This document discusses how businesses can leverage social media, specifically Facebook, to connect with customers in a digital world. It begins with an agenda that covers why social media is important, best practices for creating and publishing content on Facebook pages, using ads and sponsored stories, and helpful technology tools. Some key points include: friends and social proof influence purchase decisions; posting engaging photos and videos along with regularly engaging questions generates more interactions; and advertising and apps can help drive sales and actions both on and off Facebook. The presentation provides specific Vietnamese examples and emphasizes how localization is important for relevance.

Editor's Notes
These changes are having a profound impact – this is a revolution that’s touching every aspect of our lives and reshaping our lives and there’s a real worry about this. People worry, will we ever talk to each other again? Will I have two teenagers in the back of a car that are texting each other? We believe that not perfectly, not in every situation but for the most part, this technology is bringing us much closer together. By hearing from my friends in the daily activities of their lives, in the small stuff, in the stuff that doesn’t seem like it would matter, I actually get a much fuller picture of their lives because it’s in that real-time sharing that the fullness of their experience comes out. Over the course of what social media is doing, what technology is doing, this is changing our ability to interact with each other and reshaping the way we can live our lives as part of a social network.
