These days over 750 Million people have a Facebook account. To put that in perspective, that’s one in nine people on the entire planet…!

Facebook is your friends and family posting random status updates and pictures of last nights party, right? So what’s it got to do with Business? Thats where Facebook Pages come in.

Being able to advertise www.facebook.com/yourcompany will likely gain you a lot of traffic, where your normal website in printed media may not.

SCL can create your Facebook Page and help you claim your unique Facebook web address before somebody else does. Having a unique page that reflects either your name or the nature of your business is a great marketing tool. Once set up, a Facebook page needs to be active and lively if its going to gain a loyal fan base (other Facebook users who ‘like’ your page).

Twitter, whilst not as big as Facebook on pure user numbers, has at peak times had over 4000 new messages per second posted through its platform and is increasingly used by business to get in closer contact with their customers. For those unfamiliar with Twitter, please check out my ‘Twitter for newbies’ guide, available for download soon.

SCL can help you get a presence on these networks, and there are many other social media opportunities online for you to increase the reach of your business. For more information, please contact us.
