How can I use Facebook to help market my business?

You can create a Facebook "page" for your business, to better utilize social networking to interact with potential customers and the general public. A Facebook "Page" differs from your usual Facebook Account in that a Facebook Account is meant for an individual, whereas Facebook Pages are meant for a wide variety of uses such as entertainment, jokes, and businesses. By responding to the people who "Like" your Facebook page, you increase your reputation with the public and put a digital "face" on your company.


What is the mission statement of Facebook?

Facebook's name comes from books of freshmen's faces, majors, and hometowns that are distributed to incoming students at colleges and universities around the country (Hoover's, 2008). Facebook was founded in 2004 to provide a social utility that connects people with friends, family, and others who work, study and live around them. Since its foundation, Facebook has grown from a simple interactive, intuitive, and user-friendly site at a local level to a complex interactive, intuitive, and user-friendly site at a global level. According to Facebook, "People use Facebook to keep up with friends, upload an unlimited number of photos, share links and videos, and learn more about the people they meet." At its nucleus, the company strives to develop new technologies that better facilitate the sharing of information through the social graph, the digital mapping of people's real-world social connections (Facebook, 2008). The critical factors of Facebook success are that anyone can sign up for Facebook and interact with the people they know in a trusted environment; anyone can discover the people around them using their networks where each is based around a company, region, or school; anyone can use Facebook's platform which enables anyone, anywhere, to build complete applications that you can choose to use; and anyone can keep their private information private where the user has the ability to control over how they share their information and who can see it. Although Facebook is largely a people-to-people (P2P) community, it can also act as a mobile, business-to-business (B2B), and business-to-consumer (B2C) community. Facebook's general social network has grown to include all types of social networks, and even came to act as a portal, although calling it exclusively a portal, practice, interest, affinity, or sponsored social network is not necessarily true. Facebook's environment, platform, and range of possibilities have allowed for all types of social networks and vertical content portals to co-exist under one domain, effectively. Facebook's general social networking offerings provide a simplified navigation interface that gives users easy access to core site functions and applications through focusing their efforts on core functions first and alternatives later. The core to the user experience is through Facebook's end-user's profile page, friend's page, networks page and inbox, which can be found at the top of every user's profile. The second dimension of its core is the Facebook applications, which include photos, notes, groups, events and posted items. These applications are accessible and easy to find via their left side bar, along with any third-party applications a user has added to their account (Facebook, 2008). Such third party applications are secondary to its core functions. However, these third party applications are what make the Facebook experience operate as a vertical content portal, practice social network, interest social network, affinity social network, and sponsored social network, rather than just a general social network such as MySpace. Its sponsored social network offerings include a variety of business and government solutions such as Facebook Social Ads, Facebook Beacon, Facebook Pages, Facebook Insight, Facebook Polls, and Facebook Platform. Facebook's practice, interest, and affinity social network offerings include the ability for users to join groups or Facebook networks outside their fundamental social graph based on interests, demographics or geographic area, and professional experience. In addition to all of their social network offerings, Facebook offers an advertising platform for businesses who wish to take advantage of today's current e-commerce marketing trend, advertising via social networks. Facebook continues to grow as they stay on top of current and future trends of e-commerce.
