WHY ENGAGEMENT ON FACEBOOK?
Usually people are very much happy if they get likes for their Facebook
page. Getting likes is very much essential for your social media marketing
strategy, but engaging your fans is far more important.
You may have seen this metric on your Facebook business page named
“PeopleTalking about this”
This clearly states how much fans of your Facebook business page are
really engaged with you.
So if your brand is being talked about by your fans it states that they are
mentioning your brand, sharing, commenting and liking your brand.

As per Michael Leander (http://www.michaelleander.me/)
Above1%engagementrateis good,
0,5%-0,99%is averageand
below 0,5% engagement likely means that you need to realign your
messages to that of your audience’s expectations – and in the process
attract more compelling and engaging contributions from your community
members.
Since Engagement is more important than likes, let’s see how you can
increase engagement on your Facebook page:

4.
1. USE OF PHOTOS AND VIDEOS
Why this tactic of using photos and videos?
It is because being rich media, it gets lot of attention compared to the text
based images.
Within photos and videos, bright colours like red, blue etc get more
attention compare to the aqua based colours.
Do showcase your customers using your products and services.

5.
2. OFFER VALUE
If you can help people with any useful information from which they can
benefit, do that.
If people find the information shared by you is valuable enough, they will
even share it on their timeline which help you get free marketing. This can
result in viral marketing and therefore create a buzz for you.

3. POST AT RIGHT TIMES FOR YOUR
AUDIENCE
Have you ever taken a look into your facebook page insights?.
 Dwell this particular tab and this is a mine of insight which you can
analyse.
The best time to post will depend upon your industry and also your
target audience behavior. Buddy Media reports that posts which are
sent after the regular working hours of 9 to 5 p.m have a much more
engagement rate than done during these hours.

4. PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO YOUR
READERS
Check out the following examples to consider:
 One little-known way to clean your makeup : Use baby oil which is better
than make up remover
 One little-known way to get boys to wash their hands: Put Lego pieces in
their soap dispenser to make it more appealing
The question here is why this type of post.Yes…you guessed it right. It is
more appealing in terms of the engaging content and solutions you provide to
your fans. In the long run your brand will get benefitted due to the trust now
people have in your brand.

5. SHOW THE INNER SIDE OF YOUR BUSINESS
People love to see the photographs of your team working together in an
office.You can see such behind the scenes photos with your target audience.
These can be even the fun photos of employees enjoying a party, event
photos, seminar photos etc which could be shared. This helps people to see
real people and since in the virtual business we need to build trust, this
really helps a great way.

6. USE OF EMOTICONS IN YOUR
MARKETING
You may have seen brands using emotions almost everywhere these days.
As per research, emoticons help people to express their feelings in a non
verbal manner which excites the user.Your target audience can use emojis
like hearts, love symbols or hate symbols to express their feelings towards
your brand.

10.
To make you understand this further, let me quote few examples
wherein marketers have used emoticons successfully for their
marketing.
General Electric sometime back in 2014 developed an emoji
“periodic table of experiments,” dubbed Emoji Science, in which
they asked users to choose any emoji from their website and see
what happens.They also collaborated with science educator Bill
Nye to create short science videos and created fun.

this creates a lot of frustration.

your Facebook shares and content by as high as 30%.

the attention of your readers. Even you can apply this to your Facebook
post. Make sure you capture your reader’s attention right at the start, so
they’ll be interested in clicking through to the rest of the article
