Facebook marketing tips
Social media sites such as Facebook remain the leaders when it comes to friends connecting and sharing online.
With Facebook, businesses can interact with customers and market
themselves by interacting with Facebook. It's become more than just a place to
meet friends. The following are seven ways to use Facebook as a marketing channel.
Whether you're a big corporation or a small business, Facebook
is a great marketing tool. It's a great way to communicate with customers,
build your brand, and gain new customers.
1. Making your Facebook business page
Free marketing tools like Facebook are great for businesses. The pages allow businesses to showcase their products and services, as well as to share links, images, and posts to give visitors an idea of their character and personality.
It's a great place to showcase your brand identity and show your
human side on your Facebook business page. Facebook gives you an opportunity to
loosen up a bit - be funny.
In the end, you should consider what your key audience would
like to see. Share
social media images, links, videos, whatever,
So long as it has to do with your business and seems like
something your target audience would enjoy. Analyze your Facebook Insights to
find out what resonates with your audience.
A footwear store might also post articles about how to measure
your feet accurately, what types of shoe inserts are best for different types
of sore feet, etc. Your blog should include humor, educational resources, and
posts about changes to your store.
2. Advertising on
Facebook: Classic Ads
Facebook offers its own advertising program with Facebook ads, which appear in the sidebar of the Facebook website. These ads are called Marketplace Ads.
They include a headline, copy, and a click-through link to
either a Facebook page, a Facebook app, or an external website.
The use of Facebook advertising in your Facebook marketing
campaign can increase likes and website traffic. You can advertise on Facebook
by:
- Facebook user
demographic targeting by age, location, education, and interests.
- Ability to set
advertising budgets.
- Testing of
multiple ad versions at the same time, in order to compare ad designs and
setups.
- Built-in tools
for measuring ad performance.
- Advertising in your local area is great for
local businesses.
3. Host a Facebook contest
Contests, sweepstakes, and promotions are other Facebook
marketing tactics that can increase your fans and brand awareness.
Remember, Facebook contests may not be conducted directly
through Facebook (you cannot use likes as entry criteria, have people comment
on questions, etc.).
Businesses must use a third-party app to create Facebook
contests, and then direct their Facebook fans to the app.
You can find plenty of paid and free tools to help you do this.
There are several contest templates available on ShortStack, as long as your
page only has 2,000 followers.
You can also use Pagemodo for free. Third-party Facebook contest
apps often offer free versions, but you have limited options with them.
4. Promoted posts on Facebook
A Facebook page owner can pay a flat fee to have their post reach a certain number of users, increasing a post's reach and impressions.
A few businesses have asked - why
should I have to pay to ensure my posts are seen by my followers? If a user
likes my page, they should always see my posts in their news feed, shouldn't
they?
Answer: No, because this question
assumes that users spend every waking moment on Facebook's news feed. We hope
this isn't true for the health and safety of your Facebook fans!
5. Sponsored content
Sponsored Stories are Facebook ads that show a user's interactions, such as a Facebook like, to their friends. Sponsored Stories leverages the concept of "word of mouth" marketing.
When a user sees that three of his friends like a particular
page, he is more likely to pay attention to it. The purpose of Sponsored
Stories is to get a user to take the same action as their friends.
Advertisers can choose to show friends who "like" a
page if they want more page likes, show friends who "claim a deal" if
a business wants more users to take advantage of offers, etc.
7. FBX (Facebook
Exchange)
The Facebook Exchange allows advertisers to take advantage of ad
retargeting on Facebook through real-time bidding.
When a user visits a product page on a retailer's website but does not complete a purchase, the retailer can then display an ad for that
product on Facebook with FBX.
Facebook retargeting ads were previously confined to the side
columns, but they now appear within news feeds, Facebook's most precious real
estate.
Newsfeed ads perform 10 to 50 times better than ads placed in
the right column, so this is excellent news for FBX advertisers.
