There is a whole new marketing world waiting on Facebook, so where are you? Are you interested in learning how to market with it? Do you want some advice that will work for you? If so, the information that follows can help you.
When using Facebook to market your business, always remember to post in a professional manner. Although there is a relaxed tone on social media, you should always present yourself and your business professionally. If you stay professional, people will always view you that way.
Make your page stick out. You may do this through your choice of page color and the addition of graphics. An appealing page is much more enticing than an ordinary page for Facebook users.
Make sure your Facebook page isn’t being inundated with spam. There are some filters that can be used when editing your page that help monitor the page, even if you are not around. Anyone that is an administrator on your profile is able to enter some keywords into the filter so that those things can’t be posted to your page.
Check comments on your Facebook page regularly and respond promptly. If a person has taken the time to reach out to you, thank them for their time and answer any query they have as quickly as possible. Share links to your site or FAQs page to help answer common questions.
Custom tabs can help you get more accomplished on your Facebook page. With these tabs, your Facebook page’s information will be more organized, which ultimately helps your business. For example, if a contest is going on you can have a tab there to get more information about it.
The key to successful marketing with Facebook is having a strong base of fans. Having an excess of 5,000 fans is best. Once you hit that threshold, you’ll see that your conversion rate heads skyward.
If someone “likes” your page, give them something exclusive. People pay attention to a page with a high number of likes. Offer an incentive for new people to like your page, something that others are not getting. A contest is a good idea as is a coupon or discount. If someone sees a chance to get something of value, they will be more likely to click that button.
Be sure that your posts offer some value. Put useful and interesting information in every post so people truly benefit from the time they spend with you. Avoid “empty” posts. Don’t “sell” too much or you could make your followers tired of seeing you pop up in their news feed.
