I have spoken to so many small business owners recently who still don't know what Facebook is all about. They don't care about the everyday mundane happenings of someone's life. Facebook is way more then that. Today Facebook is really a meeting place where people can socialize and interact in ways never before possible. People are gaming, chatting, showing off photos, conducting business and market research and so much more.
At one time people spent most of their time on the Internet moving form site to site. Now many people spend most of their time inside Facebook, since so much of what they need can be found there. The bottom-line for businesses; 600 million users in an organized market that cannot be ignored. If you are in business you must take a close look at Facebook it can be an effective way to advertise business to consumers or business-to-business.
The ability to target to your market is key to a successful marketing campaign. Facebook provides unparalleled targeting opportunities. For example let's you say you own a retail store that sells the world's largest greeting cards, over Valentine's Day you can run an ad on Facebook that targets only users that list "engaged" as their relationship status. Where else can you target an ad to millions of people who are engaged to be married?
What if you own a manufacturing company and have struggled to get your products into a targeted company, despite the best efforts of your sales force. For whatever reason you can't get access but you know there are many employees in that target company who would love to have the chance to use your products. Facebook has a targeting tool that lets you target employees of a particular company and reach out directly to them. There are 600 million Facebook users but the only ones that will see you ad are those that work at the companies you target.
The best part of Facebook advertising is that you do not have to pay when people see your ad but only when they click through to your website and view your offer. Online advertising is changing quickly. Millions of people are now spending more time on Facebook then watching television. Learning how to master this new tool is a fundamental part of succeeding in business in the modern age.
