Tips And Technqiues On Facebook Marketing For Your Business

By Cinthia Yomes


There is no single strategy that guarantees you will gather a profitable following on Facebook. The audience of each business has certain things they need and want, as well as things they don't like. If you want to use this resource to get more customers then you need to learn a few things; this article will provide you with just that.

When you use Facebook as a marketing strategy for your business, make sure your tone is always professional. Social media has to be taken in a serious manner to make profits. If you keep it professional, you will gain the respect and trust of your clientele.

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.

Have a discount or a freebie on your Facebook page is a great way to increase followers. People love freebies. Offering a freebie or other discount will encourage your followers to share the offer. When people share your offer, you are exposing your business to additional customers that may not have heard of you.

Avoid posting updates too frequently. If you notice that your subscribers are not interested in your updates, try reducing the frequency of your updates. Save the content you want to share so you can post more valuable updates later. Posting one daily update is your best option if your subscribers check Facebook regularly.

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.

Make custom tabs on your Facebook page. You will automatically have a few tabs set up for you when you first create your page, but it is possible to get creative and add in a few of your own. For instance, think about including a tab that has links to information that you find valuable.

Never rely on anyone else's advice as to when the best time for updating your page is. While a non-profit may find people are more charitable on the weekend, that doesn't mean your customers aren't actually checking out your page at work. Do your own research to figure out when you should be posting.

Be extra sure that people are able to "share" the content on your page. If you have valuable information on your page, you will probably have people in your audience that want to tell others about it. Facebook is great for sharing and connecting information and people. A higher amount of prospective customers will generate more profits for your business.

As the beginning of this piece discussed, social media has become increasing popular, which makes it a great tool to market one's products or services. However, it does take some knowledge to ensure you are using this marketing properly. By using the tips above, Facebook marketing will prove to be your best friend!
