Many of you are probably already members of Facebook, the ever-growing, very popular social media site. By “member,” I mean that you have a personal profile. Millions of people do.
But how many know that businesses can create Facebook pages, which are called fan pages? The main difference is that a profile is personal and, therefore, linked to an individual person, while a fan page is linked to a business or organization. Another major difference is that profiles can only be entirely viewed by people that you “friend,” while fan pages are completely open to anyone on the web.
Why create a fan page for your business or organization? Fan pages are a great way for a business to get online exposure, keep in touch with clients, reach prospects, establish credibility, offer specials, etc. In other words, to develop the KLT (Know, Like & Trust) factor that is so important in doing business today. Fan pages can also increase your search engine optimization (SEO) online and drive traffic to your website or blog.
I created a Facebook fan page for my business, LM Organizing Solutions, LLC. You can visit my fan page at www.facebook.com/
LMOrganizingSolutions. I plan to offer organizing tips, advice, inspiration and motivation! I also plan to “reward” my fans by offering special deals that only they are privy to, such as audio recordings available to fans only, discounts on products and services, periodic giveaways, etc. In addition, I plan to “use” my fans wisely by asking them pointed questions about their favorite organizing products, as well as their ideas for future blog posts, teleclasses, and article topics. It will be a wonderful, two-way relationship! Best yet, we can stay in touch on a daily basis and it is totally interactive!
So head on over to Facebook, check out the LMOS Fan Page, and click on the box on top that says “Become a Fan.” I promise you will be pleased you did so!
