Facebook has now become the major platform for marketing business and products online. Facebook currently has over 500 Million active users and the number is increasing everyday. If fb were a country, it would be the 3rd biggest country in the world. If you want to be successful, there are some very specific things that you need to consider when it comes to marketing on facebook.
Some products may not be appropriate for facebook marketing, so you do need to perform a proper market research and size your market properly.
With that in mind, it is a great idea to market and promote your products or services on facebook. The biggest reason why you want to use fb as marketing platform is because you could easily get a ton of potential buyers and grow your business quickly.
Just think about it, if you could have just 1% of overall facebook population, you are looking at 5,000,000 potential customers here. Where else can you get so many potential buyers so easily and quickly?
Here are 3 best ways to promote your products or services on facebook...
Hold a Contest:
Holding a contest is one of the best ways to gain fans on your facebook page. You can hold a contest for almost anything, such as a photo contest for your photography blog, writing contest, a “fan” contest where you have people join your fan page and when it gets to a certain number you will donate money to a specific charity, etc. The options are truly limited when it comes to a contest. You can spend a lot of money on it, or get donations or prizes and give away some of your own products.
Give an Incentive:
Sometimes just giving people an incentive to join your Fan Page is enough. For example, if they join your fan page and they buy your product from you at the same time they can get $2 off their order, for example. Giving people a reason is sometimes all that is needed to get them to join.
Promote It:
Promoting your facebook fan page every week in a blog post or in your email news letter can do wonders for getting people to join it. Combining promotion through your other channels (such as twitter) and a contest or incentive, you should quickly see your marketing efforts on fb benefit your business.
