When meeting with new clients I am often shocked when they ask me, “Why does my business need a Facebook page?<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of my clients have already paid a bunch of money for a web site and are feeling a little bit spent when it comes to digital. People think they are going to have to spend the same amount they did on the web page to get a business page up and running. Many are surprised to find out this is not the case. With minimal technical know-how, a business owner can create their own page using their cell phone. If you care about being found online, a Facebook business page is not something you can overlook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are 5 reasons why your business needs a Facebook page.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1 – A Facebook Page is completely free. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unlike a web site, there is no cost to starting a Facebook business page. As a platform, Facebook makes their money off of advertising. They give you the page for free and encourage you to spend money on advertising to be found by more people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2- A Facebook Business Page offers an avenue for customer engagement. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Facebook offers a way to communicate with your clients both individually and en masse. Want to see if a new product will do well? Post it on your page and see what your followers have to say. You are also given the opportunity to create events and collect reviews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 – Facebook is easy to use.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Starting a Facebook Business page requires no coding knowledge. If you can write a sentence and attach a picture, you can manage a Facebook page. Their developers do all the heavy lifting to make sure each page displays correctly across all devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 – Your customers and potential customers are already on the platform. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to the Pew Research Center over 7 in 10 Americans use social media, with the majority of them having a Facebook account. As a business, you want to be visible on the platform your clients are using. If you own a bakery and someone on Facebook is looking for a cake, having a page allows your customers to tag and refer your business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 – Facebook is investing big money to keep people on their platform.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Facebook consistently releases updates that encourage users to stay on their site, versus venturing anywhere else. Why go to google if you can search on Facebook? Why visit a companies web page when their Facebook page will tell you the same thing? As mentioned above, Facebook makes money off of advertising. The longer a user is logged into their platform the more money they stand to make. Let Facebook spend the money, so that you may reap the rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sounds good, but I can barely turn on my computer let alone create a Facebook page.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
