Why Use Facebook

•Companies are Leveraging Facebook for: Branding - Facebook can be a great resource for generating brand awareness, as it has become popular amongst various age demographics and can be a great interception point for building your relationship with you consumers and prospects.

Customer Engagement - Using Facebook applications can be a great way for communicating promotions, contest and events. Again it is another interception point that can be leveraged to entice consumer engagement with your brand, your products or your service.

Drive Web Traffic - Facebook can act as a portal point for driving traffic to your company website and other online properties.

Why Use Facebook

•

Reputation Management - Facebook can be a useful tool for seeing what users are saying about your company and brand. In addition your Facebook profile can now be indexed in the search results and as a result can provide another favorable listing in the organic search results of the engines.

New Customer Acquisition - Facebook provides an opportunity to find consumers you may have not otherwise discovered.

Lead Generation - Similar to the previous point is that Facebook can act as another potential lead generation tool that can be used to qualify leads. Reviewing potential prospects' profiles may help you build a relationship with your prospects and aid in the lead generation qualifying process.

Client Retention - Provides another potential interception point to build a relationship with your customers.

Profile vs Fan Page

•

Facebook profiles are for people!

Fan Pages are for businesses!

Profile vs Fan Page

People vs Business Profiles are intended for people, not businesses. It’s actually against the Facebook terms to use a profile for a business. If the Facebook finds your profile set up like this, it’s possible they may delete the entire profile.

SEO Your Facebook Fan Page can be a part of your Search Engine Optimization strategy. Why is that, you ask? It’s because Fan pages are indexed by search engines. Profiles are not!

Profile vs Fan Page

Fans vs. Friends Fan Pages can have an unlimited number of fans. Profiles can only have 5,000 friends. It only makes sense to choose the option that allows you to have more people for your business.

One profile – many Fan Pages You can have multiple fan pages, but only one personal profile. This is important for people who want to promote different businesses or groups.
