By increasing your company's facebook followers, you multiply the opportunities that potential customers will read some relevant information coming from you that may help them in their problems and therefore earn their business. One way to do that is having a facebook "like" or follow button on every page. Another really good way to get followers is to ask, you have 50% more chance of getting someone to follow you when you ask.
