~ Facebook Marketing Tips ~

Love it or hate it, there is no denying Facebook's place at the top of the social media ladder. That means for anyone looking for new prospects or increased brand awareness, a simple solution to both "problems" is to establish a Facebook presence. Your opportunities increase exponentially the more positive things you do on the site (FB Live, ads, great content, consistency, etc.).

Here are 7 reasons why FB should be very high on your list if you want to use social media as a secondary source for gaining new business...

  • FB has 2.41 billion active monthly users
  • The number of monthly users has increased 8 percent annually since inception
  • 1.7+ billion active users access the site via mobile devices
  • Nearly 1.6 billion people sign-in to Facebook every day
  • Traffic is highest in the afternoons and nearly 20% higher on Thursdays and Fridays
  • Millennials are the most common users, making up almost 30% of total users
  • Users spend, on average, 20+ minutes on the site

Struggling to find new business or increase brand exposure? The statistics above make it abundantly clear where you can find a ready-made resource to cultivate!

PLEASE stop by the 5 Facebook Business Pages below, LIKE their page, and leave a comment, just like Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD do with Youtube Thursdays. It is always nice to reciprocate, so if you are visited, please take a moment and return the favor.

As always, enjoy the information Rainers!

We definitely have to learn to adapt to Facebook, rather than believing that Facebook would care enough about us to adapt to our needs.

All great reasons, Anita... and obviously an awful lot of millennials continue to use FB despite the news telling us otherwise.

Facebook is important. Bottom line, you gotta be where others are. And others are on Facebook!

Facebook is totally AMAZING!!!! FOR BUSINESS!!! I will never understand why business owners don't get it. 

One of my clients we are doing FB marketing for, just got a $500K listing and last night another buyer just popped into messaging saying they want to look at one of her listings. When you do this on a personal level engaging authentically- it works like a charm!

Norma: It is a goldmine we should be mining to find prospects.

We would still be waiting for them to adapt to us...go towards the light, Brian. ;-)

Nina: I had both my daughters poll their friends...Instagram, Snapchat, then FB. They all spend more time on FB though.

Well said Stephen. They are there and waiting for assistance.

Grant: That is a lifetime in social media time.

Amen Katerina. Opportunities lost for others are victories for those who use the platform.

Jeff: Go where the masses are and reap the rewards.

Welcome back Ed/Tracy. 

Laura: That is probably a contributor. It is easy to use which helps too.

Lauren: It may be time to establish a biz page. FB has been slack about enforcing their TOS, but they will at some point.

It absolutely works, to generate contacts, it comes down to the prospecting and follow up you have in place to convert the contacts or leads that it generates...
