Effective Facebook Marketing Comes Down to These 3 Things

No online wedding marketing strategy is complete without Facebook. The world’s largest social network can give your campaigns enormous reach, especially when you integrate it with your other marketing tools. According to a recent survey, 96 percent of small businesses now have a company Facebook page. If you’re in that 96%, fantastic – but are you getting the most out of it?

Effective Facebook marketing comes down to three key points:

  1. Customer Service
  2. Content and
  3. Connections

Let’s discuss each component:

Customer Service
Having a Facebook page where brides can post reviews, comments and even complaints is essential to building a rapport. Over time, that rapport will turn into brand loyalty. It also inspires word of mouth, as customers/fans encourage their friends to “like” your page, and try your product/service. Try to monitor your company page for a few minutes a day and respond to comments within 24 hours or less. You can also sign up to receive an email alert whenever someone posts to your page.

Content
Your Facebook page is a face for your business. Keep it fresh. Share news, offer promotions, link to outside content and thank brides for their feedback. Think for a second about how you use Facebook to check out your friends’ news and click through their photo galleries. Brides want to check out your business the same way. Facebook is an ideal platform to share product photos and for brides to post their own photos of your products in action.

It’s not just about engagement. There are several apps available that let you add “buy now” buttons to photos, taking customers straight to your website. Other apps let you create customized coupons for your fans, and host customer sweepstakes on your Facebook page. Whether you use apps or not, aim for one update, post or promotion per day.

Connections
Social media is a vital publicity tool, which makes it an integral part of effective marketing. Getting “likes” and fans is how companies build connections on Facebook. Got a special event happening? Send a message to your fans. Need feedback on a new product? Create a quick survey using a Facebook survey app. The more you connect with your current fans, the more likely their friends are to see your page and become fans (and customers) themselves.

Remember that growing a fan base on Facebook isn’t a popularity contest. It’s about building loyalty for the long-term, one interaction at a time.

    Facebook is by far the greatest social media site and is continuing to grow like wild-fire. Facebook is not just another social media site, it is a great phenomenon which is shifting the way we communicate. Facebook is the number two most visited site on the planet. Money is made where communication is developed and Facebook is the number one place to do so.
