How Facebook can drive in-store and online sales

Being one of the biggest and most used social media network platforms in the world, Facebook has made an impact on almost everything from businesses to industries etc. Apart from all the other interactions for which most of the generation uses Facebook for, FB is a very powerful tool for business owners running and operating small and medium and large scale businesses. The human psyche of a small business owner believes that by simply creating a Facebook Page, thousands of people will magically ‘Like’ their page and buys their products and services. However, this is not a piece of cake. Your audience and customer base will not grow unless it is cultivated properly.
There are many ways to strengthen your position and make either a small or a medium scale business flourish through Facebook as well.

1.     Your target audience should be defined

Target audience must be defined and precise. The page should be targeted to people on the basis of their interests, hobbies and location. Moreover, the targeting tool allows the users to reach a dedicated audience.

2.     Track the performance of every posts and pictures

If one of your posts is collecting a lot of organic ‘Likes’ within your community devote some advertising dollars to giving it a boost. Boosted Posts stay in users’ News Feeds longer and are shared with your audience’s like-minded friends.

3.     Provide value

The Facebook page must not be only used to sell products only but engaging with fans and people will make it more useful within the community.
