What is the value of Facebook fan? - Nothing, unless you engage meaningfully.
Everyone's on the ship, but not anyone can be praised for the effort. The fact is, people don’t want to hear about products and they usually don’t want to see advertisements while surfing the web and checking up with friends on social networks. We rarely visit Facebook with the single thought to engage with brands.
In order to engage in meaningful discussions and get ROI, brands must have well-crafted strategy in mind. Companies should be prepared to provide value and they need to design positive and fun experience via the social web that encompasses the overall story.
I suggest this simple Facebook marketing checklist right before engaging on social media:
✓ Facebook marketing goals established. These goals must be aligned with the main marketing and business objectives,
✓ Content marketing plan developed. Your content managers are responsible to prepare a content that will attract your Facebook fans' attention, earn their trust and consistently provide value.
✓ Engagement strategy. A dedicated community manager need to guide your online community and convey the message for the brand. He is the soul and large portion of the
✓ Promotion strategy. Although the power of conversation and the real value coming from remarkable content are the best marketing, you should engage fans via contests, sweepstakes, quizzes and original/creative ideas.
