Facebook Marketing
30 million people are now registered users of Facebook in the UK – that’s every other person.
There are loads of stats available to convince even the most skeptical out there that Facebook has become one of the most powerful marketing tools available. And its FREE. Once you have fans of your Facebook page you can market to them as often as you like. Unlike email marketing, you don’t require them to open your email. Your message appears as a post on their wall.
What’s more, as long as you don’t go mad, Facebook users will tolerate a lot more regular messages from you than they would emails.
For a lot of businesses Facebook should be one of the most important aspect of marketing. For some, Facebook is taking over from email as their preferred communication option. Depending on who your target audience is will depend on how much weight to put on Facebook. Certainly if you are selling your products and services to the public then it should be your main focus.
Fan page or Profile?
As a business you must make sure you have a Fan page rather than a Profile. This is really important. Facebook clearly states in their terms of service that profile pages are for individuals only and not for businesses. If you flout this rule you run a real risk of having your page deactivated. This could mean all the hard work you’ve done to build up followers disappears in one go.

Twitter Marketing
Twitter is a game changer for new websites and blogs. By far, it is the easiest and cheapest way to get readers to your site. However, effectively using twitter to get noticed is more art than science. It is far too easy to do it wrong and waste a lot of time and effort. But why should you consider using Twitter to promote your business:
Ease of Use For Others
It is incredibly easy to use, no need to be a techno junkie. Also it promotes an atmosphere that allows people to relax and socialize about anything and everything and as a result creates an environment where people naturally tend to be less resistant. This type of atmosphere tends to make people more receptive to your sales message and is a significant reason why many are using twitter for promotional purposes.
Availability of Many Free Apps
There are so many different and very useful applications, most of which are free, that you can use to make more efficient use of your efforts and time.
