What is all the Fuss About Facebook?
Ok, so what IS Facebook, first of all?
To put it in simple terms, Facebook is a social media site that allows individuals to interact with each other by sharing photos, videos, messages and playing online games, amongst other things.
Facebook has grown very quickly and continues to grow at a rapid rate even today.
Did you know that by 2010 Gen Y will outnumber the Baby Boomers and that a whopping 96% of them have joined a social network, such as Facebook or Myspace or Twitter?
Did you know it took around 38 years for radio to reach 50 million users?
But it took only NINE MONTHS for Facebook to add 100 MILLION USERS!!!
There are so many users of Facebook that if it were a country, it’d be the world’s fourth largest, after China, India and the US! Now that’s a pretty big potential audience huh?
Now consider this…
What if you were to deliver an outstanding service to somebody who happened to be a Facebook user? What if your service was so absolutely fabulous that they wanted to tell everyone they knew about it?
Through what means do you think they’ll do it?
Remember though – if you give them terrible service, the news will travel a lot faster!
Facebook also allows you to create your own "Fan page" for your business. It’s just another way in which you can post updates about your business or upcoming specials, and you can even link your fan page to Twitter, so your twitter status is updated automatically.
The beauty of using Facebook for your business is that you are allowing your potential customers to see the "personal" side of you – you’re giving yourself a face and a name, and this creates trust.
If they trust you, then they’re more likely to buy from you.
If you haven’t set up your own Facebook account yet, then what are you waiting for??!!
