Why Your Wedding Business Needs to Create a Facebook Fan Page Today

With Social Networking, Facebook and Twitter being household names, it's surprising that many wedding related businesses still have not embraced the trend and created a Facebook Fan Page!

Many small business owners still believe that Facebook is just for connecting with old friends and not for business. I bet you'd change your mind if you knew that many of your favorite businesses have very active Facebook pages with huge numbers of fans. Here are a few favorites: Target: 906,567 fans, Whole Foods 199,789 fans and Old Navy 417,795 fans.

If you're still not convinced, here's a list of 5 reasons why you need to create your Facebook fan page today...

• Facebook has more than 400 million users. 35 million users update their status every day. 50% of active users log on to Facebook each day. More than 20 millions users become fans of Pages each day.
• Facebook pages are public pages and can be viewed by anyone. Content on your page can be indexed by search engines and your page will show up in organic search results. When I googled our company name, our facebook page showed up on page 1, 2 and 3 of the search results.
• When a facebook user becomes a fan, this information is announced in their news feed for all their friends to see!
• Messages can be sent to all fans with one quick email. A fan page is great way to build a network and database of customers (or potential customers) all with a common interest.
• You can easily link your blog to your fan page. Each time you update your blog the post will be show as a note on the wall of your fan page. This note will then be posted on the news feed of all your fans.
