It’s vital to learn how to market your business on Facebook. Without a Facebook presence, you look less legitimate and miss out on many opportunities to connect with customers. If you aren’t sure what to do, don’t worry. With a little education, you’ll soon be up to speed on how to market your business.
If you have a follower complaining on your Facebook page, try your best to resolve the issue publicly. This will let others know that you are a reputable business and will handle all of your obligations. If you cannot resolve a dispute with a customer publicly, try handling it in private.
Be careful of any images you post as ads, as only 20% of the image can be actual text. If you end up submitting an image which has more than 20% text, it will be rejected and you’ve wasted your time. Be creative and create an image which captures your audience’s attention.
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.
Make sure your posts have value. Put useful and interesting information in every post so people truly benefit from the time they spend with you. Avoid “empty” posts. Don’t be too much of a salesman, however, or people will get tired of your updates.
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.
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.
Your page can “like” and post on other Facebook pages. However, tread carefully here. You do not want to simply spam other walls or post meaningless content. Look for opportunities to add value and interject your opinion. Doing so in the right way could help you be seen as a leader in your field.
Always integrate your Facebook page with your website. The look and feel of the Facebook pages needs to match your website and other social media accounts. If your website is primarily red with custom graphics, use the same graphics and colors on your Facebook page for a more authentic look.
As you can see, Facebook marketing isn’t that hard once you understand what you’re doing. Make sure to use the tips you just read consistently so that you can demonstrate to your customers that you’re serious about your business. Soon you’ll wonder why you ever tried to market your business without Facebook.
