of pages to like that can provide you with expert tips and advice on how to grow your business. But here are six that you should put at the top of your priority list.
