- What aboutPinterest and/or Google+?What do you make of businesses that are solely using Facebook? (Letting their own websites collect dust.)
- From Ad Age:“Facebook fans really "like" New Belgium beer -- so much so that they account for half the brewery's annual sales. New Belgium has 42,000 local fans in 38 markets and 400,000 across all of its Facebook pages. While it's tough for brands to value Facebook fans, the No. 3 U.S. craft brewer has a pretty good idea: It estimates its Facebook fans are responsible for $50.7 million in yearly sales. That's why the Fort Collins, Colo.-based brewer goes the extra mile when it comes to social and event marketing.”Make sure you nail the key visual elements: profile photo, cover photo and app photosLow quality images = missed opportunityUse compelling images that are the right size and dimensions- Profile photo: at least 180px × 180px- Cover photo: 851px × 315px- App photos: 810px × (unlimited height)
- According to Facebook’s own research, photos and videos generate significantly more engagement than other post types.
- High definition photos are extremely engagingMilestone, highlighted posts can be up to 843px × 403px
- According to data collected and analyzed by Dan Zarrella of Hubspot, FB posts with “I” and “me” get more likes.
- Your calls to action should be better than “find us on Facebook.” You should appeal to their self-interest. Why should they visit your page? What’s in it for them?
- And if you’re going to implore people to visit your page, make sure their experience is a good one! Bag retailer Timbuk2 included an opportunity to win a bike, helmet and messenger bag in an email to its 100,000 newsletter subscribers. It received 6,500 clickthroughs vs. just 9 from its generic social call to action.
- Another chart from Hubspot’s Dan Zarrella shows that people are much more inclined to share content in the early evening. Posts published on Saturdays and Sundays receive a higher like percentage than those posted during the week.
