Boost your Social Web Presence with a Professional Facebook Fan Page
If your focus is on increasing your company’s social web presence consider using a Business Facebook Fan Page as one of your options.
With a business page you can connect with prospects, customers and your fan base on one of the largest social networking site and receive highly targeted results for your business. A fan page is an excellent way to socially connect, increase visibility and grow your social web presence.
Unlike Facebook groups which have a followers limit of 5,000 with a Professional Facebook Fan Page there’s no cap on how many fans you can have the fan base is unlimited. A business fan page allows your company or brand to easily reach out and communicate, interact and engage with fans. Any updates you post to your wall which may include links, video, photos or blog post will become viral once posted and appear in your fans Facebook news feed, which are visible to your fans friends as well. Any feedback, whether someone comments or likes an update will appear on your pages wall beneath that post.
Your fans also have the option to subscribe to your page’s RSS feed to receive updates through a feed reader similar to Google reader keeping them updated about what’s happening without visiting your page. A quick and easy way to subscribe by RSS is to visit the fan page and click on the RSS icon located in your browsers URL box, you are given several options to choose from.
You have complete control over your fan page. You can create a custom design so it has the look and feel of a mini website. By adding a custom banner (200px X 600px) for your wall. Custom tabs i.e. Welcome, About Us, Contact whatever information you want to share the sky’s the limit. If you have 25 fans you have the option to create a shorter URL for your page known as a Vanity URL. Check availability by visiting www.facebook.com/username and click on set a user name for your page. If you haven’t reached 25 fans create a memorable web address by adding this application to your page.
Virtually enhance your fan page by adding applications to pull in your blog RSS feed and Twitter updates. And of course let’s not forget Fan Pages are public which mean they are search engine friendly and can be indexed by the major search engines like Google & Yahoo and appear in search engine results pages.
Once your page is up and running getting fans take time, so promote your page on a regular basis by adding relevant updates to keep you fans coming back and also commenting on any feedback from your fans. If you own a website add a fan box to the side bar. You can also add your fan page URL to your business card, just another great way to get the word out.
With all the affordable benefits of a Facebook Fan Page every small business owner should take advantage and have a Facebook Fan Page professionally designed to help boost their social web presence.
