Would you like to beat their campaigns? You're going to need to put in some effort and find the right information. Integrate your Facebook page with your other campaigns. Place links to your Facebook page on your blog, website and in the signature of your professional emails. You should draw attention to your Facebook page by presenting it as a way to get access to exclusive content and more promotional offers. Try having a contest to increase followers on your Facebook page. People love to have the chance to win something. If you offer incentives, like additional entries into the contest for sharing, then you will not only give your current followers something of value, but also increase your visibility when they share your contest. 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! When using Facebook to promote your business, use photos to convey messages. Photos are a great way to showcase what you have to offer. They also allow you to write in descriptions and


additional information that your users will find helpful or interesting. Don't neglect to describe your photos, you will be missing out on key SEO and search capabilities. 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. The idea of marketing on Facebook is to get more business for your company. Thus, you should set incremental monetary goals for your company. It is good to garner lots of "likes," but you also want to convert them to sales. Monitor your progress and tweak your strategies when you find they are not effective. Try sending updates. Facebook Page Administrators can send messages to every person that "Likes" their page. When you have something valuable on your Facebook business page that your fans should know about, you can send them an update so that they're aware of it. Be prudent with how often you do this by only sending updates to fans when it's really important. Determine why you are creating a Facebook page in the first fashion. You don't have a Facebook page just to have one. Is your page informing your customers on your latest deals, sales and promotions? Is it so you can read their communications to you? Using your Facebook page to market is different from using your page to communicate with customers. Figure out the best time for your Facebook posts. You will get more attention for your updates if you post them when your subscribers are checking Facebook. You could for instance share updates around noon if your subscribers are likely to check Facebook during their lunch break or share your updates during the evening. Come up with your own voice. It may be tempting to approach your Facebook marketing just like you see others have done before you. Yes, learn from their tactics, but don't steal their personality. It's important to find your own personality online so that people know what to expect from you. Plus, it can feel disingenuous if it's a personality that just doesn't fit your brand. The competition should now be quaking in their boots. Now you have the keys to teach others about success. Use what you have learned here and reach out to your global audience.
