Hi Rod

I always like to refer to my local bus company campaign when this comes up.

On the buses they have ads asking you to like them on Facebook, but have no real strategy attached to it; instead its a place where the audience seem to complain instead of maybe getting an offer or getting up to date service information. Its clearly a misunderstood medium for them.

So unless there is a genuine offer (or reason) attached to the likes I find it hard to suggest it to anyone if they are just seeking 'people to like us' therefore raise our profile/ provide a stat I can take to a meeting (we have a zillion likes on facebook but we don't really like SNs)

Instead, a page on LinkedIN would be better, at least its company oriented and you could get some followers to take an interest in what you actually do rather than this late joining of FB. 

Cheers

Hi all.
 
It seems to me that FB likes were only ever understood as genuine endorsements for a very short while  - now they are perceived with banner blindness blinkers.
 
My boss recently decided (after years of not wanting to participate with SNs) that we should put a company FB page up. The next step is of course to get the 30 likes.
 
A quick search shows me that there are lots of people willing to give me my 30 likes for a couple of bucks. I don’t feel like playing this game. I mean how many people seriously visit FB corporate company pages..
 
Can someone motivate me here ? Or not really…?
 
Thanks
 
Rodders.
