~ Facebook Marketing Tips ~ 

I read a LOT of online content about how to do this or that on FB to improve our biz and I have to admit some of it is really tripe! It is no wonder so many get frustrated or completely turned off by the site. If we do something and do not get the results we want, the majority of us are apt to give up and move on. It is the nature of our marketing.

Fortunately, yesterday I read a FB primer here in the Rain by Pamela Cendejas that spells out some of the basic things we should be doing to make the most of our FB experience. You can read her article here.

One of her points that I have seen some good results from is the use of albums. While they can be used for many purposes to generate consumer interest I have found they are a wonderful way to generate a lot of activity on new listings...consumers like photos so why not load up an album and give them exactly what they want. Try it! 

I know Facebook has been doing some recent tweaking so if you have experienced some funky stuff on the site this week, that is possibly the reason. Testing live can get pretty interesting...at users' expense. 

You guessed it...time to show some Rainer love and visit the FB Biz Pages below. As my hubby says...be a good wingman!

PLEASE stop by the 5 Rainer Facebook Fan Pages below, LIKE their page, and leave a comment. It is always nice to reciprocate, so if you are visited, please return the favor. ;-)

As always, enjoy Rainers!

Thank you Gita. Have a wonderful weekend too.

Dorie: It is a good way to generate new leads. At this time of the year it can really make a difference.

Raymond: If we do not change you can bet we will get left behind.

Thanks for the comps, Roy.

Ginny: I always get better responses when I use them.

Andrew: Slow and steady definitely is an advantage with online marketing.

Stella: As it should be. We should not be secret agents.

I'm going to visit Pamela and read her post. I just visited a new construction home site yesterday and I took quite a few photos. I should create an album!

Anita-Thanks for the tip. Although Facebook has been around awhile, some of us (me included), don't seem to be using it effectively.

I am developing the habit of visiting your page on Friday, and if I can't, I catch up next week. I was wondering - when do we choose to boost a post, and when we decide to create an ad on Facebook. I'll ask this question in the Questions section, too. Thanks for all the information you provide.

Steffy: It depends on your goal. I typically boost an article to get it more exposure and send more consumers to my site. I will place an ad when I am targeting a specific segment of the population (i.e. 55+, millennials, etc.).

Top of the morning Anita.  You continue to be the go to guru for FB.  In all honesty my FB suffers for lack of time set aside.  If not on the calendar it does not exist.  It may be time to get it on the calendar.  Senseless not to take advantage of your free education.  Mark

Mark: I have to block off time for various social media things I do otherwise I would never get to them. Putting tasks on the calendar, and following through with those items when their allotted time arrives, is a great way to stay on track.
