Facebook Warning for Businesses

July 26th, 2010

Last week I received 5 friend requests from businesses. Normal friend requests are great. I’m proud to have over 700 Facebook friends! But, when we receive friend requests from a “celebrity, band or business” it means they setup their account incorrectly. They are in danger of having their account revoked because it is a violation of the FB terms of service. It would be a shame for a business to make connections and then have their account and contacts shut down.

This article is not to create fear, just to warn and inform on the proper way to do business on Facebook.
Businesses are supposed to use Facebook “Pages” and not setup the standard personal account. Benefits to having a Page including visitor statistics and the ability to use Facebook advertisements. There is also the benefit of not having their account revoked.  ~:-)

If you have a standard Facebook account for your business I recommend that you create a page ASAP.
You can do so @ http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php

If you are Facebook Friends with any businesses I request that you to send them to this article.

God Bless,
Oscar Myre IV

Greetings!

Happy July to all of our valued clients!

This message is going out to all clients that have purchased Web Site Maintenance and eMail Marketing Campaigns.

Please let us know if you are needing eClub sign up forms or return envelopes.

eMail Marketing!

Why should your customer come to see you this month?

Summer is here, kids are out of school and everyone wants to dance in the sunshine!

What do your clients need that you can provide? Let’s tell them about it. Let’s scream it from their eMail boxes:

  • We offer great value!
  • We have what you need!
  • We want to help you create something better!
  • We appreciate you!

Have you been offering the same thing for a long time? Let’s shake it up a bit….What’s new?

Web Sites!

Your web site is a vital part of your marketing plan. It is your office online. The virtual office that is open 24-7. Considering the cost of employees, it is a pretty inexpensive way to communicate to your clients, and your future clients, who happen to be surfing the web, looking for something they need, needing a service or product that you would like to help them with.

Have you looked at your site recently?

Is your site up-to-date?

Have you made it a resource so that your client is educated about the products they already have? New clients will appreciate knowing that when you are closed, you have thought about the answers they might have. A blog is a great way to do this.

By putting a short article on your blog every month you have benefitted yourself in at least 3 ways:

  1. You are updating your site regularly. This tells the search engines that you are committed to keeping your site fresh and they in turn like your site even more.
  2. You are taking care of the needs of your present and future clients by helping them with their questions.
  3. You are offering the cyber-world more keyword phrases and ideas and possibly gaining a greater audience because you have the answer they were looking for.

If you have an eMail Marketing Campaign we can even take the article from your blog and make that one of your monthly emails with links back to your site. When it comes to your web site, it is all about getting traffic to your site.

Don’t have a blog? Give us a call!

360.575.9839 or toll free 877.378.4345

If you have any questions we are hear to answer them. Remember, we are here to help! ~:-)

Have a Refreshingly Different Day!
