Getting connected through social networking to promote your business by putting up a Facebook page doesn’t necessarily announce to the world that you’re there. Your job now is to promote it. Add a Like Box to your company Web site and encourage customers to follow you on Facebook. If you have a brick-and-mortar business, put up a few well-placed signs encouraging your customers to find you on Facebook. Include a sentence or two about your Facebook page in all your other advertising, like fliers, cards and newspaper ads.

Facebook has an advertising platform and even if your advertising budget is small this is a great way to get your name and product  information out to a target group. Go to www.facebook.com/advertising, click on the Create An Ad button and fill in the text fields with the information you want out there. Even paying once for ads, you are likely to attract new fans who are more than likely to stay with you.

There are other options such as Places and Deals that are good for small businesses because they can encourage prospective or existing customers to visit a company premises through deals. Check them out.

We know time is an important commodity for any business. Contact us for help with all this. For a small fee we can help you set up your  page, links, ads and anything else we think will help to promote your business through the incredible power of websites, blogs and social networking.
