Facebook Fan Page Report for Puget Sound Small Businesses From Hullabaloo New Media Marketing

Online, October 10, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Hullabaloo New Media Marketing announces a new free report -- "Facebook Marketing for Local Businesses" -- available for instant download. The report discusses how to promote a local small business by advertising on a Facebook Fan Page and reaching millions of social media users.

Navigating Facebook can be difficult and complex when your goal is to market your business. Typically, a loyal customer visits a company's Facebook Fan Page to socialize with other loyal customers rather than to engage in business or buy products and services, so traditional advertising can easily fall flat. Then there is the pressure to create and post compelling content on a regular basis, which can use up the business owner's valuable time and financial resources if not handled properly. And although Facebook gets millions of visitors every day, small brick and mortar businesses will only benefit from those who live or work within driving distance, so knowing how to laser-target local prospects is essential for effective social media marketing.

"A lot of local companies are not aware of the business they could be getting if only they had the right kind of social media exposure. Facebook is gift to local businesses but only if they know how to use it properly. You just can't create a Facebook Fan page and walk away and expect new customers to come to your business. You need to make frequent updates and reach out using Facebook's advanced targeted ad system if you want to leverage this social media phenomenon" said Alex Mickus, Owner of Hullabaloo New Media Marketing.

Facebook ads are a truly a gift to small businesses and they are still relatively inexpensive compared to newspaper and Yellow Pages ads, or using Google's pay per click advertising. And because Facebook gathers so much information through its user profiles, there is a rich collection of demographic and psychographic data available. That information can be used to fine-tune marketing campaigns based on local geography as well as interests, activities, favorite movies and other criteria that allow you to advertise in front of some of the most targeted traffic currently available online

"We offer social media consulting services especially designed to support professionals and small business owners who want to start leveraging Facebook but feel like they don't have the time. As well as creating custom Facebook Fan Pages, we develop custom campaigns tailored to bring in new customers as well as a strong return on investment. Local business owners can focus on the heart of their business and let us handle all of their online marketing," added Alex.
