It’s been a while, but we’re back …

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! I love St. Patrick’s Day. It always brings out the “fun” in everyone, plus … it means Spring is right around the corner. Hallelujah!

Wow … long time no newsletter. I can’t believe it’s been 4 months since the last one. Boy have we been busy here at Fastype; so busy that the first quarter has almost come and gone. But, never fear … we’re back again, with another great article and some more of my favorite resources that I can’t wait to share with you.

Everyone is talking about social media right now. It has, without a doubt, become the hottest, fastest and easiest way to network, build relationships and market your business. It certainly is the most fun! Social media marketing is driven by websites and tools like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and Ning (just to name a few). Unlike traditional marketing where advertising and selling are the main components; social media marketing is relationship marketing. The key is to market your business by building relationships – hence the term “relationship marketing.” While I have to admit that Twitter is probably my favorite social marketing tool (it’s unbelievable what you can accomplish with 140 characters), Facebook is right up there at the top of my list … and the topic for this issue’s article – Ten Ways to Promote Your Facebook Page, by Facebook expert Mari Smith. In this article, Mari will share 10 easy ways to promote your Facebook page.

Not using social media marketing in your business yet? Give us a call and we’ll show you how easy it is. We can get you set up on the “big three,” Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn and help you establish a game plan and strategy to start using social media marketing in your own business.
