FaceBook

Regardless of what you business you are in, you need to have your message in front of people where ever they are. Facebook is a “place” where people ‘hang out’ and not having a presence there means that you may be leaving money on the table for your business. Why? Sheer numbers give us more than a clue about that as Facebook boasts over 600 million users as of the beginning of 2011. This is about double the size of the entire United States population. That means that it is very likely that either your customers, or people who know your customers. are currently Facebook users.

What you may find even more interesting than the number of Facebook users, is the amount of time (on average) these users spend on Facebook. In fact, the average person in the US with a Facebook account spends at least 7 hours and 46 minutes every month, which comes to about 15.5 minutes per day according to Mashable.Com. That 15.5 spent on Facebook every day is about 4 times on average the amount of time users spend on search engines like Google.

If you understand the scale of the numbers:

1) Twice the size of the United States Population

2) 16 minutes every single day

…you will start to understand how big Facebook really is. Just as it is common now to expect that a business will have its own website, no matter how big or small that company is; it is getting to be just as common for people to expect a business or company to have its very own Facebook Fan Page. And while there are some ‘trends’ that you can ignore in order to stay focused on the things that make you money, having a presence on Facebook is not one of those things.

Experienced Facebook users will find creating their own Fan page straightforward; however, those that aren’t very experienced may find the creation of one pretty challenging. Whether or not it is something that you do every day, there are advantages in setting it up correctly to compliment your website and any other online presence that you have.

When the set up is done correctly, people who like your product will get notice of new things that you are doing and sales that you may be having. A Facebook Fan page can also give you a way to get your customers to spread the word about the good things you are doing in your business, as they are happening. In effect, it allows you to have the kind of business that can be talked about using word of mouth, while at the same time the business can be known all over the world.
