Myanmar Businesses rather want a Facebook page than a website

The Facebook users in Myanmar have increased dramatically since 2010. Today more than 1 million of people in Myanmar use it, but this prediction is not an exact index. There is no organization in Myanmar to survey it. Anyway, most people came to know it than Google and Internet. When some buy a phone, they rather ask whether it could have Facebook than ask internet/mobile data. Then it became popular among Myanmar people not only in Yangon but also in other region, but Yangon is having the most populated user.

Web industry is also developing better than before 2010 also. But Facebook development took over it from the time being. As far as we searched and penetrated market for website and Social Media developing/ creation, they rather ask for creating a Facebook page. They even don’t care Google+, Twitter and so on and what the rest Social Media are. Then we also had to follow the market needs and we served for them creating, managing Facebook pages. As the web industry is developing also, we also serve it as a primary thing on the same level with Facebook. Decision and perspective of Myanmar businesses are also true because the number  who use it are bigger than the number who use Google. Then going and typing the direct URL of the company seems more rare.But there are also many people who goes direct URL, but they go news and media websites and blogs to get information. Mostly Internet users in Myanmar are also young people.

People are wasting time on Facebook, so the companies believe that deciding to launch a page on Facebook is a right thing to do.Then creating a Facebook page became the important step to go online of many businesses in Myanmar. All kinds of local businesses from every sectors are coming online by Facebook pages. They are making it on their own and some are using other service provider to manage Facebook pages. We can, today, see a lot of promotion campaign from various pages. As we cannot use credit or only payment account to use Facebook promote and ads feature, we have to use it by means of Facebook’s recognized agents and service company. But it seems costing more because they normally charge around 20 percent of money usage for ads. Anyway, when Facebook launch their office in Myanmar, both Facebook and Businesses in Myanmar will develop faster.
