- 25. 7/18/2013 25 FB Ads: The Basics CPC (Cost-Per-Click) You pay each time some one clicks on your advert. Use this pricing if you want to drive a specific action to you Facebook Page. These ads are very effective. CPM (Cost-Per- Thousand Impressions) You pay based on the number of people who see your advert. Use this type of payment ONLY if you want to raise general awareness within a targeted audience. Bidding The suggested bid range shows you the range of bids that are currently winning the auction among ads similar to yours. At the agency we constantly and manually monitor the range to make sure that the bid price is within suggested pricing range provided for your ad. (If the bid is below the range, no one will see the ad – however, if the bid is above the range we’re wasting valuable money). Your maximum bid is the most you'll pay for a click on your ad or per thousand impressions delivered depending upon whether you chose to pay per click (CPC) or per thousand impressions (CPM) What makes FB ads so much more effective? You can target your ad by country, age & relationship/marital status! Please note, the smaller the target audience, the more expensive the ad is per click.

- 33. BE CREATIVE.
- 36. SMALL BUSINESSES CAN DO SOCIAL MEDIA; IT'S JUST ABOUT BEING SAVVY ENOUGH TO INCORPORATE SOME OF YOUR STRATEGIES INTO PROCEDURES THAT ALREADY EXIST. NO BUSINESS CAN BE EVERYWHERE, SO FOCUS YOUR EFFORTS TO CONNECT AND ENGAGE IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO THEM; NOT JUST WHERE YOU THINK IT WILL BE "COOL" TO HAVE A PROFILE.
- 37. A summary: To gain fans, followers and connection Be human. You’re not a detached observer, but a participant who need to share and give back instead of just taking. It’s all about karma. The community won’t share with you unless you’ve shared (your experiences, your thoughts, your passions) with them. Take it offline, promote your social platforms along with the monthly editors note. Create badges on your email signature and websites Commit: Don’t put a toe in the water and expect to create more than a ripple. Dive in. Experience in the best teacher. Through the course of a day you come across a lot of information. Share it. Find what you’re good at and something you can be consistent with. Make sure you’re doing it every day.

The remaining countries’ Facebook populations were split between Arabic and English. The availability of various language interfaces could partly explain the larger number of Facebook users in the region, as compared to Twitter users, as Twitter has yet to launch its Arabic interface.

- Social media has little to do with you; it’s all about your audience, customers, or whomever you’re trying to reach. Marketing 101 says to think like your customer thinks. And the same holds true in social media. In my particular business, we realized the clients are on twitter and that’s where we put the most effort.Not sure where your customers are on the social web or what they are saying about you? – there are some tools that can help you get started.
- Small businesses are faced with having to prioritize their resources toward the activities that deliver the most impact. With social media, it’s easy to feel like you need to have a presence on every social media channel. It’s also easy to get lost in managing too many networks.I recommend that small businesses first find which network has the highest concentration of their…..
- audience using tools like Follower Wonk, Facebook’s free advertising platform and LinkedIn’s search features.Once you’ve found which social media network actually has a concentration of your target audience, develop a strategy to engage them. If you’re successful, you’ll have a much easier time justifying the additional investment to replicate your success on another social media network.
- Use your offline content online. Every business has a story to tell. Those stories are content! And guess what? People love to hear these stories and share them, so get them off of your walls and utilize them as content for your company to share in online communities where your audience is.These are the types of stories that occasionally make the newspapers as fluff pieces if pitched by a great PR person. In today's world, a savvy small business person can "pitch" these types of stories themselves to their customers and even the media by turning them into online content that audiences can share easily through pictures, blog content, videos, PDFs, or slideshow presentations.
- One necessary component of a thriving business is a strong list of qualified leads. Some business experts say that without a list, you don’t really have a business!There are many ways to grow your list and one of the smartest marketing moves is to create an opt-in strategy on your Facebook page. To keep it simple, use iFrames to create a custom welcome tab.
- On this tab you can create a 2-step process called a “reveal tab.”Step #1: Include a call to action to encourage non-fans to click Like and become a fan.Step #2: Once you get the Like, offer a valuable giveaway in exchange for name and email.With this model, you are increasing your fan base and growing your lead list at the same time. It’s a double whammy for your business.
- Social media is attractive to small businesses because of its perceived price. You can set up a new blog, fan page, video site, and Twitter account without paying a dime. There’s no expensive software, or costly media buys. However, even though there’s a low price tag to enter the game, social media is far from free. It requires time, energy, and effort. It’s a never-ending commitment to create interesting content, listen to conversations, and respond.
- In other words, start developing content about those industry secrets or how-to tips that no other competitor of yours would dare touch. This can be your competitive advantage. By creating the kind of content that really solves your customers’ problems, you’ll be linked to and shared. Your content will rise in the search rankings and be actively shared on Twitter and Facebook.How do you get started? Write down all of the most interesting and hard-to-answer customer questions and create online content from each question.Do this every day for six months and you’ll see a significant difference in your business.
- Starbucks has more than 1.3 million followers on Twitter. You probably don’t, and that’s OK. As a small business, you shouldn’t get caught up in the numbers game or try to keep up with the big brands. Growing your community is important, but you should be focused on who’s engaging with you and at what levels. I know it’s tempting to pay a service to deliver thousands of followers literally overnight. However, in the long run it’s more important to have a devoted, enthusiastic community. Be patient. It’s organic growth that matters. Things don’t (and won’t) happen overnight.
- Pinterest is so new that a lot of major brands still don’t know what to make of it. However, there are a few outliers who have found creative ways to exploit the potential of the new social media destination.One marketer made a puzzle out of Pinterest’s picture-heavy design. Another noted what people were pinning on Pinterest and sent them real-life gifts based on those pins.
- Honda has launched a Pinterest-focused campaign -They’ve identified top “pinners” and offered each one $500 to take a “Pintermission” (a 24-hour break from Pinterest) to get out and visit some of the places they’ve been pinning about or buy some of the products they’ve pinned.British Midland International recently ran a contest called “Pinterest Lottery” that randomly rewarded fans with trips.Here’s how it worked. The airline posted logo-clad photos from five destinations: Beirut, Dublin, Marrakech, Moscow and Nice. Users are asked to repin up to six images. At the end of each week, the company will choose a number at random; the users who had repinned the image with that number will be qualified for a chance to win a pair of free return flights to any BMI destination.
- Don’t just broadcastShare with the community, let them know who you areTake it offlineCommitNew trends are an opportunity for innovationIntimate social customer service is the best protection against price sensitivity and commodisationYou’re not going to find out by reading about it. You need to just do it.To create a compelling story, you need people who are directly affected by the story you’re reporting on. Use social media to find those real people. They’re out there tweeting. The beauty of these social media [sites] is they’re searchable.
