I help small businesses with their Social Media Strategies. I consult, train, create content, edit and build profiles.
It's awesome, I really love what I do.
After it's all said and done, the business owner has to create change. Great! We have a page on Facebook..but we aren't getting any fans.
This may seem like a no-brainer, but this is what you need to do:
- Integrate Do you have your URL's and profile names on your business cards, brochures, stationary, receipts? Have you changed your "signature" on your email to include a link to your Social Media profiles?
- Ask Train your employees to encourage customers to become a Fan or Follower. Post creative signage with a "Text: FAN (insert Facebook URL here) to 32655. Ask your customers through email, newsletters, etc.
- Offer Make it worth their while to Fan or Follow. Create a giveaway or coupon that customers can find on your profile. Warning: You cannot make it mandatory for a "like" or comment to be used for entering a contest, it's against Facebook's rules. You can offer exclusive coupons and offers. Also, keep in mind that you may lose some of these fans eventually. Some of them are just liking your page to get the offer.
- Advertise Facebook Ads can help get you fans. I know it, I've witnessed it, it works. Do you have links on your website?
- Be Social Interact with others. Comment, Like, Retweet, Reblog, Follow... as the business and personally. We don't call it Social Media for nuttin'. It's free advertising. "Hmmm, I wonder what Crazy Mutt Marketing is all about? I'll just click and find out".
- Be Patient You are not a Coca Cola. You will not get 10 million fans. You will be successful, but you have to have some patience and work at it. Give your current Fans and Followers great content and use the tips above.
