FACEBOOK MARKETING – Should you do it?

How to use facebook in your marketing mix…

If you’ve got a business and you’re not on Facebook then act fast and get yourself on there now!

Facebook should be part of your overall social media marketing plan. It’s not only a good medium to connect with friends, business associates and colleagues but it also makes you a little more “human” in a virtual world!

Think about what the world will be like in 5 years time…

Do you think you’ll still be searching Google 5.0 or something like that? A medium that guesses what websites are te best for certain search terms…

Or do you think you’ll be sending a message out to your facebook friends asking “Hey guys, I’m looking for a new graphic designer to design some new brochures – do you know of anyone?”

Now which results will you believe?

The search engines? Or your friend?

So how do you build a facebook friend list?

If I were you I would ask friends of friends each day and say something like:

“Hi Jo, James Junker is a mutual friend of ours and I see you are into stamp collecting too. This is an area I am very passionate about. Let’s hook up”

After you have got a “YES” send them another email and give them something for free. This could be a free report, a free course or a subscription to your weekly tips newsletter. It’s a good way to build up an email list too but ask them to sign up.

In summary…

Long gone are the days when you would focus on one marketing medium. Social marketing and in-particular, facebook marketing will become more and more popular because it is bringing the networking meeting and networking events into the new millennium without you having to leave your home!

Happy Facebook Marketing!
