The businesses I chose for Mary's page were all local businesses in her area. Because Mary is a tax preparer and bookkeeper I thought the target market for her initially would be local business people. I can see how engaging with the conversations on these sites would enable Mary to be seen and she could possibly get to know some of the owners or who ever is managing the page. Also if something is mentioned about someone needing her service, she could jump in on the conversation.
It was interesting to see just how many businesses in high desert don't have FB pages. The restaurants especially. I looked at at least 5 websites for food and only one (that wasn't a national brand) had FB . They've always been a little behind in technology. Although, as always the realtors are on it! They wouldn't make it if they weren't....

Hi Cheryl! I'm in agreement with you about the lack of Facebook pages some businesses have. With Facebook being a great way to get free advertisement and the ability to engage with your current and potential customers, many are missing out on a great opportunity to do so. I think the pages you chose for Mary will definitely help her take steps in the right direction, especially when she's taking advantage of the technology available.
ReplyDeleteHi Tiffany! Makes me think there is an opportunity with all the businesses that aren't on to possibly sell the idea of Facebook to them and maybe gain them as clients.
