4. Understand your Fans
Look at feedback and see what people respond to most. Don’t always post things for self-promotion. Do a wide array of things, informative tips, videos, and other related post to the nature of your content. Lets say you own a vet office. Offer some tips on animal care, best food for pets, or any other news you may find related to your business. Include lots of photos. People are very visual and love seeing pictures. This will direct them to like your page.
5. Incorporate a Cause or Promotion
Incorporate a cause on your page. If people see that you’re taking a stride in the right direction they will want to join you! As in the example above, if people see you’re posting about saving animals, and you join a cause, they will be encouraged to like your page because they might believe the same thing as you, and you’re supporting a cause. The same as promotion. Encourage your fans to like your page and receive 25% of their next purchase. Everyone loves to feel as if their saving money, and getting something. This will increase your page likes and bring you more traffic to your site. Remember if one thing doesn’t work, don’t get discouraged! Shake it off, and try at another approach.
6. Have a contest People love to be competitive. Have a contest and the winner gets something free. It could be a question they have to answer, or the first person to like the post wins, just be creative. Once they receive your product they are more than likely to buy and like your page.
