Use Facebook's Places application to give your clients discounts and create a community around your company's physical location

Facebook has a new application that can help you generate more business to your
company's storefront.  If your company has a physical location, use your iPhone
or other supported device (ie, Blackberry) and go to places.facebook.com

Then, search for your store's location.  If it exists, claim it as yours.  If it
doesn't exist, create a new location for it and then search for it and claim it
as yours.

Facebook Places will call your location to make sure that you are the owner of
it.  You officially have a Facebook Places account!  Congrats!

Now, you can start combining the power of your existing customers and your
online customers.  Try posting a sign in your store giving customers a discount
if they log into Facebook Places and post that they are currently at your store
(this way, all of their friends will see that they are there, creating free
advertising for you).

Next, create some discounts or coupons to use with Facebook Places.  For
example, you can encourage your clients to refer their friends to you by
offering a special incentive to anyone who refers someone through Facebook
Places.  There are 4 types of discounts you can offer, depending on who you
target.

Geotargeting is growing in leaps and bounds online.  Get in now and watch your
business grow.

Yours for online success!
