My main way to market on Facebook is facebook groups. I love the ability to message all members. it like having a list. Can you also message members of fan pages: I heard many good thimgs about fan pages. How are thet better for markwting? 2hick do you prefer and why:
I have a few fan pages and I love it. I personally don't join groups as it sort of implies that you will be active within that group. A fan page is simply "become a fan" then done. As the admin of a fan page, you can write messages that will appear on everyone's feed, but you can't message them directly (not all at once at least). I've found that getting fan interaction with your posts (e.g. what do you guys think about... or post your favorite part of the show....) is effective in making them loyal members of your fan page. I'm fairly new to the game though, so I'm still trying to figure out how to actually get turnover of fans to site members / customers but if anything else, it's an effective way to get your message in front of a lot of people.
You market to them by posting. It appears directly on their feed instead of in a message which will likely be reported as spam. Also, fans can interact with your posts by "liking" or leaving comments visible to everyone else. This interaction is invaluable when trying to market a site, product, or even other pages (as long as the discussion taking place isn't particularly negative).
You basically sneak an "advertisement" in every now and then. For an example, if you have a fan page of a particular subject - throw in 1 advertisement out of every 10 posts. That way - your really not spamming at all.
I disagree. People become fans just so others will see it on their wall. Groups are a little more involved.
We have a couple of fan pages (7search, ASKPPC) and it really is a great way to get information out about your product. On our end, we are able to send out information on new tutorial videos, promo offers, or other features and see a pretty good return.
I think fan page is better than group, because in fan page, we can send message to all members although it has 100.000++ fan, but in group, we can't send message to all members if the group has reached 5000 members. I use fan page to promote my product and I am very love it
So, you can mass message all your members? So basically it is just like a facebook group then, except that you can post to their feeds as well. That is great. Looks like I will definately have to try this out. So how do you guys promote your fan pages to get more members?
Fan pages are designed with advertising in mind rather then groups. They are much more customizable and give you many more beneficial features.
The Fan pages is more effective than groups , you cannot send 5000 members in your group but Fan pages send a notification to all fans in their news feed , by this tool you can arrive your massage to unlimited number of fans
If you have a good relationship with your network and give them always valuable information ,when you suggest your fan page to your friends they will suggest it to their network imagine if you have 1000 friends and each friend have 1000 then you will obtain 1000x1000 =1000000 fans the conclusion is your good reputation and realtionship with your network will help you to get your fans with no effort
Fan page is more effective than groups but the reason is you can notice unlimited membesr but you cannot send more than 5000 member in the group
