In the last issue we talked about how Facebook can assist you to attract new buyers. For this issue, you will learn how to build a Facebook Fan page for your own business.

Any successful business executes a good amount of social interaction and social media management. You can’t have a thriving online business without having good connection with your target audience and without presence from the vast expanse of the Internet.

A lot of business managers have proven Facebook marketing as one of the most effective ways out there when it comes to generating targeted traffic. Its effect to culture and everyday life is so astounding that simply having a Facebook page can literally make or break any starting company.

As mentioned in the previous issue, a Fan Page is not only a good idea for your business but for your prospective clients as well as it allows them to connect with you easily. When it comes to a business’ credibility, most people would want to see official websites. However, a Facebook account that is professionally managed will suffice if there’s an absence of such.

Talking about credibility, a Fan page is much more effective than a personal account in establishing a sense of official presence to the information you decide to place in your page. A mere profile page is associated with individuals and may not be as believable. Decide on your business name as soon as possible and look for names similar to your own in the same industry as your company.

For example, if your company name is TASTY Ice Cream and you find a page with almost the same name in the same industry, then find a way to differentiate your name. You can use descriptions like TASTY Philadelphia Homemade Ice Cream. This way, you are hitting two birds with one stone. You have just provided your business location. This will help your potential customers find out your geographical background. Not only that, you have also made your name sound different and more interesting than the other.

You can do this after you have created a user name. You will only be able to create a user name once you’ve gained 25 Fans.

Another way to make your business more credible is to provide answers to each necessary question in your profile. An in-depth profile that tells about your background, short history and shop locations is certainly helpful. In addition to being complete, your content must also express some creativity. Most of the time, the profile is the basis whether people want to add you up or not. You should always keep in mind that a successful Facebook Fan Page means having a constant flow of followers online.

When using Facebook for Business, part of building a good brand is by customizing it by adding store photos, product photos, notes and the like. Be careful with what photos to add. If you are posting photos and you don’t want them stolen, place a watermark as a warning. You must remember that you are building a brand here. Anything too personal might make you lose credibility, so do not add photos that might compromise your brand such as personal photos, informal company party documentation, internal problem discussions and the like. Last but not the least, don’t forget to add your contact details as well as addresses.

To get the most out of social networking sites, you can also consider tying up your Facebook fan page with other sites like YouTube, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
