How To Use Facebook Marketing To Your Advantage

By Brian Hepburn


What is marketing on Facebook all about? What sort of opportunities are available there? What can one expect to gain once a campaign is complete? The truth is that the sky is the limit, and only your knowledge will hold you back. Read this article to learn all you can before you begin.

Make sure any content you publish is linked through your Facebook. If you write a blog, make sure that new posts appear on Facebook. Even your tweets from Twitter can be linked to Facebook and be displayed there.

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.

When you market services and products on Facebook, your page needs to stand out above others pages that are similar. This can be done by creating a more colorful page and adding things like lots of photos. Those on Facebook are more likely to visit a vibrant page instead of a dull one.

It is important to have a lot of followers when using Facebook as a marketing tool. Do not invest in promotions until you have a strong base with thousands of followers. After you hit that many people you should see your conversion rates start to rise.

Add pictures to your profile page. People love pictures and it really is true that a picture is worth a thousand words. When your fans can see what you have to offer, your customers with your products or services, or what you stand for, they will feel more of a connection to your company.

Share pictures on Facebook. Keep in mind that your subscribers check Facebook to see updates shared by their friends. If your subscribers have a lot of friends on Facebook, your updates might not be easy to notice. Getting their attention will be a lot easier if you share pictures rather than text updates.

You should calculate the conversion rate of your Facebook marketing campaign on a monthly basis. Assess how many products you sell thanks to this campaign and compare this number to how many subscribers you have. Your conversion rate is an excellent indication of how successful your Facebook marketing campaign is.

It is truly a myth that every business HAS to be on Facebook. The cost of the time taken to plan your campaigns, maintain your page, communicate with fans, and advertise can become a massive burden on a small business owner. Consider carefully if the costs will be outweighed by the profit increases.

If you do not have time in the day to maintain a Facebook page, you should get someone else to do it. People will notice if your messages become to brief and start to lack substance. It is perfectly acceptable to have someone else run the page while you work on other aspects of the business.

Your business probably doesn't really require a Facebook page if you only deal with customers occasionally, such as selling a car or a house. You have customers that come and go at random times so they probably won't follow your posts on Facebook. Use ads instead of a Facebook page in this circumstance.

When your campaigns are failing, you may question what went wrong, but it's often a lack of education which holds you back. Thankfully, you read this article and now have a thorough understanding of how to market correctly on Facebook. This means that your next campaign should be a profitable one.
