A Facebook Fan Page Is Vital To Your Online Business Presence

February 17, 2010 By Tim Somers Leave a Comment

A study has been released stating that Facebook has beat out Google as the top source of traffic for major portals like Yahoo, MSN and AOL.  15% of traffic to these sites came from Facebook and MySpace, of which 13% came from Facebook alone.  This brings up a question; does your business really need a website or simply a Facebook Fan Page?

Although I believe you still need both, the future may steer many smaller to mid-sized businesses away from building expensive flashy websites.  If this trend continues the writing may be on the wall, Facebook makes it very easy and cost effective (Free) to get your business online in a matter of minutes.

Facebook recently released some staggering statistics that should make you take notice and get your Facebook Business Fan Page up and running as soon as possible.

– More than 400 million active users
– 50% of our active users log on to Facebook in any given day
– More than 35 million users update their status each day

  (web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photo albums, etc.) shared each week
– More than 3.5 million events created each month

– More than 20 million people become fans of Pages each day

– More than 250 applications have more than one million monthly active users
– More than 80,000 websites have implemented Facebook Connect since December 2008
– More than 60 million Facebook users engage with Facebook Connect on external websites every month

– People that use Facebook on their mobile devices are 50% more active on Facebook than non-mobile users

There is a bit more to simply throwing up a Facebook Business Fan Page, to get noticed you must promote the page using prominent links on your website and including the Facebook Fan Box on your website and blog.  You should also include a link in your email signature, on your business cards, in your newsletter and pretty much on any offline advertising you do.

Another key factor in building fans is to offer up killer content, helpful tips, techniques and useful information this will lead to a huge following.  Self promotional sales tactics will turn your fans off and your following will dissolve quickly.

Tracy Hill is wonderful, and is a great resource for all business owners. Tracy helped me get Style Books with my logo embossed on them, and I couldn't be happier with them. She worked with me and the vendor to make sure everything was perfect. Her customer service and follow-up was wonderful. I would highly recommend working with Tracy to any business owner needing marketing materials/promotional products!

Tim: Just like when one of my gift baskets arrives and you're so excited when you open the box and you're seeing something magical for the first time--that's how I felt when I saw those magnets. You did a fabulous job!

Mary Lewinski, Extra Special Baskets    Website   

I would like to thank Tracy Hill for a fantastic job. I had a huge networking event fast approaching and I needed promotional items for my vendor table. Tracy was able to recommend several options and cleaver ideas. We were able to place my order and I received the items in time for my event. I ordered pens and they look amazing.

I would highly recommend Bizarre Marketing and I would definitely recommend Tracy, she is the BEST!

Valerie Priester    Website   

I am so happy with my pens and business cards. I was like a kid in a candy store when I saw my pens (pink no doubt). My business cards are amazing - I finally got official cards with my logo, no more generic cards (they served their purpose). Tracy Hill was my representative and she is the absolute BEST! She helped me with ideas for an upcoming event and ensured everything would arrive on time for event.

Valerie Priester - Victorious Life Coaching    Website   

Thank you Tracy for helping me with our health fair. The Large insulated bags were a hit and are of very high quality. The pin wheels with our name on the handle were a hit as well with the children and the parents.
