Advertising With Facebook Page For Business

Gone are the days of paper brochures, advertising and media to promote a business. At one time, the way to have a viable business was to network with others, shake hands and spread the word with others. Sharing business contacts was a strong way to promote a business. Today, the world is different. Viral contact is the current method of promotion. The world of business has discovered Facebook and there is no turning back. Facebook pages are critical to success and most businesses have one. The promotion concept of Facebook works in many ways.

For instance, Each American views around 500 adverts in a day on average. This means the level of appeal of the brand will play a huge role in competition among other sellers within the same market. Facebook page for business changes all that since it enhances identity and unity. Those conversant with Coca Cola for instance can testify the large-scale tactics that it applies instead of using Facebook page for business to attain its clients’ loyalty.

Brand recognition for Coke begins with a billboard or a case of soda sitting on a shelf not a Facebook page for business. Brand loyalty begins with promotions like commercialsthe polar bears for Coke won millions of adoring customers. Most importantly, being part of a bigger mission with Coke secures devotion to its brand over any other company that does not do as much good. Coke gives back to the community to develop school sports, education, and arts in the community. Consumers like to know they support a brand that supports them.

The Facebook page for business is an effectively proven and inexpensive way to accomplish these goals. Through the use of a Facebook page for business clients are granted the opportunity to be the companys friend. Customers who are friends with a company in turn feel a sense of community without the community investing in the literal physical community. Those company friends on the Facebook page for business then feel like they contribute to the mission. Anyone who “likes” the Facebook page for business is then privy to the private details of the companys happenings be it a community activity, a new ad campaign or a brand new sales campaign. It also provides these potential customers with a place to be heard.

While Coca Cola may be big and have money to invest heavily in the economy, most companies do not have capital to invest in more than one effort in their local community. A Facebook page for business is advantageous for small companies that cannot afford making commercials and mass ad campaigns. These smaller companies build a following with a Facebook page for business operations. Many studies in the modern corporate environment indicate that the intimate friending of individuals with local businesses has a lasting impact on the sales and longevity of that business and the Facebook page for business is the best way to build friends.

People feel obligated to step in and help a company that struggles if they identify that company as part of their personal life because of a Facebook page for business. That is how the Facebook page for business works best. When clients have a personal investment in a company because of their Facebook page for business, the company will succeed at branding. As those first fans of the page begin to connect with new friends, they carry with them the Facebook page for business that they enjoy. This is known as viral advertisement. It is friends sharing with friends about the Facebook page for business that they enjoy. It is so effective that many companies need little if any extra ad campaigns.

Free Downloadable Guide to Social Media Available on LocalHood Marketing's Fan Page


Toronto, Ontario, Canada (PRWEB) October 05, 2011

LocalHood Marketing has created a new fan page on Facebook.com and they are rewarding fans of the page with a free downloadable guide to social media marketing. The guide is entitled “Social Media Profits …for your local business.”

Information about social media marketing is ubiquitous on the web and often confusing and overwhelming for a small business to implement. The Social Media Profits guide claims to offer a simple system to help local businesses create a manageable social media plan in just 15 minutes a day.

The guide discusses 8 social media sites that a local business should be aware of. To prevent overwhelm, a marketer is encouraged to focus their attention and planning on three networks in particular.

An excerpt from the guide reads; Three networks above all others constitute the “Big Three”. Unless your audience absolutely does not hang out there, it’s best to sign up for and create a presence on all three… You don’t even have to visit all three individually to post on them (more on that later). You can literally publish content to all three networks with one click, in less than a minute or two.

The guide claims that there are two trends driving the phenomenon of social search. The first is the massive increase in mobile use. The second is an increasing reliance on word of mouth recommendation and the breakdown of privacy barriers on the net. An excerpt from the guide reads; People are now used to living their lives publicly, and don’t hesitate to make themselves heard.

The guide goes on to explain why planning is key to social networking success and where a local business should focus its attention for maximum results. There is a summary intended to help a reader understand what the top 3 social networking platforms are and their importance in the local business marketing mix.

Information in the guide also points out some pit falls to avoid citing one critical mistake it claims marketers make in social media and how they can avoid it. It discusses what it claims are the three fatal flaws that derail some social media marketing plans before they even get started.

To claim the guide, a visitor to the LocalHood Marketing Fan Page just needs to like the page while they’re logged in to their Facebook account. A second page will then display allowing the visitor to unlock the download. The visitor can choose to share the report or not. Since the point of social networking is sharing, its expected that most visitors will want to share the guide with their friends and followers by clicking a share button on the page.
