Posted by Patrick Murphy on Thu, Jun 16, 2011
The message is clear if you haven’t already done it: get your business on Facebook ASAP! With a huge user base to market to, you would be foolish not to dive in with Facebook for your business. It’s not about keeping tabs on your friends and taking quizzes anymore- Facebook can be used as a highly effective marketing tool for your business. You can market your products, reach out to your customers and push your brand awareness like never before possible on Facebook.
Here is a checklist of many things you can do with Facebook for your business:
- Complete all aspects of your business information when you set up the page- this builds trust.
- Familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations behind business pages at Facebook.
- Install apps on your page that can integrate your twitter feeds and blog feeds into your page.
- Post brand photos, and get a great logo.
- Your logo will be visible to users when you make a post, and it will show up in their wall feed- make sure your logo is eye catching.
- Take advantage of Facebook vanity URL’s to increase your branding, and make it easy to promote your page in other print media.
- Use your wall to post updates about your business- for example when you take on a new client, let your followers know.
- Share useful content- this is why people will become a fan of your page- if you can provide something to them that is of value then they will keep coming back.
- In this vein, make sure to share interesting links and videos, which are relevant to your business.. Social media is all about sharing.
- You can combine the other social media platforms with your Facebook presence. For example, if someone asks a question on Twitter, you could write a blog post about the answer, and also post it on your Facebook page.
- Use the invite feature to upload your business contacts and make them aware of your business page.
- Keep on marketing with your promotions and specials- why not provide a Facebook only special, like all fans get a free coupon or discount?
- Make sure to take advantage of Facebook ads to show your presence to a wider audience.
