Facebook has 350 million active users and the number is growing daily. The average user has 130 friends and spends more than 55 minutes on Facebook each day. If you were an entrepreneur wouldn't you love to tap into this audience? You can by creating a Facebook gift application.
If you have a Facebook account you definitely were on the receiving end of a gift sent by one of your friends. Was it a mixed ****tail, a Christmas decoration, or a smiley face? Gift giving on Facebook is very popular. Why just say Hello to someone when you can do so with a gift as well. Imagine you just ate out and had the best deep-dish pizza ever. You are home sitting at your computer wishing you could have another bite. Surfing Facebook you search for the name of the pizza house and find that they have a gift application. You select the pizza you ordered and proceed to send a virtual pizza to all of your friends with a note saying you just ate there and it was the best pizza you tasted. You are a happy customer and you publish to your wall that you sent this virtual pizza to all your friends. Your friends are receiving notifications from Facebook that you sent them a gift. On accepting the gift they are brought to the gift application where they see the restaurant information and now they too can publish to their wall that they received a virtual pizza from you so their friends can see. By sending just one virtual pizza advertising of the restaurant is exploding all over Facebook as people see others sending and jump on board to send one as well. While most probably will not be in a situation to visit this restaurant due to geographic location it gets your name out there.
What if you had a brick and mortar store or a website that sold antique toys? Create a Facebook gift giving application adding as gifts some memorable toys that everyone can relate too. Within the application you have your website address and/or a physical street address as well. As Facebook users start sending gifts to each other from your application and posting to their walls so more and more people can see the gifts and remember when they had one of those. As new people come to the gift application to send their own gifts they notice your website and store information and sales come in as a result from your gift application on Facebook.
Even if you do not have a product you are selling you can still cash in on the gift-giving craze. Affiliates earn money by promoting merchants and receiving commission on sales they generate. Everyone has heard of Harry and David pears. They are the world's best tasting and can become the next popular gift to send on Facebook. Affiliates can join Harry and David's affiliate program and place their affiliate links and banners throughout the gift application. Add the merchant's products as gifts and let the revenue flow in as Facebook users send the virtual products to each other, but also visit your links and make purchases.
Using the gift giving application as a tool for marketing will greatly increase your exposure and the price is right. Facebook does not charge users to install applications on their Platform. The only cost associated with setting up your own gift application is the gift application software and web hosting for the application files.

Re: Marketing your business on Facebook
I know from my own personal experience that Facebook has become a part of my daily routine, I use it to keep up with current events, colleagues, family and friends. There are things I've heard on Facebook way before it ever hit the media waves. I've even downloaded a tool that updates me on Facebook status changes, just so I feel like I'm on top of what's going on in the world. It's true many of us thought that Facebook, was just for kids, but statistics are proving us wrong daily; a recent report showed that over half of the 140 million users on Facebook are out of college.

The Facebook page is a web page service provided by the Facebook website, which hosts a page for you free of cost. This gives you an opportunity and space to exemplify your organization's profile. Interested customers are provided with an option of becoming a fan of your page, which enables them to keep track of all your activities.
The Facebook fan option comes along with another attractive possibility. It acts as an endorsement and an indirect referral system, as friends of the customers who become a fan of your page, gets to see that and are exposed to your business.

Re: Marketing your business on Facebook
Hello Friends,
1.Click the "create page" tab at the bottom once you have completely filled all sections on the page. To continue creating your page you will be redirected to a webpage that asks whether you are a member of Facebook or not. If you are not then you have to create an account. But if you are already a member you only need to sign in.
2.Once you are taken to your Facebook page this is where things get interesting. You need to optimize the content of your Facebook webpage by indicating important details about your business. Take note to make use of the "photo upload" section to make your webpage look more professional and interesting. You can upload your business logo or brand there too. Do not skip writing the description of your company and your services. You need to provide as much information about your business to your readers as possible.
3.Once you have created good content on your web page you can then publish the page to go live for everyone to see and read. This is a good way of marketing your business and to be visible to millions of Facebook users.
4.Do not forget to invite your Facebook friends too. They are in fact your first potential customers. You can easily invite people you know to join you. This will help you get more traffic for your website and helps build a promotion and marketing strategy of making your business known to everyone. As your network of friends grows in your group you can be assured of getting more readers of your webpage. This potentially increases the possible market for your products and services.
5.Lastly, make sure to update your post on your Facebook web page account. This is essential to draw more visitors in your group and get better advertising benefits of your business.
Thanks
