Facebook - Tools
Facebook Page
• Create a company page
– Visible to unregistered people
– Indexed
– Fans can send you a private message (but not vice versa)
Facebook - Timeline
• Make your page visually appealing
– Tell the story of your brand
– Events, milestones and nice to know items … even from before
Facebook (highlight & pin (7days) posts)
– It will shows ALL comments, posts, likes, … of all your friends, pages,
apps, …
Facebook - Timeline
• Facebook Timeline tips & insights
– Create a Facebook timeline cover image & respect the guidelines!
• No price information (ex. « 40% off »)
• No contact information (this must be in the « about » section)
• No reference to user interface elements (like, share, …)
• No call to action (ex. « get it now », « tell your friends », …)
– Tabs are now Apps (https://developers.facebook.com/apps/)
• 4 apps are always on display underneath the cover image
• Max 14 custom apps on timeline (slideshare, photos, videos, events, house
rules, …)
• Create a custom thumbnail for your app
• Apps have a unique url that can be used to drive traffic
You’ve got a page?
Great!Now what?Let’s get people ON my page!
Facebook Search
• Don’t count too much on the search function
– Impossible to predict
• Results vary for any given search query
• Relies heavily on connections, interactions on the page & how « close » the
user is to each page
– Relies on exact match
• Tiny changes can have a high impact
Facebook Advertising
• Advertising to drive traffic to your Facebook page
– Classic (push) advertising
– Advertising/bannering on Facebook
– Determine campaign goals
• Emphasize on social media strategy
• Direct sales
• Site traffic
• …
– Create ads
– Set the targeting
Facebook Advertising
AdvertentieGesponsord verslag

Facebook Advertising
AaaahsomeoneIs on my pageLet’s make him/her hit the like button!
Facebook - Like
• The Like button
– Used to be the entry point to Facebook’s user base
– Now everyone can join any discussion on a brand page
• No (more) need to « like » the page first
• Shift from focus to liking a brand to engaging with a brand
– But a page with 12 likes just isn’t cool
– So it sure is a good start!
34
OK, then let’s start posting
status updatesKick of that dialogue
• Great idea, engage
• But … and this is important!
– People don’t come to Facebook to visit your page …
– They see your posts in their news feed!
– … or not. In 2007 a Facebook engineer said in an interview that only
about 0,2% of eligible stories make it into a user’s newsfeed. That
means your story is competing with 500 other stories!Ticker
News Feed
Top stories
Most recent
stories
Advertising
Affinity
How connected are you to
the edge?
Is it your brother, a friend
with whom you interact a
lot … or a page you liked 2
years ago?
Weight
Example: comments are
worth more than likes.
Photos & videos have a
higher weight than links.
Time
As a story gets older, it
loses points
Ranking interactions (Edges)
• Tips to appear in the stream of your fans
– Be interactive, fun and helpful (Fill in the blank: All i want for christmas
is ___)
– Embed videos
– Ask questions (Yes/No « I brushed my teeth last night » when
announcing a new toothbrush. Or « On a scale of 1 to 10, what do you
think of …)
– Share pictures
– Create a connection between FB and the outside world (ex. sales reps)
– Create contests
– Introduce new products on FB first (click « like » if you’re excited about
our new …)
– Welcome new page visitors
– Integrate social content (YouTube, Slideshare, …)
– Like other businesses, partners, vendors, customers, …
• Oh … and one more tip …
– You could start collecting likes
– A like is considered as an « edge »
– You can even give the like button the name of any other verb!
• « own », « want », « sell », « read », « listened », « viewed », …
– However, keep active, because as time goes by, the value of this like is
fading away … fast
Try to involve customers in what you do
• And if you use a personal profile (not a company page)
– Use the subscribe button (= follow)
– Allow subscribers to see your public updates (even non friends)
– To allow subscribers, go to www.facebook.com/about/subscribe
– Subscribe button will appear on your page
• And just to be clear … you cannot use user data without permission!
– Impossible to get (authorised) data through the Facebook API from
• Public profiles
• Friends
• Fan pages/likes
Crawling
Facebook Connect
• You need to get beyound likes
– Facebook Connect
– Possible to request user permission for their data and collect
information
• The data you’ll get depends on the permission you ask for
Facebook Connect
• Permission example
– If you ask for
the default
permission,
you get
• Facebook_id
• First_name
• Last_name
• Gender
• Locale
• Picture
• Timezone
Facebook Connect
• Permission example
– If you ask for
the e-mail
permission,
you get

Connect The Dots
Analyze
• Overwhelming volume of data
– Can cause analysis paralysis
– People don’t look at anything
• Determine KPI’s in advance & create measuring schedules
– Getting more coverage and getting people to websites is a first step
towards more sales
• Analyze conversations to see what generates response
• Who shared what?
• Analyze fans, customers, likes, …
• What’s their profile, get to know them
• Use Business intelligence to transform data into actionable insights and
optimise future campaigns/actions
• Be RELEVANT in your communication!
– Engagement isn’t a direct response tactic (ROI)
• Use technology to automate
