If you own a Facebook Fan Page and you don’t know yet, here are 3 updates from the last few weeks that you should REALLY know about:

1. “LIKES” CLEANUP. Facebook believes and acts according to relevancy. As you might agree, one of the definitions for a “relevant” user on Facebook is an active user. Nobody (including Facebook) really knows how many fake profiles exist on Facebook but there’s an understanding that these profiles only damage the platform’s dynamism and authenticity, even if allegedly these users “help” Facebook to increase the total number of Facebook users. As for inactive users, the principal is more or less the same but in this case, Facebook can identify them more easily and therefore “clean” them away from the Facebook for business’s platform. On March 5^thFacebook announced a removal process of inactive users’ “LIKES” from pages that ended March 12^th. If you saw a decrease in your Facebook page likes count, this is the reason. if you had a small decrease on your page’s number of fans, congrats, your "LIKES" were well targeted! If you had a big decrease, well… On one side, it’s not the best news of the month, but on the other hand, congrats! You got rid of irrelevant users on your page and can now focus on the ones that are really relevant!

Your marketing department is one of the most important departments in your business. Without it, people won’t know your product exists. With it, your sales can grow significantly big. Here are 7 guidelines to help you improve your marketing:

1. PLAN IT! It might sound obvious but it’s not. Yes, we know, it’s hard to plan, the income figures change along the year, unplanned stuff happen, etc. etc.. If you have a business plan, you should have a marketing plan. If you don’t know how to build one, use people who know how to. You don’t want to end up in the end of the year with over exceeded marketing cost spent due to your non-existence-marketing-plan approach. If you want a rule of thumb - marketing yearly expense should be between 5% and 20% of the company’s sales turn over. This is an average range and of course it changes a lot from one company to another and from one project to another (for example, launching a new product vs. advertising an existent one). Bottom line is – you need to spend money in order to make money.

Imagine you’re driving to an important meeting, one that was scheduled a while ago. One of your kids is sick at home with a babysitter and you need to check up on what’s going on in the office once every two hours.

And then, your car brakes down in the middle of the highway. What do you do?

Well, you use caution with your car and signaling you’re stuck. You call the important meeting to say you’re running a bit late, call the car service to come pick up the car, call a taxi through a number you find online, call the babysitter to check up on your child, call the office and say you’ll probably won’t make it back to the office but you ask to be updated on WhatsApp/SMS in any matter. Also, you schedule a Skype with the office manager to synchronize on some issues that you were supposed to be synced on right after the meeting.

That was a bummer, but everything turned out well, you even made it home earlier to your child. You handled it very well, everything’s under control.

Now, imagine the same situation exactly, just take it back 50 years ago. What do you do now?

We’ve already mentioned in our latest blog post the amount of websites currently running and growing in the world is huge. Whereas we appreciate the effort of anyone to build a website and/or an app, we want to bring up one of the most important principals in this process (sometimes forgotten or not well paid attention to) - the user experience, also known as UX.

Here’s a very simple example – did it ever happen that you went on a website, clicked one of the icons and reached the 404 page? Meaning, you reached nowhere? Did you ever go on your mobile to a website that didn’t fit your mobile’s screen? It was annoying, ah?
