You got to talk about something, anything, nothing, just go to Facebook. Be it your new job, pictures and videos from the house party last weekend, or the joy of having a few drinks with friends at some bar &#8211; you can share it all on Facebook. The social media platform quite literally wants to know \u2018what\u2019s on your mind?\u2019 And what makes this social media platform stand out is the simplicity with which it has managed to bring casual and professional content on the same stage. With the launch of Facebook pages in 2007, FB, as we fondly call it, opened the gates of social media for business. Later when Facebook Timeline for brands came into the picture, it was quite clear &#8211; Facebook Business was not just another \u2018<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/click-to-conversion-time-part-i-what-this-metric-can-tell-you-about-your-clientele-34002\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">click to conversion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019 social media platform; it\u2019s a platform where brands come to life to narrate their story. <\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1486\" style=\"width: 950px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1486\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1486\" src=\"https:\/\/spacebar.in\/contentious\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/using-FB-for-business-2.jpg\" alt=\"social media for business\" width=\"940\" height=\"624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spacebar.in\/contentious\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/using-FB-for-business-2.jpg 940w, https:\/\/spacebar.in\/contentious\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/using-FB-for-business-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/spacebar.in\/contentious\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/using-FB-for-business-2-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1486\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Facebook for Business<\/p><\/div>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image source: pexels.com<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two billion people use Facebook every month &#8211; to connect with friends and family or to explore and discover what\u2019s making a buzz. Now, whether you sell out of a physical store, or have trade online or through an app, you can\u2019t afford to miss out on capitalizing an audience that big, or can you? Facebook Business offers a versatile understanding of your business goals. So, no matter how granular and unique your goals may be, they will fall under one of the larger goals that Facebook covers &#8211; awareness, engagement, and conversion. The platform allows you to take your business further with utmost sincerity, whether you run a whole campaign or a single ad. Excited to use Facebook Business already? Well, before you start, I\u2019d wish for you to know how you can make the most of your time on Facebook Business. Here\u2019s how:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have clear goals<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to first decide what is it that you expect out of your business page. You can\u2019t just create a brand page and expect magic to happen! For instance, if your goal is to have at least 100 followers in the first one month after creating a page, you\u2019d want to do the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Share engaging content, especially videos<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use hashtags<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create shareable content<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Re-share other people\u2019s content<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reach out to influencers<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The kind of content you create or curate largely depends on what you aim to get out of Facebook Business. Therefore, spend some time carefully deciding on your goals. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make a soft pitch<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People come to Facebook to have some fun, relax, chit chat, and in the process come across, and, maybe, engage with your brand. Your product promotions and sales pitch must come<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">before the audience under the disguise of some fun facts, discount coupons, or interesting posts that generate natural curiosity to follow. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/spacebar.in\/contentious-old\/tag\/content-marketing-strategy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aggressive marketing tactics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like inundating the followers with products and slogan in isolation from any related conversation may backfire. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be regular<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies have revealed that more than 50% of Facebook users check their account or the pages they follow, at least once in a day. Now, imagine that a customer visits your shop once daily. Will you show him the same product every day or would you rather showcase the wide range of products or services that you offer? Similarly, you don\u2019t want visitors to your page thinking that you have nothing new to share with them and take the risk of losing their interest in your brand completely after a while. Besides, fresh and regular content updates make a brand look more professional, serious, and knowledgeable about their work. Furthermore, the reaction of followers to your content helps you gauge the interest and inclination of your followers, better.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Promote your page<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last but not the least, promote your Facebook page throughout your personal and professional network, both online and offline. Don\u2019t treat your page as a secondary marketing endeavor to gain some \u2018extra\u2019 business \u2018if possible.\u2019 Make your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/spacebar.in\/contentious-old\/blogs\/How-to-get-started-with-social-media-marketing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">social media marketing campaigns<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> work in tandem with the other traditional marketing methods you\u2019re already using. Include your Facebook address on your business cards, email signatures, letterheads, website, and advertisements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not really rocket science to get your business up and running on Facebook. A focused strategy, consistent efforts, and quality content and you\u2019d be making millions on that page of yours!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook has become such a go-to place for most of us today, that the whole distinction between Facebook for personal use versus Facebook for business seems to have just lost relevance.
