    Is Your Business Maximizing Facebook?

    by Ruth M. Shipley / August 2, 2011

    social media reviewsFacebook recently announced more than 750 million active users worldwide. That's ACTIVE users. Half use Facebook several times a day. Plus, 75% of marketers plan to increase their use of Facebook in 2011!

    So let me ask you a question. Is your business leveraging the power of Facebook?

    Keep reading to learn what's changed with Facebook and to find out about a special event (from Social Media Examiner) just for businesses.

    How Has Facebook Changed?

    Facebook has changed a lot in the previous months—for example:

    • Tabs are gone.
    • Static FBML has been phased out.
    • Users can masquerade as a page.

    If a user can masquerade as a page, one of your competitors can leave a comment on your pages, promoting their page (brand) to your users. Get ready for a new kind of spam!

    But there are many positive changes as well.

    • Pages have been redesigned to be cleaner and less cluttered.
    • You have more control over your news feed.
    • You can get an email when anyone comments on your pages.
    • iFrame apps have replaced Static FBML.
    • You can offer deals to people checking in on a mobile device.

    And did you know that you can make Skype calls from Facebook? Facebook is doing everything it can to become a one-stop source for people's communication needs. And this is precisely why it's so important for businesses.

    How to Master Facebook for Business

    If you'd like to learn how to take your business experience on Facebook to the next level, check out our latest Facebook Success Summit.

    Watch this quick overview.

    For much less than the cost of an in-person conference, you'll learn from 19 of the world's most respected Facebook experts in the privacy of your own office or home. They'll give you the latest tips and techniques for using Facebook to boost your sales.

    Discover Proven Marketing Strategies and Tips

    Want to go even deeper with your marketing? Check out the Social Media Marketing Podcast! Publishing weekly since 2012, the Social Media Marketing Podcast helps you navigate the constantly changing marketing jungle, with expert interviews from marketing pros.

    But don’t let the name fool you. This show is about a lot more than just social media marketing. With over 600 episodes and millions of downloads each year, this show has been a trusted source for marketers for well over a decade.

    CHECK OUT THE SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING PODCAST NOW

    Why is this important? Because many people prefer to do business with companies that have a strong social media presence. They prefer to do business with people they know, like and trust. And using Facebook is the fastest way to create those kinds of relationships.

    Our summits not only attract the best speakers, they also attract the best attendees. Employees from General Mills, Microsoft, Xerox, Sears, Disney, CNN and thousands of small businesses have attended our previous online conferences.

    So if you sign up, you know you'll be in good company. And 96% of the people who attended last year's Facebook summit said they would attend again.
