Websites such as Facebook help individuals connect with family, friends and professional contacts. Setting your club up with a business page does even more: It opens up a conversation with potentially tens of thousands of people about your organisation.
You can update them about any changes in your business, promote special offers or sales, network to find new contacts or members and create a place for your customers to talk
Setting up a business page on Facebook is easy once you know how.
- Go to www.facebook.com and click “Create a Page for a celebrity, band or business.” Clicking this link takes you to a new page.
- Click either “Local Business or Place” or “Company, Organization, or Institution” depending on the type of business for which you wish to create a page.
Most clubs would fall into the category of “Local Business or Place”. - Provide the required information for the type of page you selected. This may include the category of your business, its name and its location. Click the “I agree to Facebook Page Terms,” then “Get Started”.
- This opens a window prompting you to enter a certain set of characters into a box. Enter these characters as they appear, then click “Submit”.
- Click “I do not have a Facebook account” on the next page. Enter the required information – your email, password and birth date – and click “Sign Up Now!”. This takes you to your new business page.
- You can now add images and information to your page, suggest that your members become fans, promote events and much much more.
