How To Do It – Facebook Can Help You Build Your Business
If you don’t already have a Facebook page for your business then now’s the time to get started!
Social networking has taken the world by storm providing businesses with new ways of reaching and advertising to their target audience. Facebook pages are increasingly becoming an essential marketing and communication tool for businesses. It’s never been easier to interact with your community, broadcast timely information and attract new customers.
Here are some quick facts about Facebook:
- Facebook already has over 500 million users. If Facebook was a country, it would be the world’s third biggest nation.
- Over 8 million Malaysia are Facebook users and they’re not all teenagers – around ¼ are over 50 years old
- The average Facebook user has 130 friends
- There are over 3 million active Pages on Facebook, and every day, 20 million people ‘like’ these Pages.
So how can you use Facebook to spread the news about your business? Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your Facebook page:
- Secure your very own Facebook username and make your Facebook ‘vanity’ url short and memorable. You can only select a username for your page once, so make sure you select your username carefully! Choose a name that will be suitable for publishing on marketing materials. http://www.facebook.com/arazak.ngah
- Add your Facebook link to your email signature, email newsletters and marketing materials and give people good reasons to become fans. The promise of free Facebook giveaways, Facebook only competitions, and pre-launch notifications of new products and services are all good incentives to draw people in.
- Update your Facebook page often. Facebook is all about community so focus on building a good relationship with your followers. Don’t spam your audience with ads and self promotion but engage them with tips, advice and links that are of value to them. Each time someone ‘likes’ or comments on your Facebook updates, their Facebook friends see it which exponentially increases your exposure.
- Run Facebook competitions and give people a reason for telling the world what they like you. Ask people to post reviews on a product or service in order to win a prize, or give them incentives like discount coupons or free products for posting a link about your page to their friends. Anything that gets your customers talking will help attract new customers.
- Post testimonials on your Facebook page or better yet, ask your customers to post their testimonials directly on your Facebook page. Testimonials are a great way of building credibility and trust so make sure everyone gets to hear about it when someone says something nice about you!
- Add a Facebook social plugin to your website and allow people to ‘like’ your pages and share them with their friends. Each time a Facebook user visits your site and clicks on it, a link to your page gets added to their activity stream which is then displayed to all of their friends who can then click on the link and be led to your page. You may need your web developer to help you insert this on your website.
