In order for Marketing on Facebook to be effective, you need to know how to use it properly. The following email and post will teach you the basics of what you need to know about Facebook marketing.
1. Update your Facebook profile, pages, and groups regularly. Do not hesitate to post a new update every morning if you find that your subscribers check Facebook at least once a day. If your subscribers are not likely to check Facebook very often, share a weekly update to avoid flooding them with too many updates.
2. Create a unique Facebook profile, page, or group that is capable of standing apart from the rest. The key to marketing on Facebook is to not look just like the other guys. Almost everyone uses Facebook these days, so you must be different if you want to be noticed before one of your competitors is.
3. Reach out to the friends of your subscribers by encouraging them to share your content. You could for instance ask subscribers to share your updates to receive a coupon code or focus on sharing entertaining content your subscribers will want to send to their friends. Keep track of which strategies work best.
4. If you have nothing valuable to say to your audience, do not say anything. People do not want to visit your page and be treated to information that is useless and/or dated. if you do not have anything relevant and unique to talk about, try sharing links or videos that are in the same niche.
5. Never argue with a member of your fan base. There may be some people that do not like your product and they might say negative things. Keep your cool in this type of situation. The way you handle it will give people a good idea of what it is like to do business with you.
6. When thinking of information to share with your followers on Facebook, try to keep them relevant to what is going on with your business or industry. If your company sells auto parts, you should make posts about auto parts. Posting photos of cats or other irrellavant topics will ensure that people unfollow your profile, page, or group.
7. Never buy Facebook fans to make you look bigger than you are. It may be tempting to throw down some cash to buy your way in to big fan numbers, but it never turns out the way you want. Those hallow fans bring nothing to the table, and people who are in the business can see through this tactic in a heartbeat. It’s never worth it.
8. There is nothing wrong with posting links to content on your website from Facebook. People think that Facebook fans want to stay on Facebook all day – this is a myth. In fact, they’re quite happy to visit your site as long as you offer them something of interest and valuable, so give it a try.
9. Use videos to make your Facebook profile, page, and groups even more engaging. Facebook is a really visual social media platform. It’s much more visual than Twitter. Photos are great on Facebook, and videos can really be show stoppers. If you’ve got great videos to share, you can see your posts get a lot more likes!
10. If someone comments on your page, reply to it….it is Social Media, you are supposed to be social. You will probably get messages in two ways: on your wall and in your inbox. It is not always easy to do so, but it could pay off for you in the end.
11. Put a face to your name. You will find that your fans will appreciate knowing exactly who they are talking to when you communicate on your profile, or page, or group. Add a picture of yourself so they know who you are.
12. Don’t forget to promote your Facebook profile, pages, and groups through offline channels. There are many places that you can drum up interest in your Facebook properties, including print advertising, on your business cards, on direct mailing pieces, and even on your shop windows! You can grab many new Facebook fans this way.
As the beginning of this email and post discussed, social media has become increasing popular, which makes it a great tool to market one’s products or services. However, it does take some knowledge to ensure you are using this marketing properly. By using the tips above, Facebook marketing will prove to be a great friend!
