Why Your Business Needs a facebook Page

5 reasons why your business needs to be on facebook:

1. The average user on facebook is networked with 130 online “friends”. If you can engage just 1 person, any interaction they do will be seen by all of those “friends”. That is FREE advertising.
2. Facebook allows owners of pages to track the demographics of the people who visit the page. You can find out exactly who are the people who are interacting with your business. You can then use this information to advertise to people just like them. This is wonderful information, rather than having to test to find out who to engage with, you know the answer.
3. Most people on facebook are addicted to the online community and spend a ton of time each day on the site: 55 minutes a day. That’s right; the average person spends almost an hour a day on facebook. Companies pay big bucks for banners space on a billboard that is seen for mere seconds; get your business seen for far longer, at no expense to you.
4. 20% of the 500 million users live in the USA. The Super Bowl in 2010 generated a television record of 106.5 million viewers; facebook crushes that on a daily basis.
5. With social media dominating the inernet, it is even becoming the number 1 source of website traffic. Last year in the UK, the average website got more traffic from facebook then they did from search engines.
