After looking at many different campaigns over the past several months since relaunching the Pages product, we noticed a couple of trends and best practices that seem to be working well for marketers. #10 focuses on how to build connections, #9 focuses on how to think of the Pages product, and #8 - #1 focuses on how to most efficiently publish and manage your Page.
Engagement ads are the one of the best ways to seek out and gain more fans. They allow users to connect with your brand directly inline as they navigate throughout the site, in a way that ’ s reminiscent of the actions they ’ re already taking on Facebook. We ’ ve seen fan growth increase a significant amount during ad campaigns (the graph is an example of one client ’ s campaign), and because of the viral nature of Facebook, fan growth rates tend to remain higher than average after a campaign is finished.

The company based the app as a tab on its vitaminwater Facebook page, and as a result the page itself was one of the fastest growers for a couple weeks in September. By this point it has more than doubled from 410,000 to 981,000 today. These are fans that vitaminwater can now promote the new flavor to when it becomes available, as well as any other campaigns it does in the future.

After looking at many different campaigns over the past several months since relaunching the Pages product, we noticed a couple of trends and best practices that seem to be working well for marketers. #10 focuses on how to build connections, #9 focuses on how to think of the Pages product, and #8 - #1 focuses on how to most efficiently publish and manage your Page.
There are two main ways to think of Pages -- as a destination that users will go to, and as a source for the stories that will get published out to the home page, where people consume a lot of content about the things they care about. Although Pages can act as a destination for users to visit, the most interactions with brands happen directly from stories published to fans ’ home pages. From some preliminary data analysis, we ’ ve seen reach be exponentially higher (often 10x or more) on the home page when publishing stories versus traffic to the Page itself. It ’ s still important to build out an engaging, interesting Page for those who will end up there, but is also important think through a publishing strategy. Linking back to the Page from published posts can help get users back to the Page, too.

Think about your assets and develop a publishing schedule to maximize your impact. It ’ s important to know what assets you have to publish out, and when to distribute it. We recommend you start out slow, and ramp up your posting schedule as you learn more about the audience -- what they want to hear and how often (see #2). Silence can be golden -- don ’ t post for the sake of posting... only when you have meaningful content to share with your audience.
Though we recommend you “ pace yourself ” in #3, we also recommend you take advantage of timely opportunities that make sense for fans. Though brands like Starbucks may have a conversational calendar, they decided to post a relevant article from the NYTimes.

Weekly programs give users something to look for, like a “ Photo of the week ” program. Coke does this with Tattoo Tuesday, and Threadless does this with Threadless Thursdays.

Additionally, it ’ s important to think about the default experience for users on your Facebook Page. When users navigate to their friends ’ profiles, what do they see first? The Wall, which shows the most up-to-date information by the person and about that person. On Pages, since users mostly likely don ’ t know the other people posting on their Page, we recommend the default view be posts BY the page, to show the Page ’ s voice -- it ’ ll show engagement underneath each post (comments, like), with social relevancy if a friend has commented or liked it. It ’ ll also be easier to find posts they may have seen earlier and want to interact with again.

Users often consume content quickly on Facebook, so posts should be simple, concise, and contain value. Dove does a good job by posting a video that fans can consume directly inline, and including a call-to-action, telling users what they should do ( “ watch this video, ” or “ tell us what you think... ” ). If linking off-site, tell the user where they are going and why they should go there (in a concise way). URL-shorteners like bit.ly can also be useful to keep it simple and short.
One way to get fan ’ s attention is to post photos, since one of the top actions on the site is viewing and uploading photos. Photos are eye-catching when users are quickly reading their home page stream, and universal if you have a global audience that speaks other languages than the primary language of the Page.

Personality is important. Having a regular voice and tone that resonates with fans can be as important as the content itself. We encourage that your posts are casual, since Facebook is a social environment. Consider using a character or figure to help users relate to your posts, similar to the Aflac Duck. Personifying a brand sometimes works well, too, like how H&M makes you feel like you ’ re interacting with the brand as if it ’ s a person.

When creating custom tabs for Pages, we encourage admins to think about how to make it a custom but social experience. Using the comments widget that can be found from our developer site, you can make HTML or flash content on a tab more social. When users post a comment, it can show up on their profile for friends to see and click on.

Brands can use publishing to drive people to make a purchase, by linking off-site or to a destination on their Facebook Page. Southwest promotes their fire sales and includes a link off-site, and Dell offers up a discount or code every day from their Dell Deals page. And remember, as people interact with this story (comments, likes, shares), it ’ s eligible to show up for their friends to see and discover, too. 1800Flowers has a store on their Facebook Page that allows users to make a purchase without leaving the Facebook environment.
