Leverage the power of Facebook to Build Your Brand and Start Engaging Customers today. As a marketing tool, Facebook is here to stay. Many people give up as they don’t get the desired result immediately, i.e. a huge increase in sales. However, consider marketing on Facebook as a step by step process: you first build trust, traffic and eventually - sales. That’s why a Facebook Social Media Marketing strategy is important.
Four Simply Steps to Create Your Presence On Facebook: 1. Facebook Profile: By creating a profile for yourself or your business, you are establishing your identity. This will take you a long way in developing relationships with fellow users and in positioning your business. Here are some aspects of a profile page:
o Profile Picture: Always put your best foot forward, which means use the most flattering picture as your profile picture.
o Add Friends: After creating a profile, don’t wait for things to happen. Add new friends every day and the word will spread that you’re on Facebook. Before you know it, you’ll be starting your day by accepting friend requests!
o Wall: This is your main platform to interact with other Facebook users. Post messages on your wall and also comment on members’ activities, though, only when relevant.
o Photo Albums and Videos: Photos and videos are a great way to showcase the latest collection of your product . People who love to see what goes on behind the scene. 2. Fan Pages: Facebook Pages, known as Fan Pages, are designed for individuals, businesses, brands, companies, products and celebrities. It enables public figures, organizations and other entities to create an authentic and public presence on Facebook. You can encourage users to become fans of your page and share information with them by uploading pictures, videos, status updates, hosting discussions and displaying wall posts. Unlike Facebook Profiles, Pages are visible to everyone on the internet and are generally better for long-term relationships with your fans, readers or customers. 3. Groups: Facebook Groups allow people to come together around a common cause or activity to express their views. One of the best features of groups is the ability to send messages directly to members’ Facebook inboxes. It’s a great way to form a community and help your brand image.
Groups are generally better for hosting quick active discussions and attracting attention. 4. Events: Simply put, Facebook Events can help you connect with your target audience and invite them for your events, even if they aren’t on your friend list or one of your fans. Events can be created individually or even from Profiles, Pages. Facebook gives you a choice between making the event Public and Private.
