Facebook 201: Marketing through Facebook

What Marketing Managers and Business Owners Need to Know about the Selling Power of Facebook

Why market through Facebook? There are 4 billion minutes spent on Facebook each day, and over 200 million active users. Facebook’s fastest growing demographic is those 35 years old and older. And more than 6 million users become fans of pages each day.

Simply put: Facebook is today’s version of word-of-mouth advertising. It offers an easy way to publish your content, and for your clients and prospects to share it with their friends and colleagues.

Gone are the days when an ad in the Yellow Pages was your most effective marketing strategy. Today people go out of their way to avoid ads. You need to speak directly to your customers where they want to spend their time and where they want to learn about products.

You will learn how to apply sound marketing strategies to today’s technology. We’ll walk you step-by-step through building a page, posting content to it, and evaluating its effectiveness. After this two-hour seminar, you’ll leave ready to develop your own Facebook page and with an understanding of how to market through it.

Learn how to:

• Build a Facebook page.
• Build a fan base. The first 100 fans are often the more difficult to get. We’ll give you tips on getting started.
• Develop and distribute content through Facebook.
• Evaluate the quality of your content. Is it pulling people into your sales cycle?

'A lot of business seminars promise things. This one definitely delivered! The time spent there just whizzed by. There was so much good, solid marketing information presented for business owners in a relaxed and engaging fashion. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the take away supplemental materials. I've got the poster mounted in my office already. Thanks Lonny! '

Lonny's presentation was very energizing and well received by the club. We have many members in our club who commented that it is always great to hear another perspective about how to get one's arms around the many subtle nuances of "marketing" and they appreciated a fresh look.

Thank you for allowing me to participate in your morning Seminar. I genuinely appreciate the gracious hospitality you extended me, not to mention the gift of instructional materials and valuable knowledge you imparted. I look forward to our paths crossing again.
