These Facebook Marketing Tips Can Really Make Your Business Take Off!

By Cinthia Yomes


There is no single strategy that guarantees you will gather a profitable following on Facebook. The audience of each business has certain things they need and want, as well as things they don't like. If you want to use this resource to get more customers then you need to learn a few things; this article will provide you with just that.

If you're having trouble gaining followers, you can offer a sweepstakes in return for their "Like". Just place the sweepstakes in a tab on your company's page and have them fill it out with their email address, specifying that only those who Like your page will be eligible for the contest.

Use Facebook to share links to your site. You should try writing weekly articles or launching a video blog so you can create more content on a regular basis. Your audience will subscribe to your updates on Facebook if you create quality content. Make sure you mention your Facebook campaign in your articles or videos.

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.

Create a contest on your Facebook page that only fans of your page can participate in. This will make them excited to come to your page. They may even tell family, friends, or co-workers, meaning you will have more visitors coming to your page. Of course, more visitors means more business!

Using the custom audience feature, you have the ability to upload email information for existing customers and channel advertisements just to them. This will lower your marketing costs and increase the company profits in the long run.

Don't think that you should update your page if what you have to say has nothing to do with your content. It might be tempting to give your opinion on things or to share personal things with people, but this may not be interesting to your followers. Personal news and interests should be kept for a separate personal Facebook page.

Never rely on anyone else's advice as to when the best time for updating your page is. While a non-profit may find people are more charitable on the weekend, that doesn't mean your customers aren't actually checking out your page at work. Do your own research to figure out when you should be posting.

Remember to respect your followers privacy when using Facebook to market your business. If someone sends you a glowing review through a private message, remember to ask their permission before making it public. They may have chosen to send you the message that way because they did not want to be publicly acknowledged.

As the beginning of this piece 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 your best friend!
