Facebook Marketing 101 Everything You Need To Know

Is Facebook marketing a mystery to you? Instead of guessing at what you need to do, slow down and take the time to learn the basics. This article is a good starting point for learning how to create a successful marketing campaign on Facebook that will attract lots of customers.

Create a unique Facebook page that is capapble of standing apart from the rest. The key to marketing on Facebook is to not look just like the other guys. Almost everyone uses Facebook these days, so you must be different if you want to be noticed before one of your competitors is.

Consider surfing Facebook as your company instead of yourself. When you're on your page, you have the opportunity to check out Facebook as the page itself. Do this and like pages which you think have a similar fan base, and then comment on those pages as well to get your name out to an expanded audience.

Focus all of your Facebook posts towards your business or industry. Make them relevant and inform your customers and fans about things they would be interested in. Don't just make a post without having a purpose. Your customers already have enough information coming to them, so make your posts relevant so they stand out.

Create a Facebook ad. Your products or service will only receive so much promotion from your normal postings. Purchase Facebook ads to expand your business. These will add to the traffic that your product brings.

Think of Facebook as a dialogue. A lot of people when they begin Facebook marketing, talk AT their audience. You need to talk WITH your audience. Feel like you are having a conversation with them, not like you are announcing things to them. Remember, Facebook is a social medium. You need to be social.

Facebook Offers can help you get the word out about a giveaway. All that needs to be done is you should get the offer set up and use the Promoted Post option. If your offer is really good, you can consider opening it up to non-fans.

When using Facebook to promote your business, use photos to convey messages. Photos are a great way to showcase what you have to offer. They also allow you to write in descriptions and additional information that your users will find helpful or interesting. Don't neglect to describe your photos, you will be missing out on key SEO and search capabilities.

Try using a call-to-action graphic to convert visitors to your page into followers of your page. This will encourage people to "like" your page in order to receive some discount or content. When people come to your page, all they see is "like our page for more info", then after they like the page, they can see the content.

You should consider hiring someone to handle your Facebook marketing strategy. Facebook has become very competitive recently due to its high rate of use, and because of this it can be hard for an amateur to create a quality page that can stand out. If you do not feel comfortable on Facebook this is probably your best bet.

Take advantage of the Facebook Places feature. This will allow people to let others know when they are at your place of business. If you don't link your places page with your main page, people will be sent to a generic page. You want them to end up on the page that has the correct branding, so link the pages as soon as possible.

Facebook marketing should no longer be a mysterious art. You should now know what to do to get started. Of course, it's important to always keep learning! However, the tips you just read should carry you through the beginning stages of your marketing campaign so that you can see some success.
