With the help of Facebook’s rich and customizing development features companies interact with the mass and encourage them for their active participation. Mediums like voting poll, video share, survey forms (to accept visitors input on surveys or feedback), picture share, and blog appeal individuals in a big way.

Accurately enter your academic details like High School, College/University, Employment details like current employer, and your city. Though you may compromise with other details (activities, interests, sports, hobbies, favorite quote, political view, philosophy etc), it’s recommender to complete your profile for a better look. Remember don’t express your extreme views on your profile. Your profile picture should be your. Don’t upload celebrity and irrelevant images. And finally make your email ID public (visible to all) with above details.
Be an active member.
Be an active member of company profile. Sound intelligent with your to-the-point and relevant comments. Brief appreciating comments are always safe if you not sure about a long one. Do wish them for their success (you don’t have act like a prophet, be casual and cool) and on special occasions. Try to be the first member to wish them or comment them on their posts. Incase you miss, post a brief message. Don’t sound like buttering.
Never post directly on their wall post. Remember it’s for their official use. Your comment must follow their topic. Do don’t post irrelevant links, pictures, videos etc.
Also join their associated pages (likes) which are flashed on the left side, just below their profile picture, basic links and strength.
Companies also post links of their direct blogging sites. You can join those pages. Additionally you may subscribe to their newsletters for lengthy discussions and articles related to their company.
