I believed if targeted right facebook can help a business tremendously. Lets say your market is dogs. Well if youmarket to all the dog lover groups and supply solutions to their problems you are looking at over 35million happy customers

Here are some Facebook business page tips that will help keep your customers happy:

* Your business page is your store, your reception area, so treat it like if it was brick and mortar. I understand that social media management is kind of a new field and many of the social media campaign managers are constrained by the rules & procedures of their company but the same rules of customer service apply. Your customers come to your FB page with the expectation of being treated as if they are in your store or reception area.

* Check Facebook (and other social media channels for that matter) at different times throughout the day and when you see that customers (or fans if you prefer) have commented or posted on your wall, they expect an acknowledgement of some kind. You can acknowledge similar comments in a group response, or by saying something along the lines of “thanks everyone for your comments, we really appreciate all your responses”. Those responses from your fans are gold, they are the keys to what your business is doing right and wrong.

* People come to your page to get information about your products and services so post at least once a day, if you can post more great because this will allow you to target users that login at different times.

* It is OK to talk to your customers, and yes company policy may tell you to send customers to your support forum if they experience issues but the least that customers expect is a link to where they need to go.

Pretty simple right

This is exactly true, you can join groups as your target market. It is really helpful, you know the saying "Birds of the same feather, flocks together", as a marketer this is really very helpful strategy to get you business know.

Getting lots of likes shouldn't be your goal. It's more about getting the right audience to like your page. Feature it prominently in your website etc. You can also run Facebook advertising campaign targeting your audience, this is easy and cheaper in Facebook compared to AdWords.
You can also try giving something away for liking your page. It could be a free report or something useful for your prospective clients. You usually need to create a Facebook app to do this, which is also relatively easy to do.

I remember right before Facebook was huge Myspace started causing a lot of problems. If we didn't have Facebook there would still be a social networking site out there where people can get themselves into trouble. People put themselves in these positions, not the website. As for people taking pictures just for Facebook, that's everywhere on everything. People so focused on taking pictures and videos instead of living in the moment. I was recently at a concert and *everyone* had their phones up recording. Remember when people would go to concerts and bug out and have a good time. ...Now everyone stands still with their camera phones in the air. It's the weirdest thing to watch lol.
