Facebook Marketing

Hey Rainers...Facebook prefers we keep our business related information on our fan pages, not our personal profiles (although they are pretty lax about this area of their Terms-of-Service). So for those who have asked recently why I never include personal pages in this weekly article, now you know. I do not want to get you in trouble with FB by promoting sharing business information in a non-biz environment. ;-) 

A quick virtual show of hands by everyone who changed their cover photo this week to go with a holiday theme. I changed mine. I know a few of you did because you sent me the links to come and check out your pages. Kudos to you for changing things up a bit. 

I am very pleased to showcase the 5 Rainers below this week. When you visit them on Facebook you will find their pages/presence range from just getting a foothold to advanced. You never know what you may find so stop by and take away something you can incorporate into your own FB marketing. 

PLEASE stop by their Facebook Fan Pages, LIKE their page, and leave a comment. It is always nice to reciprocate, so if you are visited, please take a minute and return LIKE those that stopped by your Facebook Fan Page. Helping each other helps us all on social media...enjoy Rainers!

Happy Facebook Fridays, Rainers!

I still have not found the end of the Internet in my search for quality FB information to share with you (thankfully). This week we will focus on video/ad use because they are both fantastic ways to get your content seen by a lot more consumers. Take a few minutes to check out the articles. For those who are ready to get in the Facebook game, there is even an article for you too. ;-)  

No need to be shy...jump right in Rainers and begin the next journey with your Facebook marketing. You have absolutely nothing to lose!

Please come back and tell us all about your FB escapades...we would love to celebrate your success. 

As always, enjoy Rainers! ;-)

Happy Facebook Fridays!

Good morning Anita. I have not made any changes to my profile in a long time. Are you suggesting that would be a good idea for me?

Hi Anita.  I'm curious if you will ever get to the end of potential Facebook pages from here in the Rain.

Good morning Anita,

The personal page of many lately is too consumed with religion and politics!

All five have been viewed and liked.

Make yourself a great day.

Anita, I do try and put the business on the business page, but many agent friends do not want to "like" our business.   If we have a hot listing, it is better to put on our personal page so the local agents will see it, sadly.

Good morning, Anita... I did not change my cover photo either on my personal or my business page for the holiday season. I like staying consistent and for my marketing to be recognizable immediately. (And I'm also just too lazy to worry about it! )

I'm with Nina...although I may do something similar in the spring to shake it up...like the new live video & glad you pointed me onto it, Anita.

Anita, thank you for always providing us with such great tips. I had never thought to change my FB photo on the business page as the seasons change and I think that's a great idea. Something new for our fans!

On my to do list is setting up a 2nd FB business page dedicated to our niche housing.  Considering FB's emphasis on their own search, time to feed the beast a bit more that might help us in the long run.

It is good advice to post all of those listings on a page rather than on a personal profile.

Thanks Wayne. I know they will appreciate it.

Joe: Absolutely...give your readers something fresh to see. You could even turn it into a contest.

Gita: You can tweak your settings to lock down your personal page.

Gabe: I have wondered the same thing. ;-)

I'll swing by and take a look, Dorie. I bet it looks great.

Raymond: All the more reason to keep them separate.

Joan: Market to consumers, not other local agents on your biz page.

Nina: If it is working, press on.

That seems to be a big hit, Ginny. You cannot go wrong with video use.

Thanks as always for the support, John & Debbie.

Amanda: No idea if it will bring you new biz but it does show others your page is active.

Thanks Sheila. I hope you give some of the tips a try.

Always a pleasure. Thanks Noah.

BLiz: Exactly right. I think you have a handle on this!

Roy: It is the legal way to stay in FB's good graces.

That is a good one, George. I have an ad running now...will see how it does.

Richard: Yes indeed. 5 worth visiting.

Happy to assist, Evan.
