Social networks providing a platform for businesses to attract potential and continuing customers is nothing new. Having the ability to virtually create a mini website using Facebook Page Design in fact is. The introduction of custom Facebook tabs has made it possible to market your brand to any demographic you choose while keeping the end-user within the walls of the site. Simply put, more buying and less bailing!
The conventional website has long stood as the standard online tool for companies and consumers alike to do anything and everything within the market place. Businesses spend countless hours developing online marketing strategies with the idea of introducing and selling goods and services, while consumers spend a fraction of that time researching and deciding whether or not to buy. Over recent years that fraction of time spent on the conventional website has shrunk immensely.
Why? Because 500 million active users are too busy Facebooking! Half of active users are logging in everyday. More than 200 million actives currently access the social network through mobile devices. And if you are feeling crazy and want dabble in International business, about 70% of users are outside of the U.S. That, my (facebook) friends, is a platform!
Rather than running an ad that pops your website up in a new window with hopes that your potential customer does not bail, you can create your own Custom Facebook Fan Page Design that will market your brand or offering, while keeping the user where they ultimately want to stay. The users spending over 700 billion monthly minutes within the sites pages do not lie! The statistics are staggering to say the least.
