FACEBOOK MARKETING TIPS TO MAKE YOUR BUSINESS EVEN MORE LIKEABLE

Using Facebook for marketing your business has been around for a long time, but using Facebook for marketing your business the right way is an entirely different matter. Bombarding your clients and followers with photos and tweets without a clear strategy will not take you where you want to go, which is straight to the bank. Using the tips below has proven to be useful for millions of small businesses out there so make sure they are included in your Facebook marketing plan.

Keep it short and sweet. Recent research has shown that the ideal length of a Facebook post is around 40 characters. Keep that in mind the next time you want to inform your Facebook friends and followers of your latest business activity or that one-of-a-kind deal you will offer your customers this month. On Friday, your Facebook post will probably generate the most engagement activity, which is not surprising given that most people think Friday is the best day of the week because it gives them that end-of-the-week-party-all-night-long type of feeling. Further, the type of content that generates the most shares on Facebook are photos, so if you want to use your Facebook in the most productive way, focus your time and energy on posting the types of photos that will educate, entertain, inspire and delight your followers. Make your photos fabulous.
