Staying up to date with current trends is imperative when marketing a business. Facebook is one of the largest social networks on the planet, and it would be foolish to not incorporate Facebook into your overall marketing strategy. Keep all of these tips in mind so that you can create the most effective campaign possible on Facebook.

Always post a link to any new content on your site to your Facebook wall. If your site has a blog, include a summary and then link the posts automatically via your Facebook. Also, if you have a Twitter account, link it to your Facebook so your tweets show up automatically on your Wall.

The best way to engage your followers is to reply to what they write on your wall or about your company. This, at a minimum, means you need to have someone read wall postings each day and check for “@” postings from other users. When it is someone complaining, you must reply immediately.

Give Facebook ads a try. Just posting normally isn’t going to do all that much in terms of promoting a product or service compared to having an ad taken out. If you want to reach a lot of people all at once you should try buying an ad on Facebook. These ads are not expensive and can quickly increase your followers and your sales.

A page is great, but a group might be a better idea. This can encourage subscribers to make a community online and communicate regularly. You can have both a group and a page, the page for updates and the group for interactivity.

Using “custom audiences”, you can upload the email addresses of your current customers and then target your ads towards them only. Your conversion rate will be better and your campaign will be less expensive as a result.

Facebook Offers is a great tool for promoting giveaways and contests on your site. Set up your offer and switch it to Promoted Post via your Wall. If it is a really good offer, you can even promote it to non-fans.

Choose updates wisely. Subscribers will rapidly grow disinterested if your updates include content they do not find valuable. Keep your updates helpful, educational, or entertaining. Facebook Insights is another tool that you can tap into to increase customer satisfaction.

Giveaways are terrific marketing tricks. Provide a freebie to those who sign up for a mailing list or even just to click “Like”. It will only cost you a small amount of money to garner a lot of attention and new followers.

One way to help convert visitors into followers is by hiding some content from visitors. If there is a portion of the Facebook page that is restricted to followers, casual visitors will be more likely to register. Only hide a bit of your content or you will lose part of the impact of your SEO.

Consider how Facebook can work for you. Since it has so many members, it can greatly benefit your business. Remember what you’ve learned here, and you should do well.

Companies like car dealers may not need a page on Facebook for their business. Irregular customer interaction also means they will be quite uninterested in your postings. Instead, pay for Facebook ads that target customers for you.
