Hi,

yes, I guess I need a facebook campaign. I know it sounds really silly but I am at a loss how to start. Like most I use Twitter a lot bu I have heard facebook can be very beneficial too, Is it just a case of setting up an account under the name of the business? And does anyone know of any useful apps that will get me noticed? Anyone tried facebook ads?

regards,

Jacob

I am currently looking into this for a site I have - facebook would not let me sign up without giving my personal name etc and know I have people I sort of know wanting to be friends.

I only want it as a business advertising tool - how can I achieve this?

Nobody knows. It would seem. I find this odd.

What I've done is set up a separate account for business, which then keeps personal and business contacts separate, and stops biz type posts going on your personal contacts walls.
