<h2>How word-of-mouse spreads your ideas for free</h2>
<p><strong>Imagine</strong> you’re the head of marketing at a theme park, and you’re charged with<br />
announcing a major new attraction. What would you do?</p>
<p>Well, the old rules of marketing suggest that you pull out your wallet. You’d probably spend<br />
millions to buy your way into people’s minds, interrupting them with TV spots, billboards<br />
by the side of the highway, and other “creative” Madison Avenue advertising techniques.<br />
You’d also hire a big PR agency, who would beg the media to write about your attraction.<br />
The traditional PR approach requires a self-congratulatory press release replete with company<br />
muckety-mucks claiming that the new attraction will bring about world peace by bringing<br />
families closer together.</p>
<p>That’s not what Cindy Gordon, vice president of new media and marketing partnerships at<br />
Universal Orlando Resort, did when she launched The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.<br />
Other large entertainment companies would have spent millions of dollars to interrupt<br />
everyone in the country with old-rules approaches: Super Bowl TV ads, blimps, direct mail,<br />
and magazine ads. Instead, Gordon told just seven people about the new attraction.</p>
<p>And those seven people told tens of thousands.</p>
<p>Then mainstream media listened to those tens of thousands and wrote about the news in<br />
their newspaper and magazine articles, in TV and radio reports, and in blog posts. Gordon<br />
estimates that 350 million people around the world heard the news that Universal Orlando<br />
Resort was creating The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park.</p>
<h3><strong>ALL BY TELLING JUST SEVEN PEOPLE.</strong></h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Facebook is turning out to be a great resource for companies that are trying to get more exposure on the social web. The speed at which the internet has grown can be attributed to the rate at which social sites like Facebook and Twitter have grown. The reason why Facebook is working out so well for companies in developing their business and getting targeting marketing is because it’s made of people, and people drive companies. In the following article we shall be discussing three effective tips on how your business can use Facebook for its own advantage.

Gaining a high altitude overview will be of immense value to you. The rest of the document will provide you with a few more essential factors to bear in mind.</p>
<p>First, make sure visitors aren’t landing on your wall page on Facebook. You need a dedicated landing page that is customized for your business and this is the page you want to send your traffic to. Once you’ve created this page it becomes your default landing area.</p>
<p>This is something you can easily change by going into your settings and directing the tab to the landing page you want instead. Like most pages, you can follow the same principles to customize this one. Your landing page needs to let visitors know what’s in it for them if they follow you and the layout and design needs to be user friendly and comfortable. Inform visitors that you want them to “like” your page. Facebook has it’s own set of tools such as social ads that you can utilize to find your target audience before taking the plunge. You don’t need to aim into the dark with tools that allow you to search for people by age, gender and interests among other things. Gaining exposure for your business is what makes Facebook a great haven for online marketers. You can use the tools provided by Facebook to find out the demographics and target your prospects effectively. Do you have any ideas at this point?

At times it can be tough to get a clear picture until you discover more. If you are uncertain about what is required for you, then just take a better look at your specific situation.</p>
