Why Your Business Needs A Facebook Landing Page


FaceBook is the most popular Social Network in the world and with over 850 million active users around the globe; you really can’t afford to not have a presence.

The Face Book Landing Page is simply a public page that allows you to share info about your company, its services, products and incentives that your currently are providing and over it really gives your visitors a real reason to LIKE your page but also to stay tuned for anything that you may be rolling out. 

"Great example from the awesome folks over at Maximum Design & Advertising Inc. in North Carolina" 

Like any form of marketing, we all know one things for sure and it’s that first impressions are everything. When a face book user stumbles or looks for your page for the first time, you need a warm awesome way of welcoming them to your business page and that’s exactly what a welcome page does, it converts welcomings into Like’s.

Most Businesses have a face book has a business page, that’s the exact problem though, in order to make a real impression on visitors you must stand out from the rest.

A Face Book Fan Page will:
Generate Traffic:

           -Customers are able to see your posts every time they log on
-You can inform customers about new products, services, events, photos and new deals you might be rolling out
-Awesome form of online advertisement considering a landing page is your digital online Billboard just with more traffic than your local freeway
- Ability to direct face book viewers to your company website, blog and even videos. Increasing your interactions on face book will increase your external site traffic.
- Companies actually use this Fan Page interaction opportunity to gather emails for marketing, events, surveys and much more.

-       Shopping online is now over 50% of shopping that occurs daily in the world, so having a presence and a legit Face Book Page will create trust.
-       A Fan Page with comments and answers show potential customers that there is actually someone there to provide customers with service.
-       Improve your social media presence and you will improve your sales, the rules that apply in store also apply on line, the only difference here is that there are more people online than there are in your store.

  1. Another benefit of having a Facebook landing page is that it gives you an inside look into what your consumer market is interested in knowing. Facebook provides you tools to keep track of the user activity inside your page, and that is critical information you have to make use of to gain a solid foothold in your niche. Knowing what your market is interested in will allow you to shape your products and/or services to appeal to their preferences. It will also give you a good idea on how to market your products and/or services in such a way that you catch their attention at first glance.
