Why set up a Fan Page?

Facebook was created for friends and family to communicate in a somewhat private setting.  Your Facebook profile should  be kept with that in mind.

The Fan Page is where you can go public with your business.  It is also where your business contacts can be added instead of combining business contacts with friends and family.

Keep your personal account limited to people you really know, like, and trust.  This will make your Facebook experience fun and safer.

Set up a Fan Page to market your business.  This is where you will post public thoughts, pictures etc. that promote your product or service.   The reason the Facebook fan page is a powerful marketing tool is because it is open to the public and can be found by search engines. It is also viewable by anyone (even if they don’t have a Facebook.)  You will be more careful about what you post here to keep a consistent brand message.

How to Set Up a Facebook Fan Page (aka:  Business Page)
