A large and growing portion of some of themost valuable demographics are spendingmore of their time and attention onFacebook and less on other channels andmedia. Not only are US college students andteenagers fully engaged in Facebook, but adults, professionals, and people fromaround the world now constitute a substantial portion of the Facebook user base aswell. At the beginning of 2009, 150 million people worldwide were on Facebook, withabout 500,000 new people joining each day.However, most marketers lack a comprehensive understanding of the vast array ofexplicit and implicit marketing channels Facebook offers – many of which havechanged with the “new” Facebook design - and most of which are “viral.” My goalhere is to provide an introduction to what’s possible on Facebook to the spectrum ofmarketers - from brand advertisers to volunteer grassroots evangelists. Tactics aredivided into three categories: tools for guerilla marketers, tools for advertisers, andtools for application developers. Throughout and after each section, I’ve offeredrecommendations for your Facebook campaign strategy.Facebook offers many ways to get the word out and enable engagement with yourbrand in more compelling ways than were ever before possible on the web.
