Contact InfoRemember, more and more people now look for the Facebook page of a business before a website. The owner of the site needs to fill out all of the information that a customer may need. This may include a phone number, hours, and any other pertinent information for clients to either get a hold of you or place an order.

CommunicationA lot of businesses make a great page, but fail to communicate with their customers. Remember, the whole world can see a social media page. If a customer comments on your wall, whether it is a bad or good comment, it is crucial to respond quickly. Depending on the business size, you can approach communication in a couple of ways. For a large company, it may be prudent to have someone constantly on social media. For a smaller or self run business, try and at least check your social media pages on a daily basis.

TrackingOne of the greatest benefits of social networking is the free traffic. If the owner of a business posts relevant and interesting posts, they will likely see a surge in traffic. Install tracking codes on your website to see the traffic source though. You’ll also be able to see what traffic converts into customers. In doing so, you will be able to tweak your social media campaigns appropriately and make even more money.

IncentivesAnyone with a social media page should have incentives for their customers. One way to have an incentive is a monthly drawing for Facebook or Twitter followers. This will get people interested in following your business on social media. It does not have to be a huge prize, something simple that people will enjoy will suffice. If you have a brick and mortar location, inform your customers of the contest. Remember you want to get as many legitimate followers as possible.

OverextensionNever post or reach out too often. Some businesses make the mistake of posting multiple times a day and/or spamming inboxes with messages all day. It depends on the industry and customer base of course, but you should usually post less than once a day, at most – aim for twice a week. Users will become bored and think of your business as gimmicky if you’re constantly spamming the walls of your fans on Facebook.
