Creating A Facebook Fan Page for Your Business

Ripon Main Street and the Chamber of Commerce will offer a free workshop to
businesses that are interested in establishing a Facebook Fan Page. The
workshop takes place on Tuesday, July 21st at 5:30 pm in Room 318 of Todd
Wehr Hall at Ripon College.

Facebook has not only become a place for people to connect and network, but
it has also become another avenue for businesses to connect, network and
promote their establishments. The main way to network on Facebook is by
creating a profile or even a group, which can be a little more professional
then just a profile. However, if you really want to network and promote your
business or organization, then creating a Facebook Fan Page is the best way
to do this. Those with an existing Facebook account can view the Ripon
Wisconsin Fan Page which is linked below.

The good news is it doesn't cost anything to create this page.

The evening will be presented in a hands-on fashion that allows businesses
to get started on Facebook by creating their own Fan Page. The workshop
takes place in the computer lab at Todd Wehr Hall and participants will have
access to the computers or can bring their own laptop. This workshop is best
suited for beginners.

Presenter Deano Pape has conducted a number of technology related
presentations at college and university campuses across the country. He is
an active member of Ripon's city council and has been a
Professor/Administrator at Ripon College for 12 years. Downtown Manager
Craig Tebon and Chamber Marketing Coordinator Angela Wiese will also be on
hand to provide assistance and guidance.
