In the last issue of Facebook for Business we talked about how to create a page for your business on Facebook. In this issue we are going to talk about how Facebook can help you attract new customers.
As we have discussed before, it’s important to establish online presence through social media management sites particularly Facebook even if your company already has an official website.
But why, you may ask? Pretty simple. That is because Facebook is more reachable and user friendly to other people compared to any business website. It gives a sense of friendliness to companies that would seem too corporate for prospects to check out or a sense of credibility to starting companies who have no website to speak of.
In addition to this, a Facebook page makes it possible for any company to get more interactive towards their customers. They can get feedback for the products, services and promos they offer. While it may seem dangerous because you can be given both positive and negative feedbacks, companies should not be afraid because Facebook is a tool that can be easily moderated.
For instance, if you have a mind to; you can retain the best feedback and just hide the rest. This way, most potential customers will be able to read the positive testimonials of previous customers. Using your company feedback this way will help entice potential customers because of the sense of authenticity that comes with it.
Furthermore, customers who are tired of traditional online marketing such as e-mail newsletters and web ads will look to the Facebook page to have their questions answered. Having a Facebook page will give your business access to over 500 Million users without even having to buy e-mail addresses like what traditional e-mail marketing resort to.
When it comes to communicating with your customers, you are not limited to wall posts and status updates. You can also make use of the photos and notes feature. When using the Fanpage which is the recommended page for businesses (instead of the more personal profile page), you can change the posting ability of fans which allow them to post photos, videos and links to the page.
Potential customers will learn how other customers utilize your products or services. Again, this can engage the community to be more interactive as was successfully executed by Pampers? Facebook Fanpage. There are also some companies like the well-known Ben and Jerry’s that go as far as using customer polling. This gives customers a sense of power with regards to their products, which in turn will give them a sense of ownership and acceptance.
Facebook is also a great tool to add audience to company promos, special prices and discounts as in the case of the company rushIMPRINT, who uses their page to feature their products for sale. The site easily leads back to their official website as well as their toll free number. There are also some that make use of Facebook to offer exclusive deals to their customers.
If you’re implementing Facebook marketing, this is a very good way to determine whether your page is effective or not in attracting customers. You can use give-aways to your Facebook users who can’t be reached through other sites like your business website, email, and Twitter.
Companies like Baskin Robbins develop and utilize a Facebook tool that helps their page become more interactive and attractive to customers. Through their account, they’re giving out a very enticing deal, a Buy One, get one promo that most enthusiasts will not surpass.
The key to an effective Facebook page is to use it with a sense of fun and a good level of interaction. You should also differentiate your company from the rest of the market. If used this way, you’ll quickly get a nice return for your simple work.
Keep watch for our next issue. We will discuss more details about creating a Fan Page for your business using Facebook.
