Event Marketing on your Facebook Business Page Buy Facebook Fans
At the top of your Facebook Business Page there is an icon marked, “Events”.
ď śClick on this to open a Calendar and use it to advertise a forthcoming business event to your Facebook Friends.
ď śSounds simple enough – and it is, except there are a few tricks to make this work harder for your business.
ď śMany businesses recognize the power of Event Marketing. For example, you may have a conference to advertise, or you may be marking the launch of a new product.
The retail business has traditionally advertised “Sales” through the use of Event Marketing. For example, “The Harrods Sale” is a now traditional event that is often marketed on
ď śTo make your Event stand out, the first thing you need to do is Highlight it (using the star in the top right hand corner of your Event as it appears in the Timeline), then get someone, anyone, to Like it and to Post something about it.Â
ď śThe trick is to start getting someone to talk about your event. To create a Buzz that will keep it in your Timeline as a popular Post.
ď śThis is a basic Facebook technique, but for some reason, many Facebook Page owners just do not bother to post further updates about the Event or respond to Posts about the event.
You have to make it interesting too. So, new images, or audio, or video if you have it.
Perhaps it would be useful to deploy a Countdown App to the Event, or a Counter about how many tickets have been sold. Or perhaps to use a competition.
ď ś(The first person in the queue gets a further 20% off). These are traditional Event Marketing techniques used on Facebook!
ď śIf you are advertising a recurring Event, then often it is acceptable and useful to publish photographs and video from last year's event.Â
ď śIf you do not have any, that’s too bad, but for goodness sake, make sure you capture some from this years event to use next year.
ď śClever retailers have found that they can use Facebook Event Marketing to directly sell goods on a Social basis.
So if they were advertising the sale of an electrical product, perhaps yhey wouldn’t lower the price until 1,000 people had Liked the Page.
ď śFor an expensive, sought after product, this can really realise the power of social referral, as everyone asks their Friends to Like your Page so that you will be encouraged to drop the price.Â
Very clever indeed! Why not give this technique a try it?
