You stated that Facebook has 1.49 million members worldwide, yet I believe you meant to say 1.49 Billion. Nevertheless, that’s a grossly exaggerated number for purposes of marketing. The reason I say this is because I any marketing you want to do is going to be targeted to a specific demographic(obviously).
Furthermore, as of now, there are 655 million Mobile ONLY Facebook (http://www.statista.com/statistics/281600/number-of-mobile-only-facebook-users/)
users, which reduces your ability to market even more.
Finally, every single male that I know in the IT profession – every single one – refuses to use Facebook because of various reasons. This, of course, is my own personal experience, but it seems that Facebook isn’t always the best choice to market all the time.

Thanks for your comment, Brody. Although there are only 655 million mobile-only Facebook users, Statista shows that the number of mobile-only users has only been increasing. Facebook has lots of great offerings to allow you to create Facebook ads targeted to mobile only, which is great, especially when the number of mobile users are continuously increasing.
Also, I definitely agree that Facebook isn’t for everyone and many people have moved to other social platforms. Therefore, I wouldn’t recommend a company solely doing their advertising Facebook, but focusing on other mediums as well, such as Google, Bing, or PPC.
