Facebook has recently rolled out some new features that will really help small businesses, and this is one of them. ‘Nearby’ is a product that acts as a virtual local guide, by using your friends’ check-ins, likes and tags to recommend places of interest. Simply set up Nearby, create a location for your business and then encourage your customers to check-in, like and tag themselves at your premises.

Give your customers more

If you want to attract more customers then make them an offer they can’t refuse. Facebook Offers gives you the choice of three types of virtual coupons to give your customers. Choose from in-store only, in-store and online, or online only depending on which one suits your business needs best. The in-store option then allows customers to redeem the offer by showing the coupon on their smartphones. It’s simple to set up and if you’re already using Facebook Ad Manager as part of your social network then you’ll find it even easier to get started.

It can be disheartening to keep updating your Facebook page when only a handful of people see your posts, but remember that it can take time to build up social media momentum. For those of you that a want a helping hand try using Facebook’s ‘Promoted posts’ service. This tool turns your posts into an ad that appears on users’ desktop and mobile news feeds, even if they don’t follow you.  Again, you’ll find it even easier to set up if you’re already using Ad Manager.

Facebook really should be an important part of your social media marketing arsenal. It’s so easy to get great results that there really is no excuse for not using it to its full potential. Some websites can be confusing to navigate and get the best from, but Facebook is so simple that you won’t find yourself searching for the IT support number. So go on, stick a rocket under your Facebook page and really blow your customers away!
