3. PROJECT PROFILE
• Using Social Media (Facebook.com) for eBusiness (Infibeam.com)
• The entire project is divided into three steps in order to generate a new wave
on Social Media.
• The steps are :
• 1. Get more people to know about Infibeam's presence on Facebook.
o Solution : Create an application that can catch maximum eyeballs.
• 2. Launch a Facebook Store for Infibeam.
• Post Project Step :
• 3. Create a Feedback Management System for all the platforms of Infibeam.

4. Introduction to Project :
The project's main idea is to use Facebook.com more efficiently in order to create a business from the
Facebook users.
To achieve such a goal, one has to understand that establishing an online store on a new platform requires
some steps to be followed.
My project consists of such steps.
The one by one course of such actions can create a wave of new generation social marketing.
Step 1: Step one is to make the prelaunched sence felt.
Infibeam.com is continuously trying to get the best out of social media through mass communication on
Facebook.com
But there was a need to create a hype, so that the presence of Infibeam on Facebook can be felt.
To achieve it, I, along with Infibeam executives decided to grab an opportunity on the day of Valentine’s.,
launching an application that can calculate Love Count. As expected, the application got viral and we
received more than 250 clicks in first one and a half minutes of its launch because of our marketing
strategy through which the participants above 90% of Love Count could win a 1000 Rs voucher from
Infibeam.
Result: The page today has more than 18 lakh likes and its increasing day by day.

5. Introduction to Project (Cont.):
Step 2 :The next step is to launch a Facebook store in which Facebook users can buy things from
Infibeam.com
This part of the project is most critical because it is the part that decides the real value of Infibeam.com on
Facebook.
This part mainly includes the introduction of one particular section of Infibeam, named as ‘Hot Deals’ on
Facebook.
Step 3: And the last step of the project is all about the assessment of the above two steps. A Feedback
Management System is to be made that can be appended to multiple platforms of Infibeam like the main
website, Facebook application and the mobile site.
