There is a lot you can do with a business page on Facebook and it benefits you and your business in a variety of different ways.

With that said, it is important to have a Facebook page that is user-friendly, uncluttered and informational. Your business page should not be used to solely spam your fans and followers! It needs to “offer value” to your customers and potential customers, and updated frequently with new content.

When it comes to page design and layout, it is best to hire a professional, so that you get that customized-branding look. Once the page has been set up, you can opt to run the page yourself or outsource that management to a social media branding expert for an affordable price. (Many companies outsource this management, to free themselves up for more important business tasks).

Getting your business on Facebook is one of the most important online branding and marketing tasks that you need RIGHT NOW for your business. Having a business Facebook page is a great way to market your business to current customers and to potential new ones and do so, for a very small investment.

So, what are you waiting for? If you are not on Facebook, now is the time to join!

ID Badgeholders – A Sound Business Investment

When people typically think about investing in badgeholders they often brush it off as an unnecessary business expense. However, companies large and small, including those who run professional blogging businesses, should invest in several identification “ID”  badge holders.

Typically business names or company ID’s are printed on paper or plastic identification cards. These cards go through a lot of wear and tear quite easily, and are often replaced within weeks. Stringing the ID cards onto badge holders keeps them safer and more protected. It’s a lot harder to machine wash an identification card if it’s attached to a badge holder and lanyard!

We all lead very busy lives and we often toss our identification cards and name cards down onto tabletops, countertops, a desk or even in our briefcase or handbag. If your ID card is attached to a badge holder, you can find your identification card quicker and easier.

When meeting new people (clients, customers and business associates), it is easier for new people to identify you when you have your ID name card hanging around your neck on a colorful lanyard. Having a professional badge holder attached to that lanyard makes easy identification possible.

Just having your ID card or business identification card in a badge holder lets others know that you are a real professional, running a professional business.  Digging through your pockets, briefcase or handbag to look for your identification card when needed is time-consuming and sets forth an unprofessional appearance.

Many people think that badge holders are expensive and that you need to order them in large bulk quantities. That is simply not true and you can get smaller quantities to suit your business’s needs and at varying affordable price points. Furthermore, you can get the holders in various shapes and styles to match your business theme which really gives you a customized professional look.

These days with impersonation and fraud running rampant, it is important to identify yourself and your company immediately to those you come into contact with. Having your business ID card on display at all times, makes this a worthy business investment.
