Hello everyone! My name is Tomislav Kaučić and I’m coming from Europe House Slavonski Brod. I’m here to show you how to use Facebook in your advance in means of marketing and promotion of specific subject.
How many of you are using Facebook?
How many of you are administrating Facebook Page or more pages?
Here are some of the latest statistics of Facebook usage:
Around one billion different people are using people daily, and even more people are using Facebook on monthly basis!
And also one interesting thing is that around 84% of daily users are not from US and Canada, which is around 98 million users!
These big numbers are just here to show you how big Facebook platform and that’s what makes Facebook perfect for (click) Reaching all kinds of people!
So, to plan a strategy, we need to analyze current situation on our Facebook page
The best solution for doing an analysis is Facebook Insights that shows us various information about our Facebook page: from number of likes per day to number of reached people, likes per post, the best stuff that we posted and so on.
From the analysis that you made before making a strategy, you should conclude when your followers are most active. If they are most active in the morning, you should post before so that the post can reach more active followers right on time.
Next, use the non-busy hours. That’s very important because there’s 14% bigger chance to get more interactions from your followers than during the working hours, and only 18% of posts are posted at that time.
Also, DON’T. SLEEP. OVER. THE. WEEKEND. The study has shown that weekend posts are getting 14% more attention than other posts.
One or two posts, maximally three per day is just fine. Why? Because people could get annoyed by your frequent posts and they could start to avoid your page.
On weekly basis, 7 posts per week is the best. The study has shown 19% more interaction rate with Facebook pages that have 7 posts per week than those which have more. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t pass that number. This is just the best option chosen by statistics.
Also, watch your statistics! If your posts have big interaction rate, you should try to post one more post daily.
Around 80 characters is enough to explain some photo or link. Study again, has shown that comments with up to 80 characters are getting 23% bigger attention than those long never-ending posts.
Short, clear and precise text means high quality post. For that, you’re really need to have a skill, and that’s something that you can learn easily by practicing. It has to deliver a message and gain attention of your follower.
Also, the best way to gain attention is to post a picture. The picture has to be provocative so that follower would click on it and interact. Usually, Facebook posts with photos attract 39% more attention than text-only posts.
The best way to get the feedback is by getting comments from your followers.
To get followers’ attention, ask them a question! There’s 92% chance that you’re going to get comment. A little tip: put the question at the end of post!
And also, reply to comments so that your users know that you’re interested in what’s going on with them.
