Is Your Business Stalling? Facebook Marketing Is The Answer!

Take the time to fill out your Facebook profile with useful information and more details about your brand. Add a link to your website and write a brief description of your brand or products. Use a visitor counter to get an idea of how many visitors follow this link to access your homepage.

Organize a contest on Facebook. You should encourage your subscribers to tag you in one of their updates, for instance to share a picture of the product they bought or a review of a product. Give a free product to the entry that receives the most votes so contestants encourage their friends to vote on their entry.

If you are sharing content that you found on the Facebook page of a competitor or a fan, you should give them credit for it. There is nothing worse that a business can do than taking credit for something that they have nothing to do with. People will respect you more for attributing content to the original poster.

Make good use of Facebook Insights. You should visit this feature on a weekly basis to get an idea of how many people you reached out to. You will be able to get detailed numbers for each updates as well as a weekly number of uses you reached out to.

Use images wherever you can on your Facebook page and posts. This is a very visual social media platform, much more so than Twitter or LinkedIn. Perhaps only Pinterest is more visual in nature. Because of this, to get the most value out of your Facebook marketing, you need to have an image strategy. It'll help you succeed.

Think about why your page exists. Are you simply trying to get the word out about your company and new products? Or, is the page functioning as a forum for better communication with your customers? Once you have a clear picture of what you want your page to do, you can begin working on your marketing goals.

Keep track of how many sales you generate thanks to your Facebook campaign. Count how many customers purchase products with the coupon codes you share on Facebook. You can also use a visitor counter to keep track of how many people follow links to product pages you share on your Facebook page.

Only post content on your Facebook page that is relevant to the interests of your target audience. Don't let yourself get caught up in the social aspect and start posting everything you find interesting. Keeping your posts relevant will better engage your audience than having lots of pointless posts.

Do not hesitate to share links to other sites on Facebook. If you come across an article or a video your audience will be interested in, think about sharing it on Facebook. It is best to avoid sharing links to website you are in competition against or you could lose customers.

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.

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.

Don't only talk about your company on Facebook. That's the biggest problem most companies have when posting. They tend to just talk about themselves. Know that most of Facebook finds that rather boring. You won't build an audience that way. Find other things that fit your brand that you can talk about too.

Use the information above to make incorporate Facebook into your strategic marketing plans. Social media will not go away, and it will only become more powerful as consumers use this method to connect with each other and share. Continue to learn about this, and you can be successful in harnessing the marketing power of Facebook.
