With circa 600 million users, and at least half of these logging on daily, it’s no surprise that more and more businesses are getting in on the act and investing in Facebook management.

There is no denying that Facebook is a truly powerful platform, offering cost effective and measurable results. It is said that a ‘fan’ is 41% more likely to recommend and 28% more likely to continue using a brand they ‘like’ and will, on average, spend significantly more than a non-fan.

If you’re still not convinced then here’s five very good reasons to employ expert Facebook management:

1. Increase Brand Awareness: Managed well Facebook can be a great resource for generating brand awareness. Facebook is becoming popular amongst various age demographics and can create an interception point for building your relationship with both your consumers and prospects.

2. Increase Customer Engagement: With the right Facebook management you can entice, engage and invite customers to your website and business using a variety of marketing initiatives – comments, promotions, contests, events, sales and special offers which can all be advertised on your Facebook page. Facebook is a comfortable and user friendly platform that people are happy to use which is why it is a great way to get customer feedback on elements of your business. With successful Facebook management you will soon develop your own targeted community that you can quickly and easily tap into to understand their attitudes and behaviour towards you and topics relevant to your business.

3. Proactively Manage Your Reputation: Those who know your brand will talk about it, whether you like it or not and whether it’s good or bad comments (in fact they are more likely to talk about you if they’ve had a bad experience). It’s important not to ignore any feedback and vital to respond well to bad feedback. Facebook not only allows you to “speak directly” to your customers but it also allows you to see what they think of you, your business and it can be a great way to generate ideas for improvement. Facebook can be a useful tool for seeing what users are saying about you and your brand and to enable you to manage your reputation effectively.

4. Be liked: A ‘like’ on Facebook is basically an expression of affinity. It demonstrates that the ‘fan’ has an interest in your business and wants to hear from you. It’s similar to someone opting-in to receive email updates. A ‘like’ should be encouraged, treasured and nurtured, the more they engage with you, the more they like you. The more they like and interact with you the more likely they are to become and remain customers and the more their friends will hear about you too.

5. Generate word of ‘mouse’: With each user having, on average, 135 fans, Facebook offers fantastic brand reach potential. Everytime a Facebook fan ‘likes’, comments or posts on your Facebook page you are reaching an audience of far more than your fanbase alone, and of course the more fans you have, the further your reach will travel. Just having a Facebook page isn’t enough, it needs expert Facebook management to ensure the potential for your business is reached.
