Many of your younger family members are probably on Facebook. Your whole family, including Gram and Pap might be using Facebook! Having said that, are your customers also on Facebook? If they are, Facebook marketing may be what you need to take your business to the next level.
Generate some attention for your Facebook campaign by organizing a giveaway. Try getting your customers to ‘like’ your site by giving them something for free. Just announce a winner and repeat the promotion as necessary.
When you publish something on your website or other social media accounts, link to it from your Facebook page. If you’re running a blog, for instance, it’s easy to set it so that links and summaries of your latest posts are automatically cross-posted to Facebook. Also, use your Twitter page to link up to Facebook.
If you’re using Facebook so that you can market something, then you need to make your profile look different than a regular page. You can make a colorful or photo-heavy page. Users on Facebook are attracted to these pages over plain ones.
Have you looked into using custom tabs on your Facebook page? Tabs will give you the opportunity to organize information on your page. For instance, when you have a contest going on, make a tab for just content info.
One way to target your customers with specific ads is to add your email list to the “custom audience” feature on Facebook. This can increase your conversion rate while lowering your campaign costs as more of your audience morphs from being leads to becoming customers.
In return for a “Like”, provide an exclusive reward. You can garner lots of attention via “likes.” You can give away coupons for your product or maybe free samples. Whether it is an individual gift or the chance to go into a draw, it will create excitement. People find it easy to click if the offer is for an appealing item they would like.
You can covert visitors into followers by hiding content from people that aren’t fans. If any of your content is hidden, people will follow you in order to view it. Only hide a bit of your content or you will lose part of the impact of your SEO.
It’s imperative that you keep your audience up-to-date. This does not mean posting 5 times a day, but it does mean regular updates. Be sure that you’re making updates that contain rich content that gives people information that they are interested in.
Determine why you are creating a Facebook page in the first place. Don’t just use a Facebook page because everyone else is doing it. Instead, define what you are you going to communicate with your customers. Or is it a way for them to reach out to you? Using your Facebook page to market is different from using your page to communicate with customers.
Nurture your relationship with followers on your company’s page. It is the same when you’re face to face, so online interaction requires the same involvement, which is going to change over time. One smart way to encourage a long-term relationship is to ensure the content you provide is current and simple to understand. Remember to reward loyal customers with deals and promotions.
Ask your customers to post reviews on your Facebook profile. This will show the quality of your product and give you an idea of whether or not changes need to be made. It makes them feel much more comfortable if they are on the fence.
Encourage your followers to share the content they like on your Facebook page with family and friends. Give them an incentive, for instance by offering a small discount to the subscribers who share one of your updates with their friends. You can hand out your incentives after your subscriber goal is met.
Your posts should contain a variety of content while staying on one subject. You should stick with your brand, but you don’t want to make each post the same. You should engage your customer base in many different ways. Provide photos, videos, or engage them with questions.
You probably have a Facebook page, so you are aware of what customers do, see and would like to know. Pair this knowledge with the advice from this article to create a great campaign. The larger the effort you want to put in, the greater the profit you will receive.
