Many of us read John Novak's post this week on "Facebook Fan Page Basics" and heard the call to action to either create a page or to develop the pages that we already have.
Among some of the many comments made on John's post was:
"How do I get fans for my FACEBOOK fan page?"
Great question... with lots of answers and strategies. Here are a few tips that have worked for.....
THE SERENA GROUP'S ......FAN PAGE!
- Send out an invitation from your page to all your FACEBOOK Friends to "fan" your page. Ask some of your friends to do the same.
- Join groups in Facebook and post information on the group page adding a link to your fan page at the bottom of your post.
- Send a link to your fan page with all of your email blasts to your database with the phrase: "FIND US ON FACEBOOK!"
- Add a "FACEBOOK Widget" to your Active Rain blog and/or any other blog's sidebar that links back to your FACEBOOK Fan Page
- Add a link to your fan page to the end of your email signature
- Add the "URL" to your fan page to all of your print advertising
- Put a "FIND US ON FACEBOOK" widget or link to the home page of your website
- Do a "paid" ad through FACEBOOK advertising
- Make sure to put a link to your fan page on every profile that you have on the Internet... for example: Linkedin, MySpace, Yahoo, Google, etc.
- When you get a "new friend" on FACEBOOK, go to their wall and do a "thanks for friending me" post with a link and request to visit your page.
- Find local business profiles on FACEBOOK and post to their wall with a link to your fan page.
- Do a special "FIND US ON FACEBOOK!" email blast, initially when creating your fan page to unveil it to your sphere of influence and your database.
- Add a link to your fan page to your newsletter and enewsletters.
After you have 25 fans, you can create a "custom or vanity URL" for your fan page here: VANITY URL FOR FACEBOOK FAN PAGE. A "custom FACEBOOK URL" should be "keyword" specific to your business and is more memorable because of the customization... making it easier to share!
Once you have a "custom FACEBOOK URL" ... you can;
- Have it printed on your business cards
- Print it on all your property flyers
- Make sure to add "FIND US ON FACEBOOK" to your phone scripts and give the "custom URL" verbally.
These a a few of our ideas of ways to generate interest and attract fans to your FACEBOOK FAN PAGES ...
