We all used to think Facebook was for kids; I'm with you I used to think the same thing as well, but it's time to change our thinking. There are many companies using Facebook to market and seeing success in doing so.
Consider the following statistics provided by O’Reilly Media. Between September 2008 and February 2009...

• The number of Facebook users between the ages of 35 and 44 increased by 51%
• Facebook users among the ages 45-54 grew by 47%
• Facebook users ages 26-34 increased by 26%
• More than half of the 140 million Facebook users are out of college

As you can see Facebook is no longer for just college students. Why should you use Facebook as a marketing tool? The answer is easy; you can use Facebook to gain new clients, stay in touch with current clients and promote new products and sales offers. You can also use it to create buzz and PR that is specific about your business.
How do you do this? Facebook offers you many tools, to be successful in marketing your business you must have an understanding of these tools. In this article we will look at two in particular:

Quantifying Your Marketing Efforts

By Laura Lake , About.com Guide

It's true we spend marketing dollars to display at trade shows, to attend events, to hold conferences, and to produce marketing material for campaigns.
How do we know what we are getting in return? How can we quantify the results to make sure they are worth the revenue spent?
This may seem like an easy question, however it's one that I am asked often. I have seen companies that don't even quantify their marketing efforts. Let me just say that's a big mistake. While marketing can be in the most part trial and errors you can diminish errors by actually using calculations to see which campaigns are bringing in the most results for the money.

Understanding the Role of Social Media in Marketing

By Laura Lake , About.com Guide 

What the heck is social media and what role does it play in my marketing? This is probably a question I wouldn't have received two years ago, but yet today it's the most common question that enters my inbox.
First off, let's talk about what social media is. Social media represents low-cost tools that are used to combine technology and social interaction with the use of words. These tools are typically internet or mobile based. A few that you have probably heard of include Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and YouTube.
Social media gives marketers a voice and a way to communicate with peers, customers and potential consumers. It personalizes the "brand" and helps you to spread your message in a relaxed and conversational way.
