Facebook for Marketing, Sales and Business


Can you use facebook as Marketing and Sales?
How do you use Facebook for Business?
How to use Facebook to generate Business?

Different businesses use Facebook in different ways and purposes, and people also follow brand pages for a variety of reasons. However, most people admit to following brands in order to receive special offers that are only available to members of their Facebook communities. The fact is, when you have 1100 people who Like your brand, that’s 1100 potential customers.
Use your Facebook page to make them feel good about the brand as well as your products or services. This way you’re cultivating a community of advocates who will feel so good about your brand, they won’t only buy from you, but they’ll act as advocates and provide good word of mouth marketing.
For example Starbucks is giving free Wi-Fi for their customers without any conditions.  People have reason to go there and spend whole day and sit there for one reason. It may apply with Facebook.   In order for customers to log into the free Wi-Fi, they are required to “like” the Facebook business page.  When they do, they receive an offer for doing so, and consequently, the business owner can repeatedly market them.
To create a business page you can go on https://www.facebook.com/business/build.

Establishing an online presence and bringing together all of your marketing collateral is hard. But the key is plan it and decide the strategy so people can find and believe in your brand. Facebook is one part of many online channels to do this, but coming first in this category. People are in touch with FB so much now that simply not having a business page could turn someone away or be a ‘loss’ in business.
Link your facebook account with other related brands/businesses, follow the related Brands. Establish a following/interest in your brand/products/service and generate data on how your audience is interacting with your page. Do Analysis of available audience data. Allow you to experiment with ideas like comps, promo’s, and ask your audience’s opinion about you/your brand. It will allow you to do things like invite people to things, message your audience directly, and follow important trends etc.
Another way to promote and improve your business is do contests on facebook. Majority of the people like Facebook Contests and I think it work really better for engagement, analysis and structured plan. People are getting bonus points for sharing.  They don’t always fly though.  In contests you may get the e-mail address and it is best way to increase your customers.  
I feel like Facebook works really well to build a community but to translate your audience into direct sales is hard.  I like making sure you get your Facebook fans onto your e-mail list by contests or direct contact and many people think e-mail marketing is more powerful than Facebook for converting to sales.  But they may have come from a Facebook connection first.  Facebook is a great place to share things and connect with new people, but e-mail is where the real marketing occurs.

If you have done everything that you can think of: good discount, free gift, free promotions, posting once a day, putting new products up, asking questions to initiate conversation, etc. But for some reason you are having a hard time getting people to our page. In this case you may not have proper plan and analysis for the business. Business analysis may solve this problem.

Sometimes you think you need more pictures and post with more interesting info. A lot of your posts are like: ‘Have a good weekend!’ ‘Enjoy your week everyone!’ good thoughts on at your products, you can do your business by a lot more fun and it will attract your audience also. Post better pictures of your products and just post video information that may interest your audience.

Some good examples of facebook pages are
