Many business Facebook Pages use custom tabs to run contests, offer discounts or give away free content. While you can set these custom tabs to be the default landing page for non-fans, you cannot control where an existing fan lands when they visit your Page. Fans will always land on the Wall first. http://www.hyperarts.com/blog/custom-tabs-facebook-profile-page-picture/

7 Ways To Build Customer Relationships On Facebook

Until recently, many chief marketing officers were only focused on gathering millions of Facebook fans. The next phase is all about building relationships with them online. The first stage in managing a relationship with fans, just like with customers, is creating a database of all fans under one roof. It doesn’t matter where the fans are: Facebook, twitter or on your website. http://www.allfacebook.com/7-ways-to-build-customer-relationships-on-facebook-2011-05
Marketers must look beyond fan count to find real success. Having a branded Facebook page has become near-essential for many businesses. As such, companies should give as much thought and energy into planning and managing their Facebook page as they do a traditional website. “The rapid adoption of the ‘like’ button and the rise of the Facebook ‘homepage’ are indications that marketing on Facebook has become a necessity for businesses large and small,” said Kimberly Maul, eMarketer writer/analyst and co-author of the new report, “ Facebook Marketing: Strategies for Turning ‘Likes’ into Loyalty .” http://socialmediatoday.com/ralphpaglia/297943/facebook-success-beyond

After all, the best marketing reaches out to consumers where they already are, and people spend more than 700 billion hours a month on the site.

http://www.dachisgroup.com/2011/04/zuckerberg-suits-up-for-obama/ Yesterday’s Facebook Live Townhall with President Barack Obama and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg prompted a lively discussion in our Austin office. Not only about Zuckerberg’s shirt and tie , but our social business take on how the live event went down. It made us think: If we were going to host a Facebook Live event for a client, how would we do it? Our goal: optimize the Facebook platform to make the most of this opportunity. First off, here’s what we liked about yesterday’s event: Real-time engagement.

In preparing for a webinar this week with Lithium Technologies on Facebook and your brand, I spent a bit of time researching best practices for engaging customers on Facebook. I've pulled together a list and thought it might be useful to share some ideas and techniques that some companies are finding effective on Facebook and other social sites. Engaging the "social" customer is a topic that is getting a lot of air time these days for good reason. The more customers migrate to the social web the more engagement becomes a priority for successful brands and is tied to the overall customer experience. Moving from a transactional relationship to one of trust and engagement is fundamentally about the customer experience; positive or negative experience trumps everything else. Engaging where your customers are online is important and today they're on Facebook.
