Your Business’ Facebook Page<br />

Facebook Pages are designed for businesses, brands, and other types of<br />

organizations. Facebook only wants you <strong>to</strong> promote <strong>your</strong> business through<br />

<strong>your</strong> Facebook page. That’s why we stress that you should keep business<br />

promotion through <strong>your</strong> personal Facebook profile <strong>to</strong> a minimum.<br />

With Facebook Pages, only people who have Liked <strong>your</strong> Facebook page<br />

will see <strong>your</strong> updates. In a sense, these people have given you permission<br />

<strong>to</strong> advertise <strong>to</strong> them. This is a very key point about online marketing these<br />

days – permission marketing is much more effective than the old days of<br />

spamming everyone under the sun. The good news is that with a Facebook<br />

page, you’re in good company, with over 70 perfect of B2C companies<br />

You will promote on <strong>your</strong> Facebook page exactly like how you do it on<br />

<strong>your</strong> Facebook profile with posts and links <strong>to</strong> products, PR mentions, and<br />

s<strong>to</strong>ries about <strong>your</strong> business. However, a better way <strong>to</strong> get deeper engagement<br />

on Facebook is <strong>to</strong> post updates on things that are not directly related <strong>to</strong><br />

purchasing one of <strong>your</strong> products.<br />
