Facebook Places offers you yet another free way to promote your business using social media. Most popular with mobile devices, such as iPhones with the Facebook application, Facebook Places allows a user to “sign in” at a specific location, which might be your store or restaurant or bar. When they sign in, they will be presented with a list of other nearby locations to choose from. As well as that, when they “sign in” their location will be posted on their Facebook page so that all of their friends can see it.

This immediately gives your business two great opportunities to promote itself. Firstly, when a Facebook Places user signs in to somewhere in your area, and secondly, when they automatically tell all their frie4nds that they just signed in to your place.

It's easy to get your business listed on Facebook Places. Just get the Facebook application, go to your office or store and from the Places menu, click “Sign In”. You can then create a new location and fill it with information about your business.

Even if you don't have an iPhone, just ask a friend who does to come and create your location for you or you can sign using your existing Facebook account by following this link: http://touch.facebook.com/

Facebook Places just started a week or two ago, and it has a long way to go to catch up to Foursquare. (which is a similar thing but has been around for a year or two.) But I'm confident that with the number of users on the Facebook system this platform will develop quickly. It won't be long before you can add special offers and incentives to people who sign in to your Facebook Place, and linking the place to your Facebook page is almost certainly the next step from Facebook.
