10 Reasons to be Active on Facebook
1) Meet your peers. Facebook is not just for
college kids anymore.
2) Find business contacts. Not only are your
friends on Facebook, so are your prospects,
your customers, and, of course, your
competitors. You need to be on too.
3) Instant gate opener. You can easily begin a
dialog with highly successful—even
famous—people who were previously
otherwise unreachable.
4) Build relationships. By engaging in
conversations with your prospects and
customers, you can better adapt your
marketing and business services to meet their
needs.
5) Raise visibility. By consistently showing up,
posting relevant information, and being a
thought leader, you can increase visibility
and credibility as an expert in your area.
6) Develop your personal brand. You can reveal as
much or as little about yourself as you wish,
allowing you to personalize your brand.
7) Target your niche. Users volunteer vast amounts of
information about themselves that you can readily
access. These kinds of demographics,
psychographics, and technographics would
previously have cost fortunes to access. Author, John
Battelle, calls Facebook a ―database of intentions.‖
8) Get rapid top Google placement. Create a Page
for your business and ‗‗push‖ information to your
―fans.‖
9) Place targeted ads. With Facebook Social Ads, you
can test out extremely targeted advertising for
minimal cost.
10) No cost marketing. Aside from paid ads, Facebook
is totally free to use and with regular activity you‘ll
end up with more traffic, more subscribers, and
more paying clients.

Accused of hyping his
own company's stock
and running down rivals.

Learn to Listen
Where are your customers online/offline?
Blogs, Social media tools (e.g. LinkedIn Answers), Discussion Forums, Twitter, etc…/Events
Monitor these conversations:
Find your brand using Google Alerts, Keotag.com, Boardreader.com and Technorati.com
Use a central tool to track the different conversations happening around your company. Most online conversations are RSS enabled, barring a few Yahoo! groups that don’t support RSS. Use a RSS reader (e.g. Bloglines.com) to gather all these conversations into a central repository and create a folder that you check on a daily basis.
For Example: Best-in-class organizations pursue social media listening as a daily
discipline and have a response strategy to engage in the conversation if necessary.

Measure Your Success Online
The value of social media presence can be calculated by simple methods:
ReachHow many people are influenced by our social & digital media efforts?
AcquisitionHow much of their attention have we acquired through connections, website visits, and time spent engaging with us?
ConversionHow many have we ‘converted’ toward the ultimate goal (subscription, sales, leads, registrations, evangelists, etc.)?
RetentionAre we reducing customer churn, lowering our overall cost to serve, increasing the purchase value/volume/frequency, and growing the lifetime value of our customer base?

“Every brand needs to be relevant and part
of a community. They need to open a
dialogue with their consumers, but they also
need to be prepared for what could be
negative feedback and I don’t think all
marketers are ready for that.”
