How To Use Facebook Marketing To Your Advantage

Do not sign up for a Facebook account and expect the name of your brand to speak for itself. Even if the brand you are marketing is fairly well established, you still need to do work to make it even more popular. Failing to do this may result in you losing some of your fans.

All posts must be done professionally. While social media usually has a relaxed tone, present your business and yourself professionally. People will trust and respect your business and what you have to say if you maintain a professional tone.

When you want more people to Like your page, offer them something they can't get unless they click that Like button. One easy way to do this is by running a contest which only those who Like your page can enter. You could also offer a free ebook in return for a Like.

A fun and easy way to get followers on your Facebook business page is to create a contest. Loyal followers will share their contest entry with their own followers and spread the word quickly. The prize doesn't have to be anything big, a sample product or small cash reward can be enough to spread the word.

Try holding a giveaway to boost interest in your Facebook page. Give something away for free to a select group of customers who sign up to be on your mailing list or who "like" your Facebook page. It won't cost you too much money, and you will now have communication with more targeted customers consistently.

Do not build any apps on Facebook that require more than three or fours steps to get started. The more complicated something is, the less likely people are to want to deal with it. If someone can use one of your apps right away, they will be more likely to sign up.

Never, ever, EVER pay for Facebook fans! Facebook can tell if your fans are engaged in your page or not, and the more fans you have who don't check out your page, the worse your EdgeRank will be. You want fans who really are interested in your products, so let them come naturally.

Always answer comments and posts that show up on your Wall. If somebody tries to engage with your company, you owe it to them to respond. You would not ignore phone calls, so why would you ignore Facebook posts?

Connect your Twitter account to your Facebook page. This will help you streamline your posts to both social media accounts. When you post on Twitter, your post is also posted simultaneously on your Facebook page as well. This saves you the time and effort of signing onto both sites to make one post.

Don't forget to promote your Facebook page through offline channels. There are many places that you can drum up interest in your Facebook page, 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.

You likely use Facebook yourself, and therefore understand what would appeal to customers. Take what you know along with these tips to create an exceptional Facebook campaign that'll land you more fans, followers, and business. The larger the effort you want to put in, the greater the profit you will receive.
