Facebook Business Pages made local in Santa Cruz

Creating a business page on Facebook will not suddenly boost brand loyalty or drive sales, but it is an important Web marketing tool for small business owners. You will need to add custom tabs and information to make it work for you depending upon if you are a service or retail business.
If you're new to Facebook in terms of creating and managing a business Account, Facebook lets you create a Business Page which is different from a personal profile page on the site. They keep changing how to do Create a page from week to week and have now made it a bit easier but it's still a bit of a hoop jump. I work with clients to figure this out in an easy instructional manner and create graphic profile graphics and splash pages. A new feature added to Facebook is the places page. You can claim your page and have a place for people to check-in. Once it's yours you can add coupons and other added perks for your loyal customers and friends.
