There are so many people that I know that run a business on the web. Back when I started, it was a rarity. Now it is expected. One of the cool things that has been changing over the past few years is the addition of social media to run and advertise your business. Most of the large corporations have a nice business Facebook page design that really shows off their brand with beautiful graphics and images. If you are a small business and have yet to add a facebook presence to your marketing methods, here are a few reasons you should look at it for this coming year.
One good reason is that studies have shown that consumers are enjoying engaging with their brands that they buy from. It makes them more personable and brings them to the place where moms, dads and your future consumers hang out. Being able to chit chat with a brand and feel engaged is a big plus.
Another great reason is that in order to grow your presence on Facebook and be engaging with your consumer, you need the format in which to do it. Up until now, the customer has only been asked to buy your product on TV, Radio, at the store or as they surf the web. With a Facebook Business Page, that customer and future customer can see what you are about, check out your products, ask questions and then hopefully convert into a buyer.
A Third reason is that a lot of companies are finding that giving back and creating excitement for their brand is a fun process. Many have been using contests to grow the brand, their mailing lists and their numbers with Facebook apps that allow them to capture vital information. There are businesses that offer these apps for your page at very reasonable pricing and work with your page design too. These contests are proving to be a huge plus for the brands and the followers love them too. Everyone loves to try and win.
These are 3 great reasons a company needs to have a facebook business page design and a marketing plan that include some form of social media. Your customers and future customers want to reach out and engage and so can you.
