Here are my Top 5 Reasons to have a Facebook Page
1. A Facebook Page is a powerful way to create viral marketing.
The more relevant content you bring to you page allows users to want to come back for more. Then, they tell their friends and so on. It moves very quickly once you get started. Also, if your Facebook Page is optimized properly, it can get indexed by Google, which means increase internet exposure.
2. You can send updates to all of your fans
It’s like sending a broadcast from If you have something to say, you can send the message to all of your fans. It’s a nice way of building a database of interested users. Send messages about new products, updated website, etc.
3. You can promote current specials or projects real-time
This saves time and money from updating your website. Just be sure to have a Facebook Page link on the front page of your main website. You also want to promote on any print material suggesting people to “like” your Facebook Page.
4. You control the page.
Making the page before a Fan or a competitor is critical. You want to be able to send the messages, edit or remove sections, and control the information to an extent.
5. It’s Free (or a small investment) and simple!
It takes under 5 minutes to set up a Facebook Page. You just need to upload a logo, put in some general information and get started. Why do I say small investment? If you want to do a bit more than basic with special graphics, html, specialized tabs, etc. then it might take a small investment to get help with getting this set up. This is something I have done for numerous businesses if you have an interest just visit the “My Story” tab on this website.
