These are some good tips. I particularly like the one about running some sort of competition on your Facebook page as it has the potential to attract a great number of fans to your page. This in turn means more and more people will find out about your products or services. So it’s sort of a win-win situation. Facebook fan pages are extremely vital for business today because they help in increasing brand recognition and awareness. I recently read somewhere that Starbucks has around 12 million fans on its Facebook page, which is a lot more than the number of users on its own brand website!

I think the first point in this article is the most powerful…most businesses post to their new social media pages consistently for a couple of weeks and then other priorities take over and the page goes dormant. As a consumer, I certainly won’t connect with a page that I don’t expect will be consistently updated with valuable information (has to be valuable.)

Secondarily, as a consumer if I see a social media badge on your site and head to your fan page, only to find it has been abandoned it raises some basic questions about your commitment and follow through. It wouldn’t stop me from working with you, but would concern me a bit.

I think social media, will simply be an ante to be in the game in the coming years (as opposed to being viewed as an assertive marketing tactic.)

I agree with you for the most part. I never saw the appeal of it. However with the way things are, having a presence on the social sites is almost required.

Thanks for the comment Amanda. I agree. People will totally interact with your Facebook fan page if it is interesting and has a lot of relevant content.

Facebook landing pages produces results only when stuffed with things people are interested about. Thus, social media networks is not a waste of time, it just needs some careful thought and planning by targeting the right audience and not everyone else on there.

I think you are right. There is that fine line of “wasting” and utilizing a huge marketing opportunity. Facebook is so big it is hard not to take notice and participate.

I hate to be ‘one of the detractors’ but I really think social media is overrated. Yes, it’s great that social media advertising can be targeted to a specific group of people, but it is mostly going to be attracting the people who spend their lives on facebook – not the crowd that most B2B firms want to spend money attracting.

Good FBML or the landing page design attracts more people. Of course, we should always see to it that our landing page design are always related to the fan page or business niche.
