Promoting your Facebook for Business Page can be crucial but there are lots of ways on how you can use every tool that will maximize your reach and identify what is beneficial for you and your business.

ADDING POSTS, VIDEOS, AND PHOTOS

You need to tailor your organic posts, videos, and photos by segmenting them by age, gender, education, or any relevant keyword or phrases. There are a number of targeting tools that enables you to do that. Use it to engage the right audiences. By clicking the Photo/Video buttons then options will drop down right after, select the kind of post you want to publish.

Strategize by posting high-quality posts, videos and photos rather that overwhelming your customers by posting few times per day. The best way to do it is to publish your posts during the strategic times of the day. Usually, best click-through rate and share rate is around 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. daily on your local time.

There are very useful publishing tools that you can use to deliver effective posts to your audience. Visual Content plays a huge importance when strategizing your post and you can publish it in many ways:

  • Upload Photos/Video

Adding a photo and video status is a great way to advertise or update your audiences about what your business is offering.

When uploading a video, remember that multimedia posts can generate up to 90 percent views. Make it more compelling since it mostly gives around 60 percent of your overall engagement or even higher if you can create good campaigns from time to time.

By adding collaborators to your page you can expand your marketing, promotion, and/or advertising efforts. You may grant your team with various roles such as:

  • Admin – Complete and total access to everything (you are an admin by default)
  • Editor – Can edit the Page, send messages and post as the Page, create Facebook ads, see which admin created a post or comment, and view insights.
  • Moderator – Can respond to and delete comments on the Page, send messages as the Page, see which admin created a post or comment, create ads, and view insights.

One more tip: If you have a team working for you and very much involved in producing campaigns for your Facebook, you may ask them to like and share your campaigns. They can also soft sell you by letting them use the link of your Facebook page on their personal profiles’ About section.

You can manage your tabs selected the Manage Tabs tab

This will set the important tabs to be shown to your audience.

Always keep in mind that your Facebook homepage alone matters. It can create either a good or a bad impression so be careful in creating, setting, and promoting your Facebook page.
