Hinweis der Redaktion
- Thank sponsors set ground rules For our SBTDCs some helpful tips to SBTDC offices. If YOU or a member of your staff is going to teach the seminar use YOUR page as the example of the right way to do it. You will see links back to my page throughout to drive points home. If your center Facebook page is not a good exampleâŠdonât teach the course yourself..find some 3rd party to teach itâŠMy clients, attendees look at us as the examples of what to and what not to do. If you are teaching this course then they look at your page and see it doesnât follow these guideline..you will lose credibility. May also be a good incentive to work on your own online marketingâŠ. In the area of social media marketing our typical small business client is lost as a gooseâŠthey will look to you for advise and guidance or visit your sites to see what they should be doing. If you have 25 fans and havenât posted in 3 monthsâŠ.well you get my point. Hope this works for you give me your feedback
- Note for SBTDCs I always download my powerpoints to slideshare so that the attendees can access it online later especially where we have links. It is a good habit for your center to do as well. Plus with the link on slideshare others will see it and gives you a unique URL to use for your blogs. I generally create a unique web page that has all of the information and some added stuff like pdfs on the topic that I share with the attendees.
- Depending on time: can do all 10 in a 3 hour session. 1 Âœ hour lunch n learn focus on 1 through 6 NOTE: NAME CHANGE currently can change your business name seen on facebookâŠNOT URL however ability to change URL is supposed to be coming so stay tuned
- Use this if you want: too many small businesses create their online stuff âfor themâ not for the customer/visitor. Understanding basic online visitor behavior is important to create your site (website, email, social sites) to have greatest appeal to visitors You can see my explainations of the 5 bullets at Herbâs 5 Laws link and why they need to be part of the planning process.
- Stats from Exact Target basically small business needs to understand nobody got on Facebook to âlikeâ a page (except your mamma and spammers) they got on Facebook for right column reasonsâŠto get them to âlikeâ page need to consider what motivates your visitors to your facebook site to become fansâŠwhat can you give them?
- Setting up Facebook is a mechanical process it is a tool not the endâŠso push them to think through these questions. Every marketing message and site must have a reasonâŠand ultimately it must be to drive them to our cash register.
- Many of our small businesses are unaware of these which means their engagement is poor. They will probably have no idea what EdgeRank is or why it matters so need to explain to them how the algorithem worksThese stats may surprise your attendees the decay issue is important nowâŠused to be not to post more than once a day because you didnât want to clog up fans newsfeedsâŠtoday decay rate is exploded meaning posting every 4 to 5 hours will not create problems with your fans.
- Just some nice cover images from âthe big boysâ the new timelines capitalizes on the fact that Facebook has ALWAYS been a visual medium. Now with this massive virtual real estate the fact that you no longer have âDefault Landing Tabâ options your cover image must grab visitors if you want them to push the Like button and engage. The image you use should be ABOUT the visitor NOT the business.
- Before they get too excited about everything they can do to âadvertiseâ on the cover image they need to know that Facebook being Facebook has set very strict guidelines about what CANNOT be put on a cover image. Why? At the bottom of it allâŠFacebook wants you to BUY advertising from them not post it for freeâŠso making it more difficult Go over with them the next slide is a good example of a page that is ON THE BORDER of too much.
- Cover image from Hubspotâs Amy PorterfieldâŠlook at critical No-Nos on last slide compare to this oneâŠshe is right on the border of running afoul of Hubspot PoliceâŠ. ButâŠas you can do later when we discuss appsâŠnote how she took the photo app put a âLikeâ image in and then hid her actual âLikeâ button. Pretty cool. Also note that she is using her cover image not as a permanent billboard but changing up on a regular basis to emphasize marketing campaigns. Given that this is Hubspot sure they researched very carefully where that line in the sand was and did not actually cross. But warn attendees Facebook may not be as forgiving to them as they would be to Hubspot
- So what can you do? Our small businesses may need some inspiration so see next slidesâŠbut KEYâŠTHE VISITOR MUST SEE THEMSELVES IN THE IMAGE. By that I mean the visitor must identify personally with the image shown and relate to the business. Go back to Herbâs 5 LawsâŠlazy (visual vs text) and Selfish (WIIFM) Hit the part that changing the cover image often is a good idea and why
- Here is a good place to emphasize the new outline and why it is a good thing. Big bigbig visuals butâŠpeople view left to right, top to bottom. So note that big old Like button and message option are bigger and are immediately below the image. Apps also moved below instead of on side and to go along with the big visual theme you can put your own pictures into the apps⊠more on that later.
- Technical part âŠon the profile pictureâŠfor most of our small businesses stress it should be their brand/logo or image they want people to equate to them. Also fact that the profile picture is the âThumb Nailâ that people will see in their newsfeeds. Best to be same all across all social platforms, website, business cards, email headers, etc.
- Pretty obviousâŠbut a bunch of folks didnât know because the button is hidden until you hover over it. Why Pin? Keep a particular post at the top of the timelines for visitors good for sales campaigns, promotions, etc. Or since no more default landing tabs to encourage folks to go to your welcome page.HIDING: make sure they understand that hiding takes it off the visual part of YOUR Facebook Timelines BUT does not delete if from your Fans newsfeed.
- Walk them through the parts of the new Admin panelâŠeasy to see recent interaction without having to scroll all down your page and to respond. On the new Fans/Likes show them how you can send them a private message on their profile (if they donât have their message button turned off) but to be careful not to look like a âstalkerâ because if you privately message a new âLikerâ it is YOUR PROFILE picture that appears NOT your page logoâŠ
- Biggest potential impact with the apps⊠show them the down arrow to uncover more apps, show them how to move the apps for better visualization and how to add images to the app icon for appeal.Biggest item to consider is: What do you want visitors to do? Why are you on Facebook in the first place? If it is to get email subscribers make sure you have Email subscription app on top row, etc. Make sure they understand YOU Canât move the photo (but you can make it look different) example for SBTDCs we want people to come to our training so making sure Events tab is on 1st row is criticalâŠgiven the 20% rule of viewing you want a more permenant way to message so the email subscription is vitialâŠetc. Again why are they on Facebook? What do they want visitors and fans to do that relates to their cash register?Show them bad part about the like button (can see overview of other pages insights activities) ANDâŠwhile you can move it below the top 4 so not as visual you cannot remove it or prevent others from seeing your stats. Same time is a good way for your small business to âspyâ on his competition.
- Here are just a few links to 3rd party appsâŠsome free, some proâŠalso make sure to tell them to read the terms of service (TOS) before downloading to make sure they understand what they are agreeing to
- Some more that can create iFrame options
- Critical issue is expansion to 170 charactersâŠability to put your CTA (CALL TO ACTION) See on ours we have a little slogan but then is driving folks to our specialty landing tab AND the freebies they get for fanningâŠCan put in URLs as well do note the issue if the small business sets up as a âLocal Businessâ by default pulls in address and phone number. Can get around this by typing in your website URL in the edit portion that has your phone number or street address or change to an organization. Critical question for local business should be what is more important to the visitor? Phone number, address or url? Ex. A photograher would do well to have his website url since most folks want to see samples of his work before contacting.
- May be one of the best new featuresâŠresponding to private messages here IS done with the business logo/icon/business profile picture. Great for driving sales funnelâŠencourage fans to send private messages for more information, also very good for customer service (especially complaints) Down side is YOU MUST GET fan to initiate messaging BEFORE your business can respond as the business.
- Contests and promotions are tricky on Facebook. Facebook has very specific rules these are 3 sites that can do 3rd party contests that will not have the small business violate Facebook policies
- Parting shotsâŠ.the mechanics of setting up the new Facebook Timelines is not difficultâŠTurning it into an effective marketing tool that will drive sales to your cash registerâŠtakes planning. Here are a few ideas of mine
- Because more consistent posting is important in addition to having a calendar of content to postâŠthird party apps to help schedule are life savers. Hootsuite probably best but have found Buffer to be a good tool as well, especially if cruising the internet finding interesting stories, photos, video to share because you can put the buffer app on your browser and just hit click.
- Change as you wish.
