Facebook Marketing 101: Everything You Need To Know

By Brian Hepburn


When it comes to marketing, why not use one of the most popular social media platforms in existence? Facebook marketing has taken off in recent years and for good reason, it is among the best ways to get your business exposed to the masses. Read on and learn everything you need to about Facebook marketing.

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.

Hold a giveaway promotion to get more followers. Give something away a winner picked from you followers. It will only cost you a small amount of money to garner a lot of attention and new followers.

Think of a good reason why people should become a fan of you or your company. When you can answer this "why", you are prepared to deliver something to them that'll get your fans to stick around and become engaged with the brand. Make it the center of your promotion.

Do not post so much on your Facebook page that people will begin to feel too saturated by you. You want to give them something to think about, so let a little space flow in between each posting. Facebook recommends new page owners post no more than once or twice a week.

Chose what you share as an update carefully. Your followers will become disinterested if you aren't sharing content that they can use. They want to read something interesting or that entertains them. Facebook Insights is another tool that you can tap into to increase customer satisfaction.

Make sure your posts have value. Basically, whether it's some helpful information or a look at a hot, new product, all posts should contain useful information. Don't go for the hard sell in your postings or your clients will not enjoy reading your posts, particularly when it appears too regularly in their feed.

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.

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.

Use videos to make your Facebook page even more engaging. Facebook is a really visual social media platform. It's much more visual than Twitter. Photos are great on Facebook, and videos can really be show stoppers. If you've got great videos to share, you can see your posts get a lot more likes!

Be careful about how often you use Facebook Update. This ability allows you to send a message to all of your followers. You should use this feature for important events and news. This is not something you should use to promote things, just use it to show your followers that you wish to keep them informed.

If you have a Facebook page for your business or service already, you might not be using it in a way that can render the most benefit. Make sure that you are using this amazing marketing tool to the best of your ability. Remember the tips in this article and apply them as soon as you can!
