The social networking sites online today are huge, Facebook, Twitter, Bebo to name but a few, they are a mysterious addiction in many teenagers lives and a load of adults too but also are they a powerful business tool as well. I will touch lightly on the Facebook phenonmenon but Social Networking deserves e a series of blogs which will come in weeks ahead.I recently read an interesting story about a woman promoting her company online via facebook, posting her business on her profile and increasing her traffic for her beauty salon. A number of applications on facebook can improve your businesses marketing and bring the world to you. Some of these are :
Testimonials >> allowing you to share your success on your profile of references from customers raving about your products and services.
Business Cards >> allowing you to post your business card on your profile, networking with potential customers and businesses aiding your development, the application is like an email message signature.
What I do >> promoting services and products amongst your network, and listing in the business directory. A powerful tool to network what you are about.
This is merely a few of the applications that businesses may use to go online and global, be aware though its not a free service as most would fall into the trap of thinking. But incorporated into a marketing budget it can be a powerful strategy to consider. Actually my Facebook knowledge was limited on starting this blog, but now I'm sure of its powerful status amongst marketing tools for businesses. Linking it to your website encouraging traffic to your site and improving search engine rankings for both your site and your Facebook business page. Take a look at it, its worth consideration especially if your aim is going global with your products and services.
