Facebook Marketing Strategies for Business

Many business executives recognize the need for marketing on Facebook and have taken the first step by creating a Facebook Page for their business. But following the page is created, many CEO's drop the ball and don't take full advantage of everything Facebook has to offer for their business. So, we have compiled a list of marketing tips for business people.

Posting on Other Business Pages

Facebook Fan Pages have evolved into a place where Pages can post and update on other Pages. In "Page" mode, you can like and comment on other pages. In Page mode you are able to write around the profiles of your friends. Wall posts are no longer in chronological order, and that we don't really have a lot of control around the posts on our Pages. The good news like a Facebook admin is that you can "view" your page in chronological order. To do this under "wall" click "admin view". This helps you to definitely organize your personal page by viewing it in the order that is easiest to know and manage.

As you are in "page view mode", if the name of the fan page isn't your real name, out of the box the situation with most fan pages (those are the name from the business), it is important to add a name for your post. If you're commenting on other fan pages, go on and sign off after your comment having a dash as well as your first name. This can help to add a personal touch for your posts and improves your engagement factor.

Consider how you are coming across. Are you at your competitors' pages due to self-serving agenda or are you currently there to contribute? We recommend that you need to do most of your networking in business industry that isn't just like your business (a non-competitive industry). You can post on the pages of companies which are associated with yours, although not your competitors. You might get more results this way.

Prevent Spam on your Own Page

Many business people have seen that, sometimes, their competitors will spam their page. Facebook now has spam filters which you can use to curve this. In order to access and utilize Facebook spam filters, you can find it under "edit page" and it allows you to load keywords which are put in the spam filter which means you, as the admin, can automatically filter posts. This is situated in "admin view". Comments appear inside a light color which many people have said is much more hard to see, however, it is still very useful.

Notifications could be by email or turn that off by clicking "edit page". This really is helpful because when you receive new fans or comments you can get notifications.

Marketing Tips

1. Photo Strip towards the top of your Page.

The photos towards the top of your page would be the five photos which are probably the most recently uploaded. You are able to delete them by clicking the X in the right-hand corner of each page.

The "Photo Strip" at the top acts just like a photo viewer and the photos pop up so the viewer doesn't lose their place when examining photos. Have some custom graphics made for the top 5 photos on your page. They may be 970 x 680 pixels. We recommend that you leave white area surrounding the perimeters of the photos. FB will shrink these to a 97 x 68 thumbnail. Use images with a call-to-action such as "click here", "find out more", "get details", or "free download". When visitors click that image, the look will appear. In the description of this image, put details along with a call-to-action having a link or your phone number so visitors can easily contact you.

2. Links across the left-hand section of your Page.

Reset an order of your links on the left-hand side of your Facebook Page. If you have a lot more than 7, you will notice a "more" link and after that you are able to drag and drop those links. Place the "landing tab" at the bottom which is usually a "welcome" where visitors land. By doing this once they visit your welcome page, all of your links will be expanded plus they can easily see your whole listing of all of your links across the left-hand section of your page.

3. Take advantage of Facebook iFrames by adding interesting content.

Facebook uses iFrames and even though it is a touch more complicated, it provides you with a chance to add images, videos and opt-in boxes along with a proactive approach. You'll have a whole page designed by yourself site after which post that inside your iFrame within your Facebook page making that the custom landing tab. Additionally, you can take Facebook ads out and drag them specifically to landing pages and links on your Facebook page. This provides the capability to test different promotions and offers. You can experiment and test with your different offers on different iFrames links in your page.

4. Updates feature provides the opportunity of free advertising in valuable Facebook real-estate.

Click "edit page" "marketing". You are able to send all of your fans updates. Each one of these communications get into "other". On the top right-hand corner of Facebook, you will see an area called "Unread Updates". This is valuable real-estate so that if you use "updates" more often, you will get your fans more interested in your fan page. If you have a really active post in your wall, you can take that exact link and include that in to the "updates" which means that your fans will see that on the top right-hand corner of their page. By utilizing "updates" you'll have free ads on your own also it appears on top right-hand corner of your fans' pages.

5. Increase visibility and engagement with Facebook News Feeds.

Research has shown that As much as 90% of your fans do not return to your page after they click the "like" page. Not to worry, however, because by maximizing your visibility in Facebook News Feed, you are able to still be visible for your fans and engage them to be able to "remind" them about your business and increase people to your main web site, which after all, is the next step in upping your bottom line.

Your fans can easily see your content within their news feed. However the real question is "how do your get your content visible in your fan's news page?". Facebook uses a very complex algorithm (called "edge rank"), therefore we have no idea precisely why some posts appear in news feeds plus some don't, but we do understand what can improve your visibility in your fans' news feed.

Tips to improve your visibility in your fans' news page include:

Post before noon in your time zone.
Post One to two times a day. Do not over post. Some companies import tweets and "over post". This can hurt your "edge rank", (the algorithm that Facebook uses), which could ultimately lead to you showing up less and less in your fans' news feed.
Use questions.
Keep posts short and straightforward.
Be personal.
Use other people's content. Include photos, videos, and links. Create your own ways of increase your visibility in news feeds.

By utilizing these tips, you can increase visibility on Facebook and engage more fans.
