Facebook offers

Register for Facebook offers as you will be able to advertise all your contests, competitions and freebies. Once you have posted your special offer just use the ‘Promoted Post’ via your page wall as this will reach other people on the whole of Facebook, not just your fans and ‘likes’ and again reaching out to more potential customers all over the world, not just in your local area.

Once someone has signed up to your page, offer them some kind of reward. Sweepstakes and loyalty discounts are always popular. Offer more than one reward, one for signing up and one for suggesting other friends and family. Make it seem like you are easily approachable, family friendly and grateful for their custom.

Your Facebook ad can be edited at any time, so if one idea didn’t work, try another. Try a different color maybe, make it shorter or longer and bullet the right the info. A great way to find out about your adverts is to ask the customers! Create a short questionnaire on the ad, ask the viewers what they think, what do they like, what do they not like? Offer a freebie for them giving their opinion. This will certainly give you your answers a lot quicker and thus saving you advertising costs.

Photos

Using photos on your page will create even more interest, everyone likes to be nosy and of course these days ‘liking’ a photo on social media has become the norm and again you can see what works and what doesn’t work for you and your targeted audience. The more visual your ad is and the more original then the more chance you have of it becoming viral. Everyone loves a good ‘meme’. Take time to make it more visual and eye catching and don’t forget a great tag line.
