Using FaceBook for Business

Some case studies, suggestions and inspiration

 
LMDD on FaceBook 
 
The number one question I get these days, both during my presentations and when speaking with clients is, "how can I use Facebook for my business?"  Unlike Twitter, where people often say that they don't quite understand what it is or how to use it, people already know, and in many cases, are already ON FaceBook. And most have heard stories of how someone they know is making tons of money there.  What they want is advice on how to set up THEIR business on FB. 
 
FaceBook Business Pages can be used in a wide variety of ways - they can be forums or just a place to share promotions and coupons, a place for games or a destination to shop.  Defining your goals and designing your page to meet them is key! 
 
To address this issue, I will be offering an advanced webinar (see sidebar on the left for details) filled with ideas and suggestions on  How to use a FaceBook Business Page to Grow YOUR Business.  We will visit a number of 'successful' pages for businesses of all sizes - companies that are using them as a resource, others that have created games to entertain, brands that are using them purely for promotion and others that are using them for e-commerce.  We will also discuss how you can create and manage a plan a to use FaceBook to grow YOUR business.  See sidebar at lower left for more info or click HERE to register.
 
And if you would like a personalized session, geared just to your industry and your business needs, please let me know - I would be happy to set up a time to work with you directly!
