Have you seen websites that have the number of Facebook likes on their
page? If the number of likes is a big number, its kind of
impressive. The problem however is that most starting face
bookers only have a few likes on their business page. If you
were to post your lack luster amount of likes on your webpage, viewers
would think that your website is new or a just that you are not a very
popular business. We can help with that. Local MN ads has the
resources to get you thousands of Facebook likes, from real
individuals, with real Facebook accounts. Within a few weeks you
could have more Facebook likes than your largest competitor.
Everyone seems to be using Facebook to connect with old friends, but
do you realize what this huge network could mean for your business? In
the past 3 years, Facebook has surged past MySpace to become our
preferred online hangout. And businesses are now the second largest
visited place next to Google.
Interesting research shows just how influential Facebook has become in
our daily lives. Combined with several critical adjustments to how
Facebook publishes “news” and intersects with other sites, the state
of Facebook is mind-blowing. And that’s a big deal for your business.
Here are 11 vital reasons your business needs to be involved with
Facebook:
1. 350 Million Global Users and Counting
Facebook announced recently that they had passed 350 million members,
making Facebook the third-largest country in the world, if it was a
country. (Perhaps that’s their end-game, joining the UN and raising an
army?)
2. 100 Million U.S. Users
Sure, Facebook is strong around the world (Canada has the highest
penetration rate), but nearly 1/3 of all Facebookers are here in the
U.S. You may have heard of a TV show called American Idol. On a good
night, it averages 20 million viewers. Facebook has 100 million
American members. Hmmm.
3. Average Facebook User Spends 55 Minutes Per Day
Nearly 1 hour per day, per user. That’s a lot of Facebook time. How
can your company grab a bit of consumer attention? This data is based
on Facebook’s own published stats, covered by Inside Facebook.
4. Nearly 80,000 Sites Using Facebook Connect
Connect is the Facebook initiative that has the greatest long-range
impact. By integrating Facebook closely, sites are making our personal
social graphs truly portable. Instead of having to go to Facebook and
other sites to visit our friends, they travel with us online (and in
our pockets via mobile devices), always there to provide advice or
commentary. Even Yahoo! and MySpace are rolling out deep Facebook
integrations.
This of course makes Facebook the central hub of not just social
media, but the web as well (which is why Google is scrambling to catch
up after their competing Google Connect fell flat).
5. Facebook Fan Box Becoming Pervasive
Perhaps the least powerful, but most prevalent, flavor of Facebook
Connect is Facebook Fan Box, a simple tool for enabling your website
visitors, YouTube video watchers, or email newsletter recipients to
become a fan of your brand—without even having to go to Facebook.
6. Average Facebook User Has 130 Friends
Will Facebook users continue to add more friends at a rapid pace? It
depends upon how they view their Facebook connections. 130 friends
almost bumps up against Dunbar’s Number of 150—the theoretical maximum
number of actual friend relationships you can sustain, according to
British scientist Robin Dunbar.
If Facebook continues to revolve around relationships that you
actually possess in three dimensions—people you “actually” know—then
the addition of bunches of new friends may slow considerably. But, if
Facebook makes the leap to tie people together more casually (like
Twitter), average friend counts could rise dramatically.
7. Average Facebook User “Fans” 2 Pages per Month
If you think tons of your customers should become fans of your
company’s Facebook page, you might want to recalibrate your
expectations. The average Facebook user “fans” only 2 new pages per
month. That’s not a lot, considering how many brands, causes, and
organizations we come into contact with on a regular basis.
If you’re going to make growth of your Facebook fan base a key part of
your social media strategy, you must create a clear rationale for why
consumers should participate with you.
You also might consider a robust, organized approach for promoting
your Facebook fan page.
8. Only 4% of Pages Have 10,000 or More Fans
If your Facebook fan page is a bit of a ghost town, you’re not alone.
A fantastic study by Sysomos of 600,000 Facebook fan pages shows that
only 4% of pages have 10,000 or more fans—and only .76% have 100,000
or more.
That’s why it is so critical to focus your Facebook strategy on
activating the fans you have, not just collecting fans like baseball
cards.
9. Wall Posts Don’t Impact Popularity
The Sysomos study also found very little correlation between how
frequently the Facebook page admin posted to the Wall and total number
of fans. However—and this is important—there is a strong correlation
between amount of other content (notes, links, photos, videos) and
number of fans.
Thus, if you want to grow your Facebook fan base, it is imperative
that you move beyond simple Wall posts and add photos, videos, links
and other content.
10. Customized News Feed
Facebook’s recent move to an algorithm-driven news feed means that
just because someone is your fan does not mean he will see your Wall
posts or status updates (true for both individuals and brands).
Instead, the default news feed is now comprised of content that
Facebook thinks you’ll like, based on your interactions with content
from that author in the past, and interactions by your friends with
that content.
This puts a tremendous premium on posting engaging content that will
get comments and likes and shares. If you’re not paying attention to
your content engagement scores within your Facebook analytics, start
doing so now, and testing content types to see what works best for
your brand.
11. Real-time Search Changes the Game
Facebook is now making most content available publicly, unless you
tell them not to via your privacy settings. Twitter opened their data
stream to anyone (not just big developers). Google and Bing are
incorporating this data into search results, in real time.
This has tremendous implications for search engine optimization and
reputation management, because a negative status update about your
brand might now show up on the first page of Google search results for
your company name (at least temporarily). The shakeout is still
happening, but someone in your company needs to be on top of real-time
search. Today.
Facebook may not be the ideal environment for every social media
initiative, but its huge size forces you to at least consider
participating—regardless of what type of business you run.
It’s not just fast-food chains like Souplantation that are promoting
their businesses on Facebook. Everyone from the ultra-small business
to the Fortune 500 corporation are placing bets on Facebook.
However, some brands are putting an awful lot of eggs in the Facebook
basket, which is perhaps justifiable based on the facts above.
However, I’m not so keen on building the centerpiece of a social media
strategy on what amounts to rented land. What say you?
Is your business taking advantage of Facebook? How important is it to
your social media efforts? What advice do you have for creating
content and managing Facebook fan pages?
