Facebook opens new platform for businesses

As Google+ is readying itself for business users who are seeing it as a marketing tool for corporate communication and sharing, Facebook too has introduced a new site to appeal business users.
According to the sources, the site, Facebook for Business, carefully assists users to make best use of Facebook’s marketing tools that comprise Ads, Social Plug-ins, Pages, Deals and Sponsored Stories.
The new site is the latest endeavor by Facebook to invite advertisers. It wants to encourage small businesses to promote their products through the new site.
Google+ has asked for some time to make itself more apt for the enterprise segment. Recently, it blocked the profiles of business groups saying that it is coming up with more secured network. And, Facebook has decided to take full advantage of this opportunity.
Many business groups are eying social media to build long-term relationships with customers.
Though Facebook is sought after by marketers, many have found the process of buying ads on the network complex, which has spawned a network of third-party agencies that specialize in placing ads on the network.
