  • Abstract
    The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of adopting a social network service as an electronic marketing tool. Forty four Facebook pages were designed and developed by a group of undergraduates in an E-Marketing class. Scholarly strategic steps were followed in order to achieve the best results. Some of the strategies used in the study produced very good results. The findings from this study indicate that certain approaches can be adopted using a social networking service which would produce significant impact. These approaches could help small business with minimum start up capital to benefit from E-Marketing.
