Business Tip of the Week
3 Reasons To Be Cautious When Launching A Facebook Page For Your Business
1) If your Facebook friends are many, you could run into difficulties when "recommending" them to like your business page. If Facebook questions how well you know these people, a red flag will be raised - possibly setting the stage for being barred from the social media site. 2) Using a personal page as though it were a business page has its limitations. For example, an application such as the ability to pre-schedule posts is not available on a personal page. 3) If your ambition is to continually build the number of friends on the page, along with activity, remember: Facebook, at least for now, will limit you to 5,000 friends. This is not an issue with the number of "Likes" on a Facebook business page. * This tip was submitted by Bart Horowitz, President of Relevant Public Relations, LLC. For more information, call Relevant PR at 718-682-1509.* ___________________________________________________________________________________________________
