When you create your Facebook business page, don't leave any information blank. What if a customer wants to call your office but you did not put up a phone number? It's a lost deal.

A complete About description, address and contact numbers also gives the impression that you are serious with your Facebook business page.

This doesn't necessarily mean that you have to spend money with Facebook advertisements just to increase the likes of your page. There are many ways to promote your Facebook business page to your potential customers.

Some ideas are the following:

• include your custom Facebook Page URL in your posters, business cards, and wrappers
• tell your friends about it
• find bloggers who are willing to review your product

5. Vary Your Posts

Facebook says photos receive the most likes but I think you should vary your posts.

Post photos of your products, events and share photos from your customers who are using your product.

You should also post text only status updates and there are also polls and questions that makes your customers engage with your page. It might even start a debate which is good for your page. Just make sure that the debate stays educational and informative.

Don't forget to post Notes of your frequently asked questions too. For example, mobile phone companies often post guides in installing apps to their products.

Finally, upload videos of your events especially if your customers are involved.
