What sort of marketing are you interested in? When it comes to Facebook, you can really take a variety of avenues to reach out to customers and potential leads. You are only held back by your imagination and education, and this article should help you out with the latter, at least.
Take the time to fill out your Facebook profile with useful information and more details about your brand. Add a link to your website and write a brief description of your brand or products. Use a visitor counter to get an idea of how many visitors follow this link to access your homepage.
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.
Be sure to update your Facebook page regularly. It doesn’t matter how great your Facebook page is. If you’re failing to update on a regular basis, you could be losing the attention of your customers. Make sure you post to the page often and answer any customer questions or feedback in a timely manner.
You may want to buy an advertisement on Facebook. Your ad can be customized so that people in a specific age group or gender can see it. You can also work within a budget and do as much or as little as you would like. You don’t have to make any commitments long-term, either. Your ad can be ceased at any time.
Try holding a giveaway. Try giving something free to a special group of customers that “like’ your page or sign up for your mailing list. This will not cost you a fortune and will help you stay in touch in a way no other marketing technique lets you.
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.
Now that you understand the how, what, why, when and where, or at least how to figure them out for yourself, you just need to supply the imagination to create an outstanding Facebook marketing campaign. Take the time necessary to do the job right the first time. When you do, your campaign should really take off.
