Extend Your Brand name Name Through Social Media Sites
In the last issue we talked about how Facebook can help you attract new customers. In this issue we are going to talk more about creating a Facebook Fan page for your 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 rapport with your target audience and without presence from the vast expanse of the Internet.
A lot of business entrepreneurs 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 we have talked about before, creating a Fan page is a good move for a starting business and even established ones in order for audience to easily relate to them. When credibility is concerned, although most audiences still look for official websites, most will consider a Facebook account to suffice if there's an absence of such.
In addition to that, it's more effective to go for a Fan page rather than a personal profile if you want to establish a sense of authenticity to the information you provide in your page. A profile page is less believable compared to a Fan Page. Reserve your business name right away and search for names similar to your own in the same industry as your own 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've just given out your location right away which helps your audience in determining your geographical background and you've found a way to make your name sound different from the other.
You can do this right after you have created your username. A user name can only be established once your Fan page has 25 fans.
Another good way to gain expertise for your Fan page is to answer all necessary questions in the profile. An in-depth profile that tells about your background, short history and shop locations is certainly helpful. More than being complete, the content must also be creative. More often than not, people will want to be your Fans depending on how your profile is created. It should be your main goal to have a strong following online if you want your Fan Page to bring you more customers.
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. Always keep in mind that you are establishing brand awareness 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. Lastly, don't forget to add your contact numbers, addresses and emails where they can reach you when you're offline.
Besides Facebook, you can also use other social networking sites like YouTube and Twitter to get a more solid online presence.
Make sure you look for your next issue soon. We will discuss about getting people to like your business page on Facebook.
