- Are You Making These 9 Facebook Marketing Mistakes?
If you’re using Facebook to market your blog, company, or brand, you have the potential to reach a
whole new audience. However, you’ll only reach that new audience if you follow the best practice of
Facebook marketing without falling into common traps that many marketers do. Whether it’s being
too self-promotional or automating too much, these mistakes will keep you from maintaining a two-
way conversation with your fans. And without that conversation and engagement, it won’t be easy to
grow your fan base.

Numerous studies show that receiving coupons and discounts is one of the main reasons
why consumers follow brands on social networks.

It is logical therefore, that companies strive to use this strategy to attract new social
followers, more so when you consider that this type of follower can directly generate new
purchases of products and services. In other words, the ROI of this type of strategy can be
significantly greater than for other types of social media strategies.
Companies basically have two ways to create coupons and discounts online:
-Through specialist portals (like Groupon)
- Creating their own online promotions
The first strategy has one great advantage: the increased coverage that our deals will
receive. The site itself takes charge of this, and has all of the appropriate means at its
disposal (web traffic, emails databases etc). Nevertheless, this type of strategy does have
serious disadvantages, among which we can highlight:

8. 3. facebook coupon app
- The discounts that these portals demand (Often in excess of 50%)
- The commission that the portal takes from any sales (this can also be in excess of 50%)
- The negative impact on traffic to our social networks
- We will not have a database of the participant’s details to carry out subsequent
promotional activities.
Creating our own promotions circumvents these disadvantages and gives us total flexibility
over our business strategy. But……it’s not all plain sailing and as I’m sure the reader will
realize, it also has a major drawback, if the coupon is not properly distributed it is of no use
to us at all.
Now let’s see some essential features to help our discount coupon or promotional offer be
a success:
- The offer that we make. It’s logical that our potential market will respond better to a
more attractive offer. Let’s look at some of the things to keep in mind.
If we are talking about discounts, the percentage of discount we offer, and on what product
we offer it, will have a logical and intertwined effect. Bigger discounts on top products will
receive a greater response than token discounts on marginal products. But the reductions
do not have to be limited in solely monetary terms, instead there are many other
possibilities such as

9. 3. facebook coupon app
- Distributing the offers. The second basic pillar around which the success of our
promotional offers is built is their distribution. An offer that doesn’t even have the
minimum level of diffusion is of no use to us whatsoever. The possibilities to spread the
promotions are infinite, we are going to briefly look at some of them.
Social Media. We should publish the offer over all of the social networks in which our
company retains an active presence.
Our webpage. An obvious, but often forgotten, place to announce our promotions is our
own webpage or blog, if we have one.
Newsletter. We have a database of people who have given their prior and express consent
to receive information about our company; this can be very useful in distributing our
promotions.
Publicity campaigns. If all of the above methods do not have sufficient force to promote our
offers, it will be essential to carry out an advertising campaign. Online campaigns often
have a better cost to benefit ratio and, specifically campaigns on Facebook and Google
Adwords, can give us excellent results.
HiSocial is characterized by being multi-platform and allowing the distribution of deals
through various distribution channels. We should take advantage of this characteristic to
distribute our promotion as widely as possible.

10. 3. facebook coupon app
- Virality, confidence and aesthetic elements. Finally we will look at some other complementary
aspects that will help us achieve a greater diffusion of our coupon or offer.
Let’s start with virality. It is important that our promotion contains viral elements to help with its
diffusion. Participants in our promotion should be able to easily share our coupon on all of the major
social networks.
On an aesthetic level, the promoters should be sure that the images chosen, just like the text that
accompanies them, are as attractive as possible. It’s worth taking the time to choose an image that will
“seduce” our potential participants, and write a coherent and descriptive text. It is precisely this aspect
that is key to transmitting confidence to the users, to adequately describing our company, to clearly
specifying the details of the offer and to specifying our privacy policy and legal details of the
promotion. This in turn will help to create confidence in the contest, and consequently, the number of
participants in our promotions.
Having said all this, it is important to note that experience will also help us improve results and
understand what kinds of deal work better. HiSocial lets you create an unlimited number of
promotions, so we suggest you take advantage of this feature to improve your overall promotional
activity.

- What’s Next? Better Engagement and a Marketplace Without Boundaries
A lot of businesses have a presence on social media, but very few have taken this opportunity seriously.
There are even a greater number of businesses that still see Social Media as a fad, or are unable to
grasp the opportunity due to either a lack of understanding or fear about someone posting a complaint
on their social channel site.

- The Engagement Equilibrium: Social Media Strategy Meets Economic Theory
Figuring out the “right” mix and frequency in for your brand’s social media posts can be a tricky
business. The word “right” is in quotes, because it’s such a subjective term. My definition of “right” is
when you find consistent engagement levels along with a consistent rate of growth in engagement
levels, month after month.

- Rules of engagement: making the most of social media
For a product or brand, it’s not enough to say you’re ‘on’ facebook. Sure, you need to be ‘present’, but
you also need to be noticed – otherwise, the time you spend posting to your followers is time down the
drain. For many contract workers, freelancers, and startups out there, though, there’s little time for
social media, and often no expert on hand to make sure you’re showing your best face to the world…
and that the world rewards you for seeing it.
