Your missing out on the internet “word of mouth” and it’s effective.

As soon as someone likes your page it shows it to everyone of their friends they have on Facebook and if they really like you and post on their wall they start generating even more free advertising for you. Now I’m a Facebook user and some business use it right they put up contests, information, and respond to inquiries by their Facebook friends. The thing I am really tired of is businesses thinking they can just spit out a contest say like us on Facebook and then just constantly spit their products and deals out at you and never correspond with anything that gets posted on the wall but what they wrote.

I think Facebookers should be un-liking all of the businesses who don’t take the time to engage them. They are already spitting their products out by email, website, and any other method they can. However if your posting questions and trying to talk to them and no responses from the company just the community then they are not showing they care about their customers at all.

Want to see an examples you can find tons of them but here is a quick glance -

Done Wrong

Steel Series - https://www.facebook.com/SteelSeries?sk=wall all you find is them spouting their products and events and in the comment thread they never respond to their customers.

Done Right

Want to see one that does it right, our very own local GameZilla – https://www.facebook.com/pages/GameZilla-Saint-John/172893049449350?sk=wall look and how many times they respond via comments and actually talk to their customers.

What does this show you, well one company is engaging their customers, talking to them and doing what is right. The other company is just spitting out more of it’s same ol same ol buy our product we are so great. Businesses need to start treating Social Media, as just that Social it’s not a one way communication tool and if that is how your going to treat it your not getting the real value out of it. As for those customers you can easily teach them a quick lesson just un-like their page they will quickly run another contest to get you back as they look at it as what it is a LOSS. Maybe then they will realize what it is they are doing wrong…neglecting their customers and Facebook friends.

The system has many options similar to Word Documents so that you can make the transition from electronic document to adding content to your website.

There is all kinds of tutorials to show you how to use your WordPress system and many videos on YouTube so I’m not going to re-do the Wheel but help guide people to where the information is located.
