Everyone is trying to cash in on the social media marketing craze. The biggest player in the social media game for now is Facebook. So how do you get Facebook fans?
- Have cards in your business encouraging your customers to become a fan. Make sure you have a permanent Facebook URL first.
- Add your Facebook fan page links to your website and newsletter.
- Include a signature line on all outgoing e-mails with links to your fan page.
- Hold contests on your fan page that encourage other fans to suggest your page to their friends.
- Post interesting content, including photos, which encourages your fans to share with their friends.
- Cross-post your Facebook fan page link on other social media sites such as Twitter.
- Peruse other Facebook fan pages under your fan page name and post links or comments. These link back to your fan page; just be careful not to spam other pages. Only post relevant, useful information.
- Use Facebook Ads and Sponsored Stories.
Although many of these options are free, they can be time consuming. Please let us know if we can help you with your Facebook fan page.
