Like the millions of other people worldwide you most likely have already been sucked into the time warp of Facebook--at least on a personal level. Every now and again I will come across the person that refuses to accept the social networking world. You know, the person that you stare at just a little too long in disbelief. We all have these people in our lives. The ones that refuse to jump on board any web 2.0 concept.
"It's child's play" my middle-aged friend Tom told me one day. This of course is coming from the person who was the last known man to get a cell phone. To date he still yells into the phone like the other person can't hear him. Well I am here to tell you and all the Toms in the world that Facebook is not just some passing trend that is going away anytime soon. Facebook is a movement that is re-shaping our personal lives and most importantly how we do business. I do give Tom credit. He resisted Facebook until his mother "Grandma Patty" opened up a Facebook account and according to her "rules the Farmville world" amongst her Shuffleboard and Cribbage Club friends.
Once Tom started his personal Facebook page the Facebook Floodgates burst open. Relatives, First-Loves, High school Buddies and Childhood Friends invaded Tom with friend requests. He went from zero friends to 200 friends in a week's time. He reached Facebook euphoria and then flat-lined. After the "catching up" with people and the shock of how some people aged or didn't age wore off there was nothing left for Tom--or so he thought.....
TURBO TOMMY'S TAKES OVER
It is important to provide you with a little background on Tom. Tom is a prototype of a middle class 45 year old. He has a beautiful wife, has 2 children, he is a small business owner and until recently has just been getting by without any advertising or marketing. Tom thought that just accepting that the bakery down the street did more business than him just meant that his business had run it's course. Little did Tom know that there are opportunities in the social networking world as a business owner that just weren't available to him before. After an in-depth conversation with Tom and how there is more to life on Facebook than Farmville and catching up with old friends the birth of TURBO TOMMY'S TAKE OVER campaign became a reality. Tom can now be found on Facebook and is regarded as a trusted expert in his business field...and he didn't have to conquer Farmville to get there.
Check out the 10 reasons why your business, like Tom's, should be on Facebook.
