Facebook shows some love for local businesses with Facebook Places
Now when you create a location-based page for your local business, users can “check-in” when they are there further exposing your business to their network. You can even buy ads based on “Places”. Small businesses should try to allocate at least some of their day to fostering these types of programs. They’re very low maintenance and have a big potential upside given the size of Facebook’s network. Facebook Places is another great tool for small business marketers.
