Facebook pages offer you the following benefits:
1. Direct interactivity with your current and future customers
2. Instant placement of new happenings within your business
3. Instant sharing of news about your business
4. Instant posting of specials etc.
However, having a run of the mill page will not benefit you or your business at all. Customers want to see what they are letting themselves in for. By just offering
them the default ‘wall', ‘info', ‘discussion' and ‘photos' tab your business page will be just as mediocre as the thousands of other pages. Your business must stand
out from the crowd.
Two functional ways to revamp your business page:

Flash application:
Adding a flash application to your business page is a great way of sharing everything you need to share in an attractive way. This way you can build your brand even
on Facebook!
You can add your business logo, photos in a slide show and even product information.
Contact Forms:
Have you always wished there was a way for your customers to contact you directly from your page? This is it. You can add a contact form to your page by using the
FBML application of Facebook.
This way your customer can contact you directly and the beauty of this is that you receive the questions and messages straight to your mailbox.
Free is a very persuasive word which as a small business; is a no brainer when it relates to advertising. Creating a Facebook business page is great way in adding to
the overall strategy of your online presence and is a great tool in promoting your website while connecting directly to your customer base. Facebook boasts 300 million
active users worldwide and is growing every day. Within this article, you will find the necessary steps to get your business profile up and running in very little
time.
1. A business page needs to be separate from your personal profile. On the Facebook homepage, right below the sign up section is a link that says, “Create a Page
for a celebrity, band, or business.” Click the link and follow the instructions to set up your profile.
2. Populate your about page by adding the details of company such as address, phone, website, description, and hours. You will also notice there are other tabs at
your disposal but for now stick, with the basics. Be sure to add some related photos as well, visual elements will add to the interest.
3. Selecting the info tab as your default page is the best choice for a business. This promotes information directly related to your company when an individual who
is not a fan of your business lands on your profile.
4. Modify your privacy setting to ensure that your profile is publicly available as this is the main reason for the development of the profile. You can still limit
certain sections to fans only but make sure you do not block the basic information about your company.
5. Find fans by starting with your friends and family. Even if they do not have Facebook, you can send invitations to their email encouraging them to sign up. As
word spreads, your business will be recommended to your fans’ networks.
