Facebook 101: Is Your Brand Worth a Like? | Digital - Advertising Age

Facebook allows users of its social networking site to comment on its pages without Liking them now. This is a step in a direction that might make advertisers, brand managers and marketing people feel a little uneasy, because it means they may have to start thinking deeply for their brand rather than just counting hits. One of the main benchmarks for tracking brand awareness was in being able to track how many "fans" or followers to a brand page managed by the company or agency. Facebook pages are now like a revolving door.

http://www.docnews.fr/actualites/facebook-relations-aux-marques,6240.html En 5 ans, Facebook est devenu une arme de communication massive et les marques ne s’y sont pas trompées. 500 millions d'utilisateurs dans le monde, avec 200 millions de nouveaux utilisateurs sur la dernière année. En mai 2010 Facebook devance Google aux USA en terme de traffic. 15% du temps passé sur Internet est sur Facebook, la moyenne de temps passé serait de 55 minutes par jour, et un utilisateur a 130 amis en moyenne.

The Thin Line Between Liking a Brand and Liking Its Social Marketing - eMarketer

According to ExactTarget, a major reason for this desire is the nature of Facebook itself. A Facebook profile, which lists brands that a fan is connected to alongside other interests such as music, movies and books, is a venue for self-expression. The company found it was very important for some users to show brands almost as a part of their own personality.

http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/why_most_facebook_marketing_doesnt_work.php For almost four years, since the Facebook Platform was launched, I have been involved in delivering Facebook apps for top brands such as CBS, NBC, Lifetime, Universal Music, Visa and more. Here's what we have learned doesn't work, and more importantly, what does work. First, deep campaigns don't work. Digital agencies love deep, expensive campaigns on Facebook, with tons of pages, interaction, and art.

Ils permettent l'un et l'autre d'indiquer à vos amis Facebook que vous appréciez tel ou tel article, et s'inscrivent dans la grande tendance de recommandation sociale. Cliquer sur l'un ou l'autre de ces deux boutons inscrira un message sur votre profil Facebook, que vos amis verront passer dans leur fil d'actualité. Mais quel est l'avantage de l'un par rapport à l'autre ? Le blog Momentus Media s'est livré à une analyse pour tenter de découvrir lequel de ces deux outils a le plus gros potentiel de viralité.

Je « like » donc je suis – Facebook | LE MARKETING SUR LE WEB

Pour bénéficier de réductions à 40 % mais le plus important concerne l’activité de l’entreprise : les internautes qui « Like » souhaitent connaître l’actualité de l’entreprise et son futur avec par exemple, le lancement de nouveaux produits.
