Why should I use a Facebook Business Page?
Think your business doesn’t need to be on Facebook? Think again. Consider these numbers:
- Over 500 million people have active Facebook accounts.
- Over 175 million people log in to Facebook every day.
- The average user has 130 friends and is connected to 80 community pages, groups, and events.
Those are your customers. Your customers are on Facebook looking for ways to interact with you. Why not meet them where they are? Facebook business pages are the easiest way to connect with your fans (and introduce yourself to new fans!). Let me show you how to leverage Facebook as an integral part of your marketing campaign.
Platinum Business Package: $1,995
This package is for the business that has already established a social media presence, but wants to take it to the next level. I’ll study your entire arsenal of social media tools and tell you how to maximize your engagement. I’ll develop a strategy that will help you build customer loyalty, spread the word about your company or product, and engage your audience, then I’ll teach you how to implement it. With the Platinum Business Package you get sixteen hours of time devoted to making your business shine. I’ll teach you how to
- engage your Facebook audience
- use search engine optimization across the board for better position in search results
- understand your website, blog, and Facebook analytics (so you can see what’s working and what’s not and change accordingly)
- streamline your efforts (because successful social media takes a lot of effort! But I have some tricks up my sleeve to help you out.)
- host a Facebook giveaway the right way (so you don’t get kicked off and lose your hard work)
Facebook Business Page Installation: $495
Do you want to incorporate social media into your marketing plan, but aren’t sure where to start? Or maybe you just don’t have time to get the ball rolling. Let me
- install your Facebook business page with the proper settings
- invite your customers to find and Like you on Facebook
- set your vanity URL (http://facebook.com/YourBusinessName)
- install two or three applications based on your needs (e.g., contact form, newsletter sign-up, or blog RSS feed)
- give you one hour of training to get you up and running
During your consultation, I’ll explain the ins and outs of administering your page and provide tips on building a strong Facebook community. I’m available for additional consulting if you’d like to set up a complete social media strategy (see Platinum Business Package).
Semi-Private Classes: Prices Vary
These social media and blogging classes are ideal if you have a group that wants to learn together or if you want to do more hands-on learning yourself instead of hiring me to do it for you. Because the classes aren’t private, the information is general and there is no customized learning.
Be sure you’ve signed up for my Blogging Basics 101 newsletter to see each month’s schedule. Each newsletter announces
- all upcoming local classes
- all upcoming online classes
- weekday evening and Saturday morning classes as they are offered
- links to the Eventbrite sign-up page for each upcoming class
- additional links and articles that will help you grow your social media presence
All local classes meet at Meadowbrook Country Club in Tulsa, OK. I use Eventbrite.com to manage my class sign ups. Just follow the links in the most recent newsletter and sign up for the classes you need. You’ll be prompted to pay via credit card and your space will be reserved for those classes. You’ll receive a confirmation e-mail two days before your class meets. If you have any questions, please e-mail me at melanie@bloggingbasics101.com.
If you’d like to schedule a specific class for your group, we can do that! Look over the list of social media and blogging classes I offer, then contact me at melanie@bloggingbasics101.com to set it up! I’ll need to know the date you’d like (have a few in mind so we can sync our calendars), the venue, number of people attending, and the topic(s) you want to cover. Prices for these classes will vary and we’ll discuss that based on the information you share with me.
Private Consultation: $150/hour
So you have your Facebook business page set up and you think it’s doing OK, but you want to make it GREAT? I can help you with that. I’ll meet with you on your schedule and discuss how I can help you improve your community interaction and strengthen your bottom line. Before we meet I’ll study your current page, then provide tangible deliverables. Much of what I’ll share with you will require practice on your part, but I’ll be available by the hour to answer your questions and help you over any stumbling blocks.
Corporate Training: Prices Vary
I am available to speak to your company group or professional organization about using social media to it fullest potential. I’ll interview you to discover what you’re currently doing and how it’s working, then I will come prepared with a presentation, slides, and specific examples geared to your company’s or organization’s needs. We’ll discuss your options, practice some key points, and take time for questions. I’ll also leave you with bound handouts so you can remember the key points and implement them immediately. To book your corporate training event, please contact me at melanie@bloggingbasics101.com.
