Facebook is certainly allowing small businesses to survive and thrive for many people…proving it is no longer just for kids!

Take for example one lady from Canada.  Gerene Murphy, in a little town called Windsor in Canada…sells perogies for $7 a dozen via Facebook that she 'cooks up from home'!

To earn some extra money, Ms. Murphy began selling her perogies to friends and family for around $7 a dozen and then set up a Facebook page and uses the classifieds site Kijiji to advertise them. (see source below)

Maria Gudelis trend prediction:  Facebook name games:  Those who grab their business name first on Facebook wins!

"That's how to make sure your business name and brand doesn't get 'stolen' away from you"…

Jiminy Cricket!

Another perogy business in Facebook having 'branding issues'…But what is MORE SHOCKING…is the FIGHT over the business name, Perogy Princess!

Powerful marketing and branding…One of the biggest benefits of using FREE social media sites…

The main question a lot of executives that I deal with every day is this, “Maria, what will be my return on investment if I do this?”
 
Because the dilemma that a lot of marketing executives are in right now is they are bombarded with so many options, so many different marketing channels to invest their marketing dollars into, they want to be sure that this just isn’t a passing fad. (more…)
