As years have passed, we have witnessed Facebook overpower other social networks in their chase to dominate the market. When the amount of users skyrocketed into millions, the next step was for companies to tap into a market where specific niches could be targeted.

What many of these companies didn’t realize is that it is not as easy as just putting up a Facebook fan page.  Everyone always assume that because you are on Facebook, people will automatically like you.  But as a consumer, why would I follow you if I don’t get any benefit out of it? That’s where companies need to understand that in order to successfully build a following and have higher margins of traffic and interaction, companies need to deliver an experience or produce content that will generate curiosity or some amount of interest.

All these things can be achieved by talking directly to customers, promotions, giveaways, ads etc. The point is to build a community that will be interested in visiting the page. Facebook should also be treated as word-of-mouth (which believe it or not, it still is the most trusted and powerful form of advertising).  That means that messages need to be carefully tailored before going live, otherwise they could become rather destructive for the brand.
