When marketing is your business, you need Facebook as your partner. No place else can you get the massive exposure to potential customers at such minimal costs. If you aren’t yet using Facebook as your number one marketing tool, the following article will show you why you should be and how to do it.
Set some goals for your Facebook marketing campaign. You can launch your campaign on a trial basis if you are not sure how your audience will react to it. Once you get a better idea of how interested your customers are, you should set some reasonable goals for your campaign.
If you are especially shy, you should find a way to overcome that before you start trying to market your business. People will not clamor to do business with someone that seems to have a hard time communicating. If this is not something you can change, you should consider hiring someone to do your marketing for you.
Look into buying ads through Facebook. You are able to customize your ad so that only one gender or a certain age group can see it. If you have a budget, do as much as you want. There are also no long-term commitments required. Your ad can be ceased at any time.
Use Facebook as a customer service tool. Invite customers to send you questions, comments or complaints by commenting on your Facebook page. This is a great way to display your excellent customer service policies. Answer questions in details and offer refunds or new products right away to the customers who complain.
Offer something exclusive if someone “Likes” your page. You can garner lots of attention via “likes.” Think about something exclusive and free when someone likes your page. It may be something you offer to others, or perhaps the chance to win your sweepstakes contest. If someone sees a chance to get something of value, they will be more likely to click that button.
Don’t think of your fans as numbers. That’s a big no-no in Facebook marketing. You aren’t collecting numbers, you are building brand champions. You are creating a community of people who love your company or brand. Treat them with the respect that they are due. These people can make a difference for your company.
Marketing is a fast-paced, high-pressure business and fortunately for you, Facebook is making it a lot easier. Use the advice from this article to get your profile up and running and watch the results! By putting just a few minutes into your campaign every day, you can reach thousands of new customers and get business booming.
