Intencity Global – PR & Marketing Firm in NYC
Uses Facebook for client events. Sends invites thru Facebook and invited friends & fans on Facebook to spread the word.
Sent reminders about the event regularly – all thru Facebook. Doubled the amount of traffic expected at the open house. This resulted in greater than expected sales.
Posted pictures of the event afterwards and blasted the attendees thru Facebook which brought traffic back to Facebook to comment on the photos and give valuable feedback about the event.
![Page 22: "Basic Facebook for Multifamily Marketers: Getting Up and Running" - Becca Wilson (Spherexx) at 2009 Apartment Internet Marketing Conference](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070300/54420643afaf9f5a208b485c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Junnoon – Indian Restaurant in Palo Alto, CA
Setup a company page on Facebook with basic information – address, hours, prices, photos, coming events as well as reviews from local newspapers, Zagat, etc.
Facebook visitors to Junnoon’s page can opt to become a “fan” on the company page, instead of just a friend, which gives them access to make reservations directly from the page. Reservations are sales they can count on and track as sales directly resulting from Facebook.
Junnoon also has a pay per click campaign with Facebook at a minimum of $5.00 per day to drive additional targeted traffic to their Facebook page.

Example of a “Fan” Page in Facebook
Fan pages are open to the public so they get indexed with Google fairly quickly.
Always a positive to be indexed (listed) with Google.

How to maximize your Facebook exposure & enhance your brand with the Facebook audience to reap rewards?
![Page 34: "Basic Facebook for Multifamily Marketers: Getting Up and Running" - Becca Wilson (Spherexx) at 2009 Apartment Internet Marketing Conference](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070300/54420643afaf9f5a208b485c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The Exponential Power of a Resident Referral Program on Facebook
The average Facebook user has 120 friends on the website. 200 million Facebook users available.
Ask your residents to send out a resident referral broadcast to their friends which is a POWERFUL endorsement.
100 residents x 120 friends each = 12,000 prospects would see a trusted “friend endorsed” introduction to your apartment community. If just 1% of these friends leased at your community, then you’d have 120 new leases.
![Page 35: "Basic Facebook for Multifamily Marketers: Getting Up and Running" - Becca Wilson (Spherexx) at 2009 Apartment Internet Marketing Conference](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070300/54420643afaf9f5a208b485c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Your Facebook strategy is dictated by your target audience.
• Document demographic information about each community.
• Study website traffic stats for clues about your audience.
• Research 3rd party tools like Quantcast.com and Compete.com
![Page 36: "Basic Facebook for Multifamily Marketers: Getting Up and Running" - Becca Wilson (Spherexx) at 2009 Apartment Internet Marketing Conference](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070300/54420643afaf9f5a208b485c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Why use “events” in Facebook?
• Import your address book from your blackberry, mail software provider, etc to invite everyone you know.
• Use “the more the merrier” by asking invitees to invite their own friends.
• Invitees are encouraged to RSVP and invitees can also see how many are coming and who is on the list which is motivating.
• Facebook sends email reminders before the event to the invitees email address on record. Keeps your name in front of your Facebook friends.
• Send email blasts from within Facebook telling invitees to return to Facebook to see photos from the event.

Why is it valuable to use Facebook Connect on YOUR website or an Internet Listing Website like Rent.com?
Juicy profile information about the website visitor – profile information you could NEVER get them to give you upfront while they are shopping for an apartment!

Facebook Opens Homepage Stream
Facebook is availing the homepage/profile stream, where users receive updates about other users, to third party developers.
This means developers will be able to build offerings that "talk to" the status, links, notes and videos that users have uploaded onto Facebook.
Now, you'll be able to view your stream and publish information into it from places you never could before — like your desktop computer or your mobile phone. Your stream will appear just as it does on Facebook.com.
