In our previous issue, we discussed about effectively communicating with your Facebook fans. In this issue, we are going to talk about using Facebook marketing to provide something of worth to your clients and customers.

Are you aware that half of all Facebook users visit their profiles everyday? This simply means that there are around 250 million of the social networks 500 million who might be able to see your Page.

Imagine being able to tap a percentage of that market for your own product or service. That can equate to tons of dollars in earnings and even more work opportunities that you can actually get a chance to be involved in.

However, that doesn’t mean you can just come up with a Facebook account and expect it to make you rich overnight. Like an official web page, a Facebook account must be worked tirelessly on, adjusted, upgraded and evaluated.

It’s essential that you first examine whether your Facebook business page is offering valuable outcomes while keeping your reputation wholesome.

Do you want to give a touch of corporate professionalism as an extension of your traditional office?

Do you want to add a touch of fun and excitement which will appeal to your target audience?

Or do you simply want your page to be a customer service area where informal questions and inquires can be addressed?

Whatever the goal you have in mind, you must always carry out your Facebook page with as much clarity as you would with your official web page. Avoid posting boring or unnecessary things. Sometimes with a business page, you just have to resist the temptation of being too particular even when such a medium calls for it.

Here are a few more suggestions you should contemplate:

Use Customer Testimonials

It used to be that people who want to keep up with their families and friends would just have to visit their Facebook profile page, view photos, send messages and stuff like that. In these modern times, social media management presents a number of benefits to business owners. You can convince prospects by using testimonials from your current customers or clients. So why not ask your past clients for testimonials? Of course, you would most appreciate highly favorable feedback if given under your own accord. Yet, this may not always be the case based on the value of your products or services. So offer incentives, give out prizes or hold a contest. Say, for example, that every Facebook feedback will give them a 5% discount during their next purchase.

- Personally Connect With Potential Clients or Customers

Whenever there are queries with regards to your products or services on Facebook, make sure that you get back to them right away. Also, you’ll earn a good impression by answering the inquiries very timely. In case this is not possible, at least apologize for the late response.

To keep yourself from answering the same questions over and over again, you will want to provide something like a Frequently asked questions segment on your page. If all the information can’t be provided in the space given, then try using a Notes Page or a similar tool.

- Post Relevant Pictures

Some use the Photos Page while others make pseudo-shops where they feature their merchandise. Whichever is the case, always make sure that the photos are of high quality. Displaying photos that look lifeless and uninteresting won’t appeal to prospects. So be mindful in choosing those. For instance, if you have a jewelry business, you can promote it on Facebook by posting photos that feature the intricate designs of your jewelry pieces.

Always remember these simple suggestions when coming up with content and you’ll have lots of prospects coming in to your business page.
