For example, if you are selling bags, then we should join groups related to handbags, fashion, and young women, because the main body here is our target customer group. After entering the relevant groups, put more interesting photos and content on our own homepage and photos, soon, you will have hundreds of friends, and getting some valuable traffic is not a problem.
Part3: How to do marketing with Facebook?
1. Target friends
As is well known, if you want to achieve the best effect in online marketing promotion, the most fundamental step is to find the right crowd. Therefore, if we want to achieve the expected promotional marketing effect with Facebook, we first need to distinguish which groups of people should be added as friends. Here is a trick, try to find influential, well-known people in the social circles you search. There are three ways to find friends:
(1) Friends of friends
We first add some friends within the circle, and it's best to have certain connections within the circle. Then look at their friends, and then step by step expand your circle of friends.
(2) Search
If your target crowd is not very concentrated, not suitable for the first method, then I tell you another method: for example, we target music enthusiasts.
The first step, first determine which are the most famous music colleges internationally, then in Facebook's friend search, searching by these criteria will almost all be music lovers.
(3) Attract others to add you
This method is suitable for those who find it too tiring and troublesome to take the initiative. Here's the thing: if our target positioning is celebrity fans, you can join some celebrity fan communities, use the celebrity's name to register an ID, and maintain a certain level of activity in the community, naturally, that celebrity's fans will add you.
2. Promotion techniques
(1) Avatar and personal profile
Avoid avatars that are deliberately advertising, too commercial, and unfriendly. Facebook advocates real-name real-person, so it's best to use real photos, you can appropriately add promotional links or promotional text under the avatar, achieving a marketing effect while not being repulsive.
About personal profile: When looking at someone else's homepage on Facebook, usually the first thing to look at is their personal profile. So we should definitely make good use of this valuable "location". Special reminder: to do Facebook promotion, personal profile settings must be visible to everyone.
(2) Write a diary
For those promoting on Facebook, the diary is undoubtedly a soft article. I won't say much about the content here, but what to note is: when publishing a diary, use the share or notify function to let your friends see it.
(3) Status
Some promotion plans seem a bit overkill to write in a diary, then you can post a status and just mention it briefly. If you feel the status takes up too little space and is not easy to attract attention, adding more emoticons is best.
(4) Auto-reply
Facebook has many plugin games, many of which have auto-reply notification functions, make good use of these auto-replies, put up your ads.
(5) Friendsforsale
Friendsforsale is one of the most classic applications in Facebook, and it's a feature of any SNS site. In this game, you can nickname slaves, isn't this also an advertising board? And as much as possible buy those popular friends.
3. Four key points for Facebook promotion
