Facebook Places

17. So new, we have not even taken it out of the box.

At this point, Facebook Places is simply another geo-social offering, but with huge potential.

Even a fraction of 500 million people would create a large impact in the space. However, the adoption is still to be determined…

So, for the short term, claim and monitor.

18. Claim your place.

If you have a physical business location, begin the process to claim your Facebook Place page.

We have heard a variety of timelines for receiving authentication and none have been anything close to quick.

19. Monitor the comments, content and general chaos.

Facebook Places means more content about your business.

Reviews, tips, check-ins…monitor the information being created and respond accordingly.

20. Facebook = Customer Service

Understand the the potential impact of Facebook Places also means a shift in online customer service for your business.

Again, with so many users, Facebook Places could quickly become the main point of contact for many of your consumers.
