THE CHANT: 'U-S-A!'

Political conventions are one thing. But the Olympics ? well, that's something that can really get a crowd's blood stirring.

As a lineup of former Olympic medalists took to the stage at the Republican National Convention, the crowd of delegates burst into a spontaneous, fist-pumping chant of "USA! USA!"

Was it Tampa ... or was it London again?

MITT IN THE HOUSE

Mitt Romney has arrived at the convention hall where he'll give his keynote speech and accept the Republican Party's nomination for president later Thursday night.

ON THE ISSUES

Mitt Romney's focus on jobs and the deficit in his acceptance speech plays to his strengths on the issues, while Thursday's convention agenda seeks to shore up his weak points. The latest Associated Press-GfK poll finds him most competitive with Obama on fiscal matters. Among registered voters, he leads the president by 10 points as more trusted to handle the federal budget deficit, and holds narrow 4-point edges on creating jobs and handling the economy.

But Romney trails Obama by 15 points on handling social issues, and by 6 points on handling Medicare, a central focus of Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan's congressional career.

The focus among Thursday night's convention speakers on Romney's personal and professional life could help to boost his personal image. Registered voters split evenly in their impressions of the former governor ? 46 percent have a favorable impression, 46 percent an unfavorable one. That lags behind Obama's 52 percent favorable to 46 percent unfavorable mark on this question.

Romney also trails the president on the question of which candidate is the stronger leader (50 percent Obama to 41 percent Romney) and is seen as less apt to understand average people's problems (51 percent say Obama better understands compared with 36 percent Romney).

WHOSE CONVENTION?

Whose convention is this?

If you use Newt and Callista Gingrich's remarks as a guide, you'd think the convention in Tampa was for Ronald Reagan. The former House speaker and his wife invoked Reagan 13 times during their brief remarks.

Mentions of Mitt Romney? Four.

A SOMBER HUSH

The floor of a national political convention can be a chaotic place. Many delegates do listen to every speech as the evening goes on. But other delegates mill around, chatting with friends, thronging the aisles, dashing out for food ? and above all else, angling for photos with well-known faces. It's often noisy and frequently raucous.

But every once in a while the convention floor stills for a bit. That happened Thursday night when Ted and Pat Oparowski, a Mormon couple, took the stage to describe a painful period in their life ? when their teenage son, David, was diagnosed in 1979 with non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

Ted Oparowski, who described himself as someone of modest means, told the crowd how Mitt Romney had struck up a friendship with their son, through his work in the church, visiting the 14-year-old during the months he struggled with cancer before dying.

As the couple spoke in slow, sometimes halting voices, delegates in the aisles turned and listened. Voices dropped. The stillness lasted until the couple left the stage.

FAMILY LEGACY

The family Bush is making sure its message gets out.

Among the few mentions of the last Republican elected - and re-elected president - were by his family, who seemed to use the brief time spent on President Obama's predecessor to try to polish George W. Bush's legacy.

A five-minute video aired at the convention Wednesday included side-by-side interviews with George W. Bush and his father, former President George H. W. Bush.

The senior Bush noted of his son's administration: "I think the thing I take pride in is the integrity."

The younger Bush's wife Laura added: "I'm so proud of George."

Romney advisers dismissed that speakers were advised to stay away from the Bush years. But some delegates said it was understandable that he didn't show.

Bush's brother Jeb, Florida's former governor, gave the most direct defense at the outset of his speech to the convention Thursday. It was completely off the advance script, and it was emphatic, praising "a man of integrity, courage and honor" who kept the country safe "during incredibly challenging times."

When he finished, he transitioned to his prepared remarks this way: "Now that I've gotten that off my chest, let's talk a little bit about our kids and education."

GINGRICH X 2

Newt Gingrich, known for doing things his way, capped his losing presidential bid with a unique GOP convention appearance alongside his wife, Callista.

Taking turns speaking, sort of like Oscar presenters, the pair praised Mitt Romney by comparing him to President Ronald Reagan.

Barack Obama is no Reagan, they made clear. He's more like Jimmy Carter, the Gingriches asserted.

"It's striking how President Carter and President Obama both took our nation down a path that in four years weakened America's confidence in itself and our hope for a better future," Newt said.

Left behind were any hard feelings from the heated primary campaign in which he called Romney a liar at one point and in a debate urged him to drop "the pious baloney."

HISPANIC OUTREACH

Republicans continued their strong outreach to Hispanic voters during Thursday night's convention.

All week they have been highlighting Hispanic elected officials from around the country, but on Thursday the effort kicked into even a higher gear. In a short video, elected officials from New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez to U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida talked about how their party's values are the values of many Hispanics ? from strong family ties to strong support for small business.

On the heels of the video, Romney's son Craig Romney spoke in Spanish to the crowd, followed by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush ? a popular politician who also spoke to the crowd in Spanish.

Scheduled to be up later in the evening: Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida ? perhaps the country's most up-and-coming Hispanic official.

? Sally Buzbee

___

BROTHERLY LOVE

Jeb Bush used his turn on the Republican's national stage to make a spirited, personal defense of his brother, George W. Bush, whose oft-criticized presidency has been barely mentioned at the party's convention.

"My brother, well, I love my brother. He is a man of integrity and courage and honor," Bush said before launching into his formal remarks, which focused on education policy.

Early in his brother's two-term tenure, America was shocked by the Sept. 11 terror attacks. Jeb Bush said: "During incredibly challenging times, he kept us safe."

Delegates responded with a standing ovation.

? Connie Cass ?Twitter http://twitter.com/ConnieCass

___

THE WONDER YEAR?

While speaker after speaker at the Republican National Convention lambasted Barack Obama ? and more than one mocked the final night of his 2008 convention in Denver ? they appropriated one of the best-known songs of that Democratic night's musical star, Stevie Wonder.

The Obama campaign played the song, "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours," frequently at the end of the candidate's rallies that year, and Wonder himself sang it on the final night of Obama's convention at Denver's Invesco Field.

Thursday night, playing Newt and Callista Gingrich offstage, the GOP convention's band swung into the song, the second time it was featured in the hall this week.

? Robert Furlow ? Twitter http://twitter.com/furl442

___

FULL-THROATED DEFENSE

The last Republican president, George W. Bush, has been almost invisible at this convention ? until Thursday night. Almost no previous speaker had mentioned the president who immediately preceded Barack Obama. Vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan even took an oblique swipe at Bush, noting in his speech Wednesday night that the country's budget and debt problems had been caused not just by Obama, but by administrations before his.

That changed Thursday night, when the former president's brother, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush made an impromptu ? and full throated ? defense of his brother at the start of his speech to the delegates. Jeb Bush's speech was on education. But before he leapt in, Jeb Bush got the crowd roaring by telling the crowd of delegates "I love my brother." In a very troubled time for America, Jeb Bush said, "He kept us safe."

George W. Bush was just a few months into his presidency when terrorists flew airplanes into the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon, killing thousands of Americans. In the aftermath of those Sept. 11 attacks, then-President Bush ordered American troops first into Afghanistan to attack al-Qaida and then later into Iraq to overthrow dictator Saddam Hussein.

SUNSHINE AT LAST

"It's finally the Sunshine State." ? Florida Gov. Rick Scott, speaking on the floor of the Republican National Convention on Thursday night, referring to the blowing by of Tropical Storm Isaac earlier in the week.

? Carol Druga ? Twitter http://twitter.com/Droogs66

___

QUICKQUOTE: JEB ON GEORGE

"Mr. President, it is time to stop blaming your predecessor for your failed economic policies. You were dealt a tough hand but your policies have not worked." ? Former Fla. Gov. Jeb Bush, after praising his brother, former President George W. Bush.

___

REAGAN REDUX

Ronald Reagan is at the Republican National Convention once again ? if merely in spirit.

As the final session began Thursday night, a nostalgic Reagan video backed by music and sentimental imagery summoned the way the conservatives have framed his legacy. "As we continue our journey we think of those who traveled before us," Reagan's voice said over clips of war veterans and families. In a montage of images that ranged from space shuttles to Sandra Day O'Connor, his narrative was repackaged and re-offered to conservatives 23 years after he left office and eight years after he died. "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall," Reagan said once again Thursday night.

There's no more potent image for the Republicans to summon, of course. This is a man who is the most towering icon of modern conservatism. When Reagan is brought out, it's always about imagery and implied GOP renewal ? about a "springtime of hope" and the notion of America as the shining city on the hill.

Then the music swelled and faded, the video ended and two fresh speakers walked on stage: Newt Gingrich and his wife Callista.

? Ted Anthony ? Twitter http://www.twitter.com/anthonyted

___

QUICKQUOTE: RENEWAL

"It's not about the past. It's not about what was done wrong. It's not about blaming America. It's quite the opposite. Tonight we embark on a renewal of the American dream." ? U.S. Rep. Connie Mack, R-Fla.

______

WHAT'S OBAMA DOING?

White House spokesman Jay Carney says Obama is "fully aware" of the happenings at the Republican convention in Tampa this week. But he says he doesn't think the president watched Paul Ryan's speech Wednesday night, nor does he know whether Obama will watch Romney address the GOP convention Thursday.

Carney didn't say whether he thought Ryan's speech was factually accurate. But he criticized Romney's campaign more broadly for distorting Obama's record and policy positions in speeches and advertisements.

"Perhaps when the facts aren't on your side, you ignore the facts," Carney says.

___

HIGH-SPEED RAIL

Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn is all smiles, happy that so far his city has avoided widespread confrontations and arrests that have marred other conventions.

But that doesn't mean he's pleased with everything.

Buckhorn, a Democrat, used his daily press briefing to argue Tampa needs more mass transit options to build from the "worldwide" exposure it got during the convention.

In early 2011, Florida Gov. Rick Scott turned down a federal grant to help build a high-speed rail line between Tampa and Orlando. The Republican governor argued the state would wind up spending more than anticipated because it would cost more than initially projected.

Buckhorn took a swipe at Scott by noting that Detroit's mayor had thanked him recently because high-speed rail money once destined for Florida was redirected to other states and cities.

___

POLICE-PROTESTER LOVE?

As the Republican National Convention wears on, protesters are getting worn out.

The busloads of protesters ? who are staying at a makeshift camp dubbed "Romneyville" ? have seen their food and water supplies dwindle. Law enforcement has noticed, as well.

So on Thursday morning, police brought boxed lunches of sandwiches, fruits and ice-cold water to Romneyville. Chief Jane Castor said police had extra food, so they decided to donate it rather than throw it out.

Castor, during a morning news conference, said simply: "We're here to serve the public."

___

WHO'S TUNING IN

Sure, political conventions aim to fire up the die-hard partisans in the arena, but they're also made-for-TV events designed to appeal to undecided voters. Recent polling suggests they may not be hitting their mark.

A Pew Research Center survey before the Republican convention began found just over four in 10 adults were interested in following each party's convention.

Partisans were most interested in their own gathering ? 70 percent of Republicans were interested in this week's events and 66 percent of Democrats were interested in their party's upcoming convention. Fewer partisans check in on the other team: 41 percent of Democrats were interested in the goings-on in Tampa, Fla., while 28 percent of Republicans were interested in tuning in for Obama's re-nomination.

Among independents, just 37 percent said they were interested in the Republican convention, 36 percent in the Democratic one.

For Republicans angling for young, disaffected Obama voters, the convention may not be their best chance. Overnight ratings for the GOP convention suggested less than 10 percent of viewers were under age 35. The Pew poll found less than 30 percent of twenty-somethings were interested in the political conventions.

ROMNEY PREVIEW

In his big speech, Mitt Romney will make a direct appeal to voters who felt excited to cast a ballot for Barack Obama four years ago.

"If you felt that excitement when you voted for Barack Obama, shouldn't you feel that way now that he's President Obama?" Romney says in excerpts released before his Thursday night speech. "You know there's something wrong with the kind of job he's done as president when the best feeling you had, was the day you voted for him."

You've been let down, Romney's telling former Obama voters, by a presidency that lapsed into disappointment and division.

"Many Americans have given up on this president, but they haven't ever thought about giving up," Romney says. "Not on themselves. Not on each other. And not on America."

Riffing on Obama's 2008 catchphrase, "Yes we can," Romney plans to tell Americans, "Now is the moment when we CAN do something."

What can Americans do, according to Romney? Vote for him.

? Connie Cass ?Twitter http://twitter.com/ConnieCass

___

POLITICAL FOOTBALL

There may be large swaths of a Republican stronghold otherwise occupied during Mitt Romney's big speech Thursday night. College football debuts at the same time, and that can trump anything else on TV, especially in the pigskin-crazy South.

The marquee matchup happens down in Tennessee, with Steve Spurrier's No. 9 South Carolina Gamecocks taking on the Vanderbilt Commodores in Nashville at 7 p.m. EDT. But the GOP probably isn't worried about losing interest or votes in either South Carolina or Tennessee, both of which are normally reliable Republican states in presidential contests.

Toshiba 84-inch 4K Quad Full HD TV hands-on (video)

84 seems to be the magic number at IFA. 84 inches, that is, when it comes to 4K TVs. Sony announced its jumbo 4K set at yesterday's press conference, and now Toshiba has returned with a matching high-res model of its own. The Toshiba set has a slightly sleeker housing, aided by the fact that it didn't have side-mounted speakers as with Sony's flavor -- though, if you're able to afford a (yet-unpriced) TV of this caliber, a premium surround-sound rig better be on the agenda as well. The picture quality, as you might expect, was fantastic. You'll see individual pixels once you're within a few feet of the display, but given its 84-inch footprint, you're going to want to position yourself quite a distance from the panel in order to take it all in.

Toshiba had three sets on display, running through loops of game play, cityscapes and some decked-out human models. The ambient setting was favorably configured, and with ideal content colors were vibrant and the picture was incredibly bright and sharp during our demo, even when viewed from a slight angle. There was a hint of reflection, but only when a dark image popped into frame, despite a multitude of visual noise in the area. You'll need to see Toshiba's 84-inch, 3,840 x 2,160-pixel TV in person to get the full effect (perhaps after it launches early next year), though you can take a (low-res) peek in our gallery below and the video after the break. You can also get a feel for the size -- keep an eye out for the Galaxy Note in the bottom left corner in the shot above.

Health Nutrition And Health and fitness iWebdeveloper: Deep ...

Health, nutrition and conditioning are the three interrelated areas that establish an individual?s sense of happiness and well being.

Wellbeing involves the physical, mind and spiritual quantity of an individual. A physically wholesome person is one who can carry out normal daily physical activities and react to emergencies with out undo-options fatigue or ache. The health part of health, nutrition and fitness will be achieved through a healthy program of good nutrition, balanced physical activity, continuous education and learning and mental activities, and social as well as spiritual activities. Your selections of the food you eat and your regular activities affect both your current short term and long term health (how you feel now and in the future). You could be getting plenty to nibble on, but if it is not an effective balance of alternatives from all five of the basic food groups you may well be adding fat in your body without producing the energy to burn the actual calories and energy for the cells to carry out their own functions.

An important part of good health is being physically fit tweaking proper body weight. Maintaining a healthy body requires following a dietary diet, and training to build and maintain muscle tissue, and to burn associated with an excess calories.

Nutrition

The particular nutritional health portion of health, nutrition and health and fitness deals with the food we all consume to maintain our overall health and provide energy to carry on our daily lives. Nutrition is the procedure of nurturing or being nourished; the total of all the so-called processes that a place or animal uses to take in and procedure food substances to maintain a healthy life.

A proper nutrition life style requires a healthy diet of meals selected from the several basic food groups, fresh fruits, vegetables, naturally calcium supplements rich dairy products or perhaps calcium enriched products, whole grains, and necessary protein (lean meat fish, peas and beans). Other healthy factors should also be deemed. Most fruits and vegetables are better if they are consumed uncooked because heating ruins some of the healthy nutrients. Steaming and broiling meals is better than boiling as well as frying foods. Preparing fruits and vegetables is preferable to processed or geared up foods. The prepared food generally contain a lot more salt (sodium) when compared with necessary and other flavor enhancing substances. Some of these additives do not add any nutritional value for the food and may even always be harmful to your health.

Far more nutritional factors to consider include the variety of the vegatables and fruits in our diet. Nutritional information shows that dark green veggies (romaine lettuce, kale, broccoli, and so forth.), and orange vegetables (carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin as well as summer squash) offers more nutritional value as compared to some of the less multi-colored vegetables.

Here are more nutrition facts. Some foods give rise to burning fat. Green tea contributes to fat burning by enhancing the body?s metabolism and growing energy level. Foods high in protein are more difficult to break down so they require a lot more calories in the digestive process.

Baby and Child Sleep Consultant in Vancouver | Sleepy Miracles ...

Baby and Child Sleep Consultant in Vancouver

I get this question all the time?What do you do for a living?

I also get the same reaction all the time?You are what?

I?m an Infant Sleep Consultant and then I usually spend an average of five to ten minutes explaining what exactly that title means. One thing I know for sure is that I love being a Gentle Sleep Coach! I love talking about babies, toddlers and sleep, but above all I love helping families to recover their so precious sleep.

It all began with my second child, Matteo. He is now a happy 23-month boy who sleeps through the night no matter what. We put him in the crib, Matteo hugs his soft stuffed animal and goes to a dreamland of his own.

But that was not always the case. The first four months were not exactly what I was expecting. My first daughter was always a good sleeper, so I had no idea what I was doing wrong. I needed help, and I needed it fast.

After we helped Matteo improve his sleep habits, my life changed. I was a different person. I was able to be a cheerful and happy mom again. Now that I see things in perspective, I know I was trying my best but by that time I wasn?t able to juggle everything. Sleep deprivation was making my life miserable and my family was in a crisis.

So after living that experience and after sharing it with other moms, helping other families became my passion. This is the main reason why I decided to become a baby and child sleep consultant. My goal is to be able to help many tired moms and many dads who need some guidance in order to recover their dreamed nights of sleep.

But what exactly is an ?Infant Sleep Consultant??

As a?Certified Infant Sleep Consultant I am trained to assist parents in guiding their children into healthy sleep habits?by?giving them the skills, knowledge and support to empower them in the process. A Sleep Consultant takes time to understand the sleep goals of each?family, their parenting philosophy and the culture of the family, taking all of those things into consideration while creating a personalized sleep plan that will accomplish their goals.

My aim is always to create a plan that allows the family to experience the best results in the gentlest way possible. Sometimes it involves helping the parents redefine their objectives to meet the developmental stage of their baby. Other times it involves helping them identify the current obstacles to reaching their goals. But, for every family, one thing remains the same? teaching that sweet little bundle to sleep through the night as gently and quickly as possible! Because, when baby is sleeping well, everyone can sleep well!

Border Patrol | Restaurant Review | Gambit New Orleans News and ...

Back when Germany and France battled over their borders, Alsace-Lorraine exchanged possession so often that today this region's culture resembles a blend of each. This is the area where chef Rene Bajeux grew up, and its interplay between French technique and the round comfort of spaetzle and sauerkraut, unified by a shared pork fixation, helps define the second iteration of Rene Bistrot.

??This version opened in May in the space formerly occupied by La Cote Brasserie, which Bajeux helped open, and it takes its name from the celebrated restaurant Bajeux ran before Hurricane Katrina at the Renaissance Pere Marquette. It is more contemporary and wide-ranging than the original Rene Bistrot (specials sometimes include pho and spring rolls) but the best reasons to dine here remain deeply rooted in tradition.

??In fact, a menu section labeled "tradition" is where to find golden nuggets of paneed sweetbreads with a tart, oily sauce grenobloise or stuffed rabbit with sauerkraut redolent of riesling and tarragon, or surprisingly seductive pig's feet, the fatty meat deboned, mixed with herbs and garlic and packaged in phyllo over textbook ratatouille with a mountain of french fries. The best appetizers along these lines are blood sausage, the chef's trademark onion soup and tarte flambee ? a cracker-crisp Alsatian-style pizza with raw onions, bacon and fromage blanc, a light, fresh cream cheese resembling ricotta.

??The road to this sort of rustic bliss, however, has some ruts. I'll chalk up an overcooked salmon and a mealy-crusted peach cobbler to poor execution. But the trouble started at the conceptual stage for scallops and shrimp with couscous, intensely sharp mustard and a pomegranate sauce as cool and sweet as a smoothie and haltingly out of place.

??The sprawling dining room here is virtually unchanged from its previous incarnation as La Cote Brasserie, and it also has inherited some of its predecessor's service issues. The waitstaff is as friendly as can be, but too often seemed unfamiliar with the menu and some of the basics of fine dining. A low point: having to clarify that even though it was I who ordered the bottle of pinot blanc it was fine to pour some for the other diners at the table.

??Still, this restaurant presents some wonderfully charismatic food. Roasted sardines, served whole on a sizzling platter, were firm, garlicky and assertive. Short rib a la bourguignonne, a Monday dinner special, should be available every day if only to demonstrate the highest and best use for short ribs, which here surrender their beefy, viscous soul to a sauce that coats buttermilk spaetzle underneath. And the lunch menu's croque madame sandwich ? a classic grilled ham and cheese with egg ? was completely buttery, melting and bursting with flavor.

??For now, Rene Bistrot has excellent regional specialties, alluring potential and some glaring rough spots. Bajeux says new menus are coming for the fall. Count me among those hoping they wend deeper into the chef's traditional home turf.

Relief as Typhoon Tembin skirts Taiwan

Taiwan's rain-battered south heaved a sigh of relief Tuesday after Typhoon Tembin skirted past the island before dawn without making landfall, apparently leaving little damage.

Communities in the exposed southern part of Taiwan had been bracing for a rare second onslaught after Tembin swept across the island late last week and unleashed the worst downpour in more than a century in some areas.

"I feel relieved now," said Yeh Ming-shun, head of Hengchun township, which forms the southernmost tip of Taiwan.

Tembin brushed by Taiwan at 2:00 am (1800 GMT Monday), missing the south of the island by 10 kilometres (six miles), the Central Weather Bureau said.

Hengchun, at the heart of Taiwan's Riviera, is normally a bustling city full of tourists, but Tuesday morning it was deserted, as almost all visitors had cancelled their hotel bookings.

Material damage appeared to be limited, and the area's farmers seemed to have escaped a devastating blow to their livelihoods, partly because they had already harvested a significant amount of the season's fruit and rice.

As of 0115 GMT, Tembin was 130 kilometres (80 miles) north-northeast of Orchid Island off the east coast of Taiwan, according to the Central Weather Bureau.

With a radius of 180 kilometres, the typhoon was packing gusts of up to 119 kilometres per hour and moving northeast at a speed of 22 kilometres per hour.

A second landfall by Tembin would have been a rare event. The weather bureau said Taiwan had been hit by the same typhoon twice only four times since 1977. The last typhoon to do so was Typhoon Nali in 2001.

When Tembin ground its way across Taiwan late last week, it triggered massive precipitation in some places, with Hengchun receiving more than 600 millimetres (24 inches) of rain within a 24-hour span.

Customer Service and Social Media - Business 2 Community

Social media has made it possible for businesses to directly connect with their target audience and customers on a constant basis. Because of the ease of communication, your business will get a lot of valuable feedback from fans that you might not have otherwise. More people will speak up, and some of those people will have customer service requests for you. Here are some things you need to consider when it comes to customer service and social media.

Speed

When your customers contact you via social media with customer service-related issues, it?s because it?s easy and because they want a quick response. If they don?t get a speedy reply they might feel ignored. When you have more than one customer service issue to attend to, this doesn?t mean you always have to prioritize social media requests. You should, however, always respond as soon as possible if only to let the customer know that you?ve seen their post or received their message and are working on it.

Public vs. Private

Customer service requests that are posted onto your Facebook wall for all to see need to be taken very seriously, even the smallest. There is more at stake than just the satisfaction of that one customer. All of your fans will see your response. It will reflect on your brand and can potentially change public opinion about it. Remember that it?s crucial to show off exceptional customer service. Anything less can be off-putting and have negative consequences for your reputation.

Traditional Service

No matter how tech savvy your business is, you should never entirely replace traditional customer service channels with social media. There will always be some people who prefer to make a phone call to customer service rather than logging on to contact you. Traditional customer service channels should be treated just as importantly as social media, and social media shouldn?t necessarily be the priority. The urgency of the request, whether it was given via telephone or social media, should always be evaluated.

Fan Assistance

A great thing about social media is that your fans can help you with customer service. If someone posts a question, it?s likely that another fan will try to answer it for them (if they can). Even if a customer answers a question, you still need to respond, too. When you see fans responding to customer service inquiries, it?s a good sign that you have fans that are loyal to your brand. To boost engagement all around, encourage customers to collaborate with each other via social media.

FAQs

Every business has certain questions that they hear over and over again, and that?s why Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) lists exist. You could post a FAQ list on your Facebook page for easy reference, but you don?t necessarily have to. For engagement and marketing, it?s preferable for a fan to comment on your page. If they get their answers from a FAQ list, they?re less likely to engage with you directly. Fans can also view your Timeline and see past comments, and FAQs may already be answered there.
