As you start to post updates, photos, and more, think about what your customers like and what is catching their attention. They more they interact with your page is a sign that they like what is being posted. Using page insights can be very helpful when seeing what is more worth while – ex. posting photos or posting useful links.

  • Be original: Be honest with your customers and post what you are genuinely excited about. This will get your customers excited too!

  • Successful posts: If you are finding that certain posts are more successful than others, use that as a tool to promote! Create more like that and replicate it to get more engagement.

Who Benefits most from Facebook marketing?

Opposed to what many may think, Facebook marketing is a very effective strategy for building your business, especially for small company’s.

  • Facebook helps to represent the company in a more specific way.

  • Small business offer unique services and Facebook can help reach certain communities of people that will benefit from your business.

  • Facebook allows small businesses to compete with larger companies in a way that is more efficient for their company. Often times, big businesses don’t have the time to get down to the nitty gritty details that small business can provide.
