It's safe to say A LOT of businesses, from Coca-Cola to that dodgy hairdresser on the corner of your street, have a Facebook page.
I'm sure if we were online marketeers or social media practitioners or 'Facebook experts' (LOL) then we'd be sat around discussing click through rates, return on investments, levels of engagement, numbers of followers and a whole host of other buzz words to gauge whether our Facebook page is proving useful or whether it's just a big waste of time.

Often we couldn't care less about these kinds of stats, we like Facebook pages that are designed for brands or businesses we already feel a bit of an affinity to, ones that look good, don't overtly sell sell sell to us, have cool competitions or share interesting stuff. Nice and simple.

At the moment the Facebook page is currently focused on responding to comments and raising awareness of something called Secret Lush.
