Marketing Tips & Tactics For Small Biz Owners

Are you discouraging interaction with your Facebook Fans?

Posted by Mrs. Starr On January - 13 - 2010

Social media is a marketing tactic that allows you to promote your business and allows your prospects and clients to connect with your business. Social media is all about interaction. Through social media, you are able to get people talking about your business. Visitors to any social media site are easily able to share your content with others they are connected to. In addition, people are able to share their opinions about your company and its products and services.

Although the cost of using most social media tools is free, a significant investment of time is required in order to effectively integrate social media into your marketing mix. Therefore, it is important to ensure that you are doing everything possible to encourage interaction thereby maximizing the benefits of social media.

I am a fan of a lot of other businesses fan pages, and one of the common mistakes I see many businesses make is discouraging interaction with their fans buy not showing posts from fans on their wall.

Wih the default settings your posts and your fans posts appear on seperate tabs.

When visitors to your fan page see others posting, commenting, and interacting with you and your business they are more likely to do the same (call it the monkey see, monkey do principle LOL). If this interaction is hidden you are less likely to have someone post on your wall. The image below shows were I posted a comment on the mainelement:love page, my post shows up along with her content on the main page.

This simple change to your settings will bring all of your content together on your wall. From your fan page click “Edit Page”, scroll down to the Wall Settings and change the default view for wall to “Posts by Page & Fans”. It’s that simple!

And if you haven’t already make sure you become a fan of Starr Studded Weddings & Events!
