17. Building page information
17
Add as much information as you can to give users the best possible
chance of finding what they need.

18. Page Roles for team members
18
There are various levels of page administrative access you can assign to other
page managers, including editor, analyst and admin. Admin is the highest.

19. Invite your friends
19
Invite friends for whom your page will have relevance and interest. This ‘seeds’
your community.

20. Growing your Facebook community
• Invite your friends by email
• ‘Like us’ advertising (your newsletter, website,
ambient)
• Patience – it’s quality not quantity!
• Content is king (add value for your users)
• Pay for it!
• Network and ‘like’ other pages
20

21. To like another page as your page
21
Visit the other page and click the 3 dots. Select ‘Like as your page.’ This allows you
to interact with the page as your page, not just as your personal profile.

22. What to post?
• Keep sight of your goals
• Be Social. No more than 10-20% sales focused posts
• Check out competitors and your favourite brands
• Mix it up:
– How often? 1 up to 4 times a day is safe
– Value add – inform
– Entertain and amuse
– Create events if relevant
– Consider your timing (see insights)
– Sometimes use calls to action eg “I am running a 2-for-1
one deal on whisky. Tag a friend who also enjoys a scotch.”
or “Visit our website to see why our vegetables are safest
for your family.”
22

23. Interaction is a Two-Way Street
• Interact with your community when they take
time to respond or share.
• Show your love (reward with special
Facebook-only deals).
• Show respect and manners.
23

24. Feedback and Questions
• Answer questions
• “Stay Calm and Value
their Feedback”
• Show you care
• Take it private if
necessary
Example of great complaint management

25. Integrating Everything
• Add Facebook link to site or blog.
• Signs in your store.
• Add to your e-news.
• Social logos on flyers, cards.
• Integrate with other profiles e.g.
Pinterest or Instagram.
25

26. Time savers
• Check daily! (prevent banking up).
• Set up notifications (see next slide).
• Facebook scheduling (see slide
ahead).
• Use scheduling apps like
Hootsuite/Buffer, etc.
