Why You Want a Facebook Presence

A lot of businesses are still wondering why on earth they would want to have a profile or fan page on Facebook. In fact a huge number DON’T have any type of Facebook presence at all. So why would a wedding business want to have a fan page on Facebook? What is the draw that makes it worth your time? Well, let’s look at some statistics from a research video put together by Alex Trimpe. 1 in 13 people on the planet are on Facebook, and 71.2% of them are based in the United States. That means that at least 1/10 of your bride leads are on Facebook, and probably quite a few more. Also 48% of 18-34 year olds check Facebook right when they wake up. That means brides who are on Facebook probably are checking their news feed first thing in the morning. How does this impact you? Well basically it means that if you have a Facebook fan page and update your status  at least once a day you are getting a ton of free advertising to brides who are looking for vendors and services.
