Facebook provides many tools for businesses to connect with fans, including brand pages, applications, sharing tools, and advertising. An effective Facebook strategy involves engaging existing fans, driving action like contests and offers, and adding scale through advertising and offline events. Success should be measured by metrics like fan growth, engagement, and actions taken. Key trends to watch include Facebook Connect, mobile social networking, and potential monetization of virtual gifts. Authentic engagement is important, and businesses should avoid spamming fans or ignoring feedback.

18. Facebook Tool Box
Facebook offers an ever-expanding array of tools for brands to connect with fans
• Brand Fan Pages
A Facebook Page is a public profile that enables you to share your business and products
with Facebook users. Pages are similar to personal profiles and brands accumulate fans
instead of friends. Within pages you have the option of posting and collecting content,
importing Twitter and blog feeds, collecting user reviews, and hosting discussions.
• Applications
An application is a platform for developers which provides a framework to build tools which
Facebook users can add to their profile. Applications range from chat to games to mobile.
• Connect/Share
Facebook Connect and Facebook Share are additions to your brand’s existing web site or
blog which allow you to integrate their Facebook presence with other online media.
Facebook Connect is an open identifier which allows users to take their Facebook profile
with them when they shop, comment, or browse on other web sites.
• Advertising
Facebook offers banner advertising which can target age, gender, location, relationship
status and interest, or music and lifestyle interests.
