How To Use Facebook Marketing For Your Business
What are your goals when it comes to Facebook marketing? Who is your target audience? How will you get the word out? Don’t know the answer to any of these questions? This article will help you figure out how to create a great campaign on budget and without a huge time investment.
The key to all marketing is to understand why you’re doing it. What is your end goal? Once you have that figured out, you can more easily create a plan to bring in exactly who you want to turn from Facebook like into customer. So start brainstorming today – what are you marketing?
Make sure that you pay close attention to the amount of information you post on Facebook. If you only talk every once in a while, many users may become bored and look elsewhere for gratification. Posting too much is not a good thing either since many people will read it as desperation. Do your best to find the proper balance.
You can build value for your Facebook campaign by using this platform to share exclusive content. Give some specific examples of the kind of exclusive content your subscribers have access to. You could for instance use Facebook to share some coupon codes or let your subscribers know about the new products you have not released yet.
By using the Power Editor, you can get your marketing post into mobile user’s news feed, the best way to reach those who aren’t using a traditional computer to access Facebook. In fact, there are also “Desktop News Feeds” which go to those on computers as well, so you can target both.
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 page.
Likes won’t pay your electricity bill, shares won’t bring home the bacon and comments won’t pay your employees’ wages. None of these things directly help you turn a profit. You can easily advertise on Facebook without ever investing in a Facebook business page, so consider other options and how much money they can make you.
Choose your Facebook profile picture carefully. You could for instance use an image of your logo or latest product. Do not hesitate to change your profile picture regularly but make sure your page remains easy to identify. Customize your page further by creating a cover picture that corresponds to the kind of designs you have been using for your other marketing campaigns.
Talk to your audience on your Facebook business page. If someone is taking time to write something on your Wall, you should answer them. It’s similar to someone calling your business. On the phone, you would talk to them and answer their questions to make a good impression. This concept is the same with email and web form submissions. It needs to be the same with your Facebook page.
