Using Facebook Fan Pages To Market Your Business

We have heard all the hype about Facebook but one thing every business should take seriously is setting up a Facebook fan page for their business.  It took me a while to realize this and I have since corrected my ways.

A very brief history - As a member of Facebook and a fan of a few pages it seemed like a fun way to keep tabs on various companies and causes.  It didn't occur to me at the time to set up a business page for Trump University.  I didn't see the ROI at the time.  After reading more about fan pages, understanding their place in the social media world and search marketing it was time to set Trump U up with a fan page. 

Why create a fan page?  Here are a few reasons:

1. Google finds the pages (and in case that is not enough here are a few more reasons...)
2. There is hype around Facebook for a reason. Lots and lots of people use the platform so it can't hurt to be where all the action is taken place.
3. It is a great way to create a two way communication channel with your clients and potential clients.
4. A fan page is a fun way to show your corporate personality.

Fast forward to Jan 09. I took about 30 minutes and set up this page:

In case you missed the memo... social media works!
