The way we do business in real estate has changed dramatically over the last 10 years… It’s a fact that more than 80% of Buyers use the internet to find their next home… and Buyers are much more savvy than their predecessors.
In order to reach these savvy Buyers, we much be Tech Savvy realtors, and be able to keep up with all the new technology available to us, some of which is FREE! We must have a presence on the internet, and we must be engaging in Social Media… these are the tools we must be using, and if we don’t we may get left behind.
One of the tools available to us is Facebook, something we are all familiar with.
- But, do you have a Business Page, in addition to your Personal page?
- Do you know what you should, and should not be posting on your personal page?
- What should you be posting on your business page, and how often?
- Are you converting your online "friends" into potential clients?
- Are you making the most of this valuable networking tool?
If you don't already have a Facebook Page for your business, you need one. It's a perfect way to engage customers and keep all your company info in one place.
Here's an excerpt from the site:
With more than 300 million active users, Facebook is nearly the size of the United States in terms of population. In fact, odds are that you're a Facebook user, perhaps using it to keep in touch with family and friends, with a dash of business thrown in for good measure. Maybe you look at some of the 2 billion photos uploaded each month, or contribute a few of the 40 million daily status updates. In short: Facebook is where it's at, and you're already there.
But what about your business? Does it use Facebook? If you're a business owner, you really need to set up a Fan Page, or else you risk being left behind as more businesses shift to social networks like Facebook.
This post is a beginner's guide to setting up and getting the most out of a Page on Facebook for your business.
