Facebook E Marketing Policy: How to Start a Fan Page on Facebook


Now recently Facebook passed the magnificent goal of hitting over 500 Million users. According to Nielsen Wire, the usual amount of time per person spent per month on Facebook is over 7 hours. This amount continues to raise. really, research also suggests that people spend three times more time on Facebook than they do Google. What does this indicate for your business? Obviously, that if you are not on Facebook, you need to be. What are you waiting for? You want to have your own Facebook e Marketing strategy in place by having your own business fan page. The point of this article is to explain to you how to start a fan page on Facebook.
Actually starting a fan page on Facebook is rather easy. But before, I begin to even explain to you the method. I want you to do something very serious, which is called benchmarking. By doing some study on what your competitors are doing on Facebook and their Facebook Fan Pages, you will be extra prepared and well equipped to know what to do with your business’s page. Look at their page and observe what type of comments are they posting to their wall, what type of images, videos, and discussions are they posting. perform they sell any products on their page? Do they have a opt in box for their fans to subscribe to for a free newsletter? Do they have a modified welcome tab? All of these are great things to have on a Facebook Fan Page and are important in knowing whether or not your competitors have and how they show them.
For your Facebook e Marketing policy, consider whether or not you want your business page tied into your personal profile. You can set up a fan page on Facebook off of your personal profile or you can have totally exclusive from your personal profile. It is really up to you as well as what type of business you have. For example, many sole proprietors will have a page that starts off of their special profile, because they are their brand and they want their fans to know what goes on in their personal lives. This makes them make that trust factor with others. However, a larger corporation like Target would not want to be started off of their CEOs main personal profile. This would not look very great . And, there is no reason why any person would need to know what is going on in the personal life of the CEO in order for them to shop at Target.
