Services :: Social Media
Page Mine encourages you to use your website in conjunction with free blogs and other social media — such as Facebook and Twitter — to provide more information to your existing customers and bring new customers to your business. Nobody knows what the future holds — but you should invest some time to figure out how these sites can benefit your business.
Blogs
For a decade, blogs have allowed authors to write short stories about topics that might interest other people. People can visit the blog to see if there are any new stories — or they can use newsreading software that monitors the RSS Feeds they are interested in.
You can also use the feed from your blog to add content to your website:
- The Mortgage Centre uses free software from WordPress to write stories on their blog at www.MortgageAware.com
- The application also creates an RSS Feed which contains some information about each story
- We added an application to their main site to use the info from the feed to incorporate links to the stories into the bottom of their main website at www.MortgagesBC.ca
News feeds (rss feeds) took off in a big way when Facebook decided to use them to keep people informed about what their friends were doing — including interacting with your website or facebook page.
Public Facebook Pages for businessses are like private profiles for people.
Most people and businesses on Facebook have figured out how to write on their own Walls — which were actually designed for their visitors to write on — and add photo galleries.
Promote your business using Facebook Pages
- Facebook actually offers offers hundreds of applications — some specifically designed to help businesses.
- Facebook also lets you control which application tab is highlighted when you get a new visitor. For example, their Resources application tab will be highlighted if you go to the facebook page for Facebook Pages.
- Get a short name for your facebook page like www.facebook.com/clearviewglass
- We are creating our own facebook page to provide more facebook tips.
