Promoting Your Business Through Facebook

By James Steele


Today Facebook serves as one of the most important business marketing tools at your disposal. You're missing out on something vital if you don't use it to promote your business. But how do you use it correctly?

Make a Fan Page: It's shocking how hard many businesses find creating connections on Facebook, even if they don't start their own fan page. It's incredibly important that you have your own fan page on Facebook because it will benefit you quite a lot more than you will get from a typical profile. Fan pages aren't limited in the amount of fans that you can have and, in addition to that, you are provided with extensive statistics that illustrate how your fans respond to you and what kind of return you're getting for the investment of your time. After you've set up your fan page, you need to work really hard to build it. It's going to take some time for people to find you and fan you but in the end that time will be time well spent.

Remember to Update Regularly: You have to keep your fans on Facebook consistently updated about your latest ideas, plans, actions, etc. So be sure to create interesting and useful updates to your status on a regular basis; even something very brief is enough to get people's attention. You should also remember to include keywords when you publish updates, because this can help with the SEO of your Facebook page. There are many types of updates you can make, so if you feel stuck, just say something that's on your mind or perhaps request their feedback on some issue pertaining to your niche.

Maintain Professionalism: Ensure that your profile is highly professional at all times. Your business page should not contain any personal photos. It should be your priority to build a business with the brand of who you are and what your company does. To keep posts that are related to reaching your target, make sure all updates are professional. It is so easy to make a bad impression on someone when they find a post offensive in some way. Avoid Sending Too Many Friend Requests: Facebook is very strict when it comes down to spam, which is why you should limit yourself when sending out friend requests from your business account. While you're trying to expand your list of contacts, you should do so in a gradual, natural looking manner. If you're too aggressive in this way, there's a risk that Facebook could delete your account.

In summary, Facebook is the future of online communication and people who use this network are in better contact with each other than they were before they joined. So if you really want to be a part of this revolution and get your business involved, take action now.
