Facebook Vs Google+ for your Business needs?

With the recent launch of Googles latest flagship "Google+" people are now asking is is time for Businesses to switch from the tried and trusted Facebook platform, to this new arena.

 

Well I would say HOLD ON and dont get too excited, because Facebook still holds all the cards when it comes to advertising your business effectivly. Businesses who market themselves correctly on Facebook can see upwards of a 30% increase in their sales revenues, and it still remains the best source of FREE advertising around.

It could well be that the new Google+ proves more than a match for the mighty Facebook, and that businesses over time, will see greater benifits over their Facebook sites. But what you have to ask yourselves is "Am I getting the most out of my Facebook Business site?", because the VAST majority of businesses just dont come up to the mark when it comes to Social Media. Why? Well thats because they are missinga vitally important trick, and a trick that could see their fan count rise by as much as 5x its current levels.

 

So what are we missing? I hear you ask. Well take some time and look at the big players in the market, players like Coke, Virgin, Red Bull, and you will see how they market their brands CORRECTLY. You see big multi national companies PUSH their brand no matter where they are,, be it on line or off line. Their branding is on everything they use or sell, everything from T-Shirts to stationary, to the products themselves. Take Red Bull, their brand is a very strong one and you are never left in any doubt as to what the company is involved in because their logo's are emblazened all over the things they endorse. And that goes for their Facebook sites, right from the moment you land on their pages you see a strong visual image, that has a look and feel of their company branding. Its this that has helped make their pages HUGELY popular and this that can make YOUR Facebook site popular too.

 

You have to get into the big company thinking when it comes to Social Media on Facebook, take their lead and get YOUR branding onto the main page of your Facebook Business site. You dont have to have the $100,000 budgets that the big boys have, and if you have a flair for graphics you can do it for FREE. This is a fairly simple thing to do but will take up a little of your time.

However we have found a small company that will do this for you from just £120 ($200), they create your graphics and load everything up onto your Facebook site, they will even fullky manage your account for a small monthly fee.

Take a look at what they have to offer, we were very happy with the results: http://www.socialorange.co.uk
