Facebook & MySpace Marketing Poll - TanToday - Helping Salon Owners, One At A Time, Since 2000!

Alan @ TanToday · 11th August 2008, 11:10 AM

OK, who is utilizing Facebook and MySpace to get new customers?

How is it going for you?

You can vote for more then one choice.

JustTans23 · 11th August 2008, 11:21 AM

The problem with facebook is you can't have a profile for your salon page. ( I did and they deleted it) You have to havea group and then market that way with it.

Myspace has been big for us. We look up clients email addresses when they give them to us add them and then start adding their friends. We encourage myspace friends to subscribe to our blog to find out news and specials first

JustTans23 · 11th August 2008, 11:30 AM

ooo I never even thought to look up my clients emails

EliteMike · 11th August 2008, 11:33 AM

facebook is leaving a lot of money on the table as far as direct marketing goes. I want to be able to target my local HS. It can't be done

tuscantan · 11th August 2008, 12:01 PM

I use facebook for personal use....and have info about the salon on there, website, updates, but that is about it....not a whole lot of people are on facebook...as far as myspace...it has a bad rap around here, so I don't use it.

JustTans23 · 11th August 2008, 12:04 PM

I had my facebook for about 3 months before it got deleted and I got more business from that than I have from my myspace in the 2 years its been up

aeltiger · 11th August 2008, 12:05 PM

We use myspace. We don't get a lot of new people from it, but we do get a lot of people who respond to specials we post and info we post about responsible tanning! Thats a start!

I had a facebook ad. Wasn't worht it for me. When they deleted my salons profile, I deleted my ad.

EliteMike · 11th August 2008, 01:38 PM

Alan, that is still the same old options, They don't let you drill into a network.

solman · 11th August 2008, 01:41 PM

Need to add the poll option of don't use, and don't plan to use, either.

JustTans23 · 11th August 2008, 01:52 PM

It's not like the poll counts anyway

Alan @ TanToday · 11th August 2008, 02:38 PM

The entire thread is for those interested in Facebook or Myspace.

As for poll counting or not counting, they all count and all have their purposes. This one is to see who is using the above to grow your salons.

They are simply an area to advertise and get clients by branding your salon online for that target market. They should be part of a strategy and NOT THE strategy.

npeifer · 12th August 2008, 10:34 AM

OK so why doesn't everybody put up a link to their own myspace site so that others can gather ideas from it ?

Also it was my understanding that as a business you had to pay for your myspace page ? Am I wrong ?

JustTans23 · 12th August 2008, 10:35 AM

I don't pay for mine.

Mine was never finished, neither was my website, but anyways there it is.

Myspace annoys me, any webpage that plays music annoys me.

I would think which ever is more used in your area will be the one with better results. Facebook and nexopia is used most here.
