Improve customer relations and connect with them through the social network
Facebook Fan Pages are nicely equipped with a good amount of analytics tools accessible by page owners.
You’ll be able to track the number of interactions your page has with fans and view key demographics.
How to Create a Facebook Fan Page:
If you already have a Facebook account for personal use then this can be linked with your business fan page. Alternatively you can setup a dedicated fan page which isn’t linked to any other form of account, to get started visit http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php and follow the on screen instructions.
You can post all sorts of content, but the actual design and layout of your profile is the same as everyone else’s. With a Facebook Fan Page there are many different apps you can plug into them, there are a few ways you can customise what people see when they land on your Page.
The best method by far for customising a Facebook fan page is understanding FBML (Facebook Markup Language) which is very similar to HTML we use for building websites here at GetOnIT. The use of FBML is outside the scope of this post however we can provide facebook services for business if you need a little help so please contact us for more information.
