Facebook for Business “Plus” More Tools for Social Media Marketing

Facebook for Business “Plus”

Facebook has launched a new portal called “Facebook for Business,” where you can “learn how to grow your business with Facebook’s powerful marketing tools.”  Judging by the portal’s main page, the site wants to help businesses create their pages quickly in order to start spending on ad campaigns ASAP.

The timing of Facebook’s new marketing section couldn’t be better…for Facebook. Google Plus launched just over a month ago in limited beta testing and has quickly grown to over 20 million users. Google Plus poses an obvious threat to Facebook’s dominance in the social networking world; as it increases in size and scope, it will also inevitably offer robust adverting options for small businesses.

Facebook’s new format is a big improvement over the old one, which was confusing (especially to those who aren’t tech savvy or knowledgeable about online marketing) and cluttered with links; however, it doesn’t offer any new options. It’s essentially a condensed, simple to scan overview of existing “how-to” resources, created to help businesses create pages and buy ad space as quickly and easily as possible.

Small Business Tip

If you’re new to social media marketing, the new Facebook for Business section is great place to learn about what opportunities exist on Facebook to promote your business!
