Experimenting with Facebook Pages for Companies

I am now experimenting with a Page in Facebook for my company, JibberJobber. Why?
Because one of my favorite people in the world, Sudha Jamthe, created it for me and more-than-nudged me to get it moving!
I’ve wanted to do this for a while, and it’s slowly creeping up my to do list, but when Sudha put the Page together and invited me to be an admin, I knew it was time to make this happen.
Why?
Because I’ve missed plenty of opportunities this last year because I haven’t had the right strategy in place.
Seriously… I have missed a ton of opportunities to grow my business because I haven’t used Facebook correctly.
But as we move forward, I’ll write about it, and hopefully this will provide a good basis for you to develop your own Facebook Page strategy.
Oh yeah, and if you want to see it as it develops, simply become a fan at our official JibberJobber Facebook Page!

Hey Jason..
Good luck! I’m trying to do the same thing for my little company too.
One trick i’m trying out now is to create a domain which redirects to the facebook fan page. It’ll increase a bit of branding (i hope).
My main website is MyLittleBirthdayPage.com, i created a subdomain facebook.MyLittleBirthdayPage.com, which redirects to the facebook fan page.

I am trying to create a facebook page for my organization. Where can I go to do that, other than where one creates a personal account?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Amy, it’s kind of a hidden “feature” that is rather misplaced.
Simply click on “advertise” at the bottom of any page, and you’ll see the option to create a Page. It’s free… not sure why they stuck it under the advertise link :p

Thanks, I was able to figure it out from your instruction. I appreciate your help.

Hi Jason! Betsy from Bennington here. Each of the administrators in my office have their own Facebook pages to out reach to students in their “space.” I just recently created a page of our office. Is there a way to make some sort of “quick link” to the office page and vice versa on our pages? Thanks a bunch- I love your site!

Betsy, in your Page’s settings, assuming it’s the right type of Page (see my previous post on the different Page types), there should be an option to enter a website address or two. You can just put your office web addresses there and they should appear as links on your Facebook Page. To do vice-versa, just copy and paste the URL for your Facebook Page into your company website and you’ll be set.
