Have you wondered how to harness the Social Networking site Facebook for business? You’re in luck - you can set up a facebook fan page in minutes and it’s quick, free and easy to do.
You’ll need:
- information about your business or service
- web ready logo (.jpg or .gif will work best)
- photos if you have them - these can always be added later
You can create your Facebook Page, by clicking here and filling out the information.
If you don’t already have a Facebook Account, you’ll be asked to create one. This can be your individual information, this is separate from the Facebook Page.
Here is an example of the Facebook Page I created for CRAVE Party Chicago
Once you’ve created the Page, you can create events and invites, see the upcoming CRAVE Summer Party
So, what are the advantages of your business being on Facebook you ask?
Facebook Pages are public, people don’t need to login to see them but they are indexed by the search engines so this should help increase your visibility.
You can reach new markets and interested individuals by generating “fans” on your Facebook Page. Each time someone signs up as a fan of your business - it’s posted on their page, exposing their friends and visitors to your business. You can even communicate directly with all of your fans at one time by sending them “updates.” Plus - when you set up an event you can invite people on Facebook who in turn can send the invite on to others - making it a great resource for viral marketing.
It’s quick and easy to use and best of all free. I highly recommend it.
facebook can be an excellent source to reach new markets
