Why Your Business NEEDS To Be on Facebook

Let me show you this one quote:

Collectively, Facebook's users spend -- wait for it -- 700 billion minutes per month on the site, according to company stats. Assuming the site has 500 million active users (they've hit 600 million but haven't updated the time-use stats on their site, so we're working with what we got -- thanks, Zuckerberg), that works out to 23 hours and 20 minutes per person a month -- on average.

That's actually a quote from an article on how to beat your addiction to Facebook but you can plainly see from that statistic why your business needs to be represented on Facebook.. 700 BILLION minutes a month of potential exposure!

That's why..

(article here: How, and why, to do a Facebook detox - CNN.com)

Re: Why Your Business NEEDS To Be on Facebook

I just actually tried my first poll today..

I would suspect it depends on how targeted your audience is..

You'd probably have more luck with a contest of some sort.

Dave,

I agree - but what makes it more complicated for many business folks is the outbreak of new social media tools and new apps within FaceBook.

No question of the strengths of Facebook lie in pure numbers and access to demographics. We have our page: www facebook.com/TheFrameWorkshop

Building People who LIKE (previously known as FANS) is a key, so that any effort of marketing reaches critical mass.

Regards,

John

By definition, a Poll should be a good idea as it can engage interactive responses, which is the key to using Facebook professionally and successfully.

Contest - from what I have read have to be constructed very carefully. The wrong verbiage might get you in trouble with the FB Police.

Re: Why Your Business NEEDS To Be on Facebook

My Facebook biz page is off to a slow start, but I think it is because I need to post more often and publicize the page more. And ideas?

Re: Why Your Business NEEDS To Be on Facebook

Look for related pages on Facebook and join.. get to know as many people as you can who might be targeted. Use Twitter to tweet your message as well.. Facebook and Twitter go well togther..

I use a Facebook bookmarklet to add add links and related news to my pages..

Share Bookmarklet | Facebook

Re: Why Your Business NEEDS To Be on Facebook

I haven't done much with polls. But you do have to be careful to follow Facebook rules.

First Call, be sure to post regularly. Visuals (pics and video) seem to get more attention than regular posts.

Hope everyone has fun on Facebook. Has anyone started using Google Plus for business yet?
