Overall Satisfaction with Facebook for Business
It was developed in an effort to reach prospective customers nationally as well as globally in a much more efficient manner. I was the only person that used this platform to put our product in the spotlight to increase sales. It addressed the previous problem of having to manually compile call lists to reach out to law enforcement entities and present the benefits of the product to people with purchasing decision power. It also helped greatly by being able to post content relevant to the end user's typical use of the products through short creative posts including demo videos of the product in action.
- You can create target audience groups based on a variety of selected profile indicators to compile robust lists of potential customers to share content with.
- You can analyze the Facebook insights which include data analytics that reveal what posts, content, videos are working to gain attention, followers, likes and also what is not working, and also show when the best times of day are to post content according to when Facebook users typically viewed the content
- You can create marketing campaigns including giveaways, raffles, surveys etc... to keep your audience engaged and also collect profile data.
- You can create, publish and track ads in Facebook and decide how much to spend or see how much it would cost to reach your intended target audience lists.
- You can also choose to not allow users posts, comments etc... without prior approval first.
- Build a relationship with your intended target audience using engaging content that appeals to one of their primary emotions.
- I would like to be able to break down the target audience selections even further.
- Not being able to like user profiles can make it hard to find a particular profile again
- Make it easier to sell right from the Facebook page itself
- prior to beginning the facebook business page RFQ's came in to the office at an average of 7 per week, following the development of the facebook page average grew to 35 per week.
- Sales nearly doubled in less than 18 months, and again doubled in the next year
- International distribution sales relationship were formed due to the product demos on Facebook
- We increased revenue so much that the company allowed us the funding to redesign the website, redevelop the product to upgrade many key features, begin the branding of all our materials for shipping, and tech documents, youtube channel etc...
- Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and Pinterest
Facebook for business stacks up against them because it has the furthest reaching arms that include people from every walk of life, and every generation of people. It has the ability to gain the most attraction the fastest. The capabilities of the data analytics is truly remarkable. And the varying options for pricing on publishing ads can be customized to work virtually any budget. Also, it has the most extensive training videos that make it easy to learn how to use the site to the fullest capabilities.

Facebook for Business Implementation

- Internal issues with not being allowed to access Facebook due to internal server restrictions because our company executives did not see the value in developing the social media presence until they saw the results.
