I work at Little River Pet Resort. It is basically a doggy day (week, month) care. We specialize in personalized care for dogs for families who want more out of a kennel for their dogs. We try to make families pets feel as though they are on a mini-vacation as well. However, this Facebook page just got started. Although it is a local business in my community, we have a strong client-ell. We get customers from all over Ohio. We offer a lot of different options for owners, however, they are not listed on the Facebook page. They are listed on the site created for the business. I would normally think that all of the extra information that is needed should be listed on the Facebook page as well, but I think in this case, they list a good enough amount of information to make the Facebooker want to click on their real website. When facebook is used for businesses, you can't necessarily include every possible thing. Facebook is a simple social network, not something that should have paragraphs of information. They include daily uploads of photos of the guests staying there so families can check in on their pets, directions, reviews, hours, and the phone number. Using Facebook has actually boosted our client-tell. Pet owners feel more at ease when they can see if their pets are happy when away from home. LRPR is marketing themselves very well by using Facebook. However, I rank it #3 of the 3 I have chosen. Mostly because it is a local business and just started up it's Facebook.
TIDE
The Tide Facebook page is very informative. Not only are there free-giveaways, but they stay up-to-date as well. While listing all of Tide's signature products, they give you an overview on what Tide is all about. From when it was founded to the company facts, Tide on Facebook works out well. They have over 2 million "likes" and offer contests frequently. If the information given isn't enough..they offer their website as well. It even offers you to "Shop now." Tide on Facebook has all of the necessities for a potential Tide buyer. Most people know of Tide, but Facebook allows to interact as well! Tides Facebook is useful and I would rank it as the second best choice of the 3 facebooks.
Verizon
The Verizon Facebook page is another very good page. With 1,557,179 likes, 11,905 people talking about it on facebook, and 70,910 check-ins, Verizon has become one of the biggest names in wireless and 4G speed. The website leaves you with locations, promotions, photos, videos, shop tips, events, smartphone glossary's, and tons more. I think this Facebook is probably the most informative. It keeps you up to date with everything that is going on with Verizon. Not just cell-phone wise. What most people do not know is that Verizon has more to offer than just cell phone services. Their Facebook advertises all of their goods and products leaving a viewer understanding what Verizon is all about. On the business spectrum, I believe Verizon is probably the most profitable out of the 3 pages I've chosen.
Facebook Vs. Google+
Given the statistics, Google+ looks like it is giving Facebook a run for its money. With the simplicity of Google+..and the advancements coming into play with Facebook..Google+ may be able to put Facebook to shame. However, in the business perspective, what is going to happen?
Well, Google+ is HIGHLY popular in the bigger cities (New York City, Boston, Seattle, Chicago) And these bigger cities are cities of big business. Google+ started off with under 1 million users..and shortly it climbed to 10 million and is growing. Facebook holds the largest number to this day holding the top spot with 500 million users, but Google+ plus is definitely becoming a threat. Facebook allows for a lot of personality and a lot of information to be posted. Google is basic but now offers things that Facebook doesn't such as Circles. Google was once known for being the amazing search engine and that's all but now it is also being used as a social networking site. Facebook is only a social networking site. Google is the king of all search engines and may soon become the king of all social networking sites. The idea of Google+ is to make every Google product compatable. In the business world, this may boom. Google makes a lot of its money from advertisers. I think the future for Google+ will be bright and steal the business world. Facebook has a lot to offer, even for businesses, but with all Google+ has to offer..the possibilities are endless. Businesses use Google in everyday life..and now..they can use Google+ and integrate all of their resources and ad's into 1 social networking site. However, businesses will flock to where they have the better chance at. If Facebook remains top dog..they will stay close..but if Google+ preservers, Facebook may lose out.
What is Google+ ?
