If brand promotion is the sole purpose of your online presence and activity, it needs to be promoted among your fans and followers. Your Facebook Page is the best online portfolio for your brand. Several promotional measures are there to let you take the brand portfolio to your Facebook fan base.  Some of them are as following &#8211;    </p>
<p>Viewing photos, images and videos is not enough for viewers to take interest in your Facebook Page. Content is as important in Facebook as in other online social media like Twitter. Entertain your fans and followers with interesting content on Facebook Page. Users who keep returning to your Facebook page on regular basis may become your customers. Repetition of this trick is an effective measure in the field of virtual economies. Content is one of the dimensions of an engaging Facebook Page.</p>
<p>Reposting information is similarly fruitful as retweet. You can pay the best compliment to your visitor’s comment on your brand by reposting the comment. It draws attention of your visitors to you. Reposting what other users post returns more than what you expect. It puts a face on your brand. Though it drastically increases your follower base, overusing the trick may go reverse.        </p>
<p>Monitoring the conversation that you have with your customers and visitors within your Facebook Pages is extremely important. It is similarly important to keep spirit of the conversation alive. Keep the spark of the conversation high by throwing questions to users, raising new topics on discussion forums and doing similar other activities. These conversational tactics are sure to help your users find their way back to your Facebook Page. What adds value to your practice of this trick is persistence.  </p>
<p>Tagging your users in videos and photos is a promotional activity that attributes an engaging dimension to your Facebook Page.  Getting content to tag your fans in is the only challenge to face. You can get the photos of your fan by introducing a contest to the fan page. Implement creative measures to tag him or her. The more tagging you do the quicker will your Facebook get promoted. </p>
<p>Events are a wonderful opportunity to promote your Facebook Page among your online friends and fans. These events may be virtual events. Post content on your company events to let your customers keep up with you in Facebook Page. </p>
<p>These promotional measures are no less effective than SEO strategies. So, have a go at them right now.     </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://blog.seotown.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/image_12-300x229.jpeg" alt="brand promotion" title="brand promotion" width="300" height="229" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-283" />Facebook as a platform for online brand promotion has experienced a meteoric rise in the number of its users. Facebook has launched Facebook Pages which companies can use as their portfolios to have a rich experience of online social media marketing. Facebook pages come with a slew of options for companies to promote and market their brands among large numbers of Facebook users. Only engaging Facebook pages can fetch new customers in a bulk and keep existing ones engaged. So, I have assorted ten tips on how to create engaging Facebook pages-</p>
<p>It is of immense importance to advertise your brand on Facebook Pages. Advertising the brand has a lot of potential for your business promotion. Linking to specific tabs is a great feature of this latest release of Facebook. You can create separate pages for two different groups of your profile viewers on the basis of their geographic locations. For instance, you can display one advertisement for the users from New York and another for the users from London. The customization of tabs for custom ads on Facebook pages is fruitful for smaller scale brands and companies.</p>
<p>Page image is the most important part of a Facebook Page. A brand image is an index to your company reputation in the market. A 200 pixel wide box with an engaging and exclusive photo of your brand or product on the Facebook Page is the first thing that most users take note of. It leaves an enduring impression on your visitors. It serves as not only your profile but page photo on Facebook.</p>
<p>Facebook offers as many as 55,000 applications to let you make the most of your profile or page as a bet for Facebook visitors. Your Facebook Page rich in functional applications is sure to steal the show with your profile viewers. I recommend the use of dynamic content applications for large-scale companies to keep users hooked on their Facebook Page for long hours.       </p>
<p>The days of one-way communication are gone with an evolution of non-verbal conversation on social networking platforms. Facebook offers its users an opportunity to interact with their followers.  You should comment on the comments on your photos, videos, products or brand from others. Failing to interact with potential customers means losing a chunk of revenue. It is not that you will only reply to the questions of your customers. You can make questions to them as well.</p>
<p>Keep eyes to my next blog featuring more techniques of creating engaging Facebook Pages as brand portfolios for business promotion. </p>
