The truth about business is that no matter how great your products are, you won’t be able to sell anything if no one knows you exist. Your business relies on marketing to guide consumers to your products. And that’s why today, I’m going to show you what makes Facebook such a powerful tool for targeting on social media. If you’re new to the world of social media marketing, don’t worry. I’m going to show you the step-by-step process to building and managing a Facebook Business page that will convert....
Over recent years, the criteria for engagement on social media has evolved from announcing your brand or product to finding a way to tell a story. Quality branded video campaigns allow companies to project said story in some really creative and unique ways. Whether you're spreading brand awareness, announcing a new product, or launching a company, great branded video makes customers feel an emotional connection. And that emotional reaction can be really powerful. In fact, a recent survey by eZanga found that 30% of respondents were less likely to skip video content if it was humorous. And research by Dr. Karen Nelson-Field found that 65% of videos that elicited a feeling of exhilaration were most remembered. When it comes to finding the right platform to promote your video, Facebook is a strong contender. In fact, just this past January it announced that platform now sees 100 million hours of daily video watch time. So to help inspire your video marketing efforts on Facebook, I put together a list of 10 clever examples from brands like Apple, LG, BMW, and more. Check them out below....
Facebook have opened up Instant Articles to publishers of all sizes. In this post, we’ll guide you through the ins and outs of Facebook’s publishing platform and how to get started.
The announcement that Instant Articles were being opened up to all publishers came in February 2016, and they were officially opened for all on April 12, at Facebook’s F8 conference.
A Facebook-native publishing platform has been rumored since the social network changed its News Feed algorithm to favor “quality content” in 2013. Since that update, Facebook has become one of the top referrers of traffic to news sites and blogs of all sizes, and in the summer of 2015, traffic analytics company Parsely revealed that Facebook had even overtaken Google as the number 1 referrer of traffic to news sites....

So you've decided to set up a Facebook Page for your company -- or maybe you just want to make the most of your existing one. Well, considering Facebook is home to more than 1.4 billion monthly active users, you're making a smart move.
But if you think you can just slap together a Facebook Page and expect the leads and customers to roll right in, you've got another thing coming. The chances of actually generating leads and customers from Facebook are pretty slim if you're not creating a Facebook Page with the potential to get noticed, Liked, and engaged with. Check out the tips below to make sure you're creating an engaging page that doesn't fall flat....

Is your Facebook engagement dropping?
Need some inspiration to pump up your Facebook marketing?
As the Facebook news feed continues to change, it’s important to figure out how to make the platform work for you.
In this article I’ll share Facebook pages from both large and small brands, and tips to incorporate their tactics into your Facebook marketing plan.
According to John McDermott at Digiday, Instagram is conducting a test (yes, for now it’s just a test) with Mercedes-Benz that allows them to target Facebook users who previously saw one of its Instagram ads. While this development is eye-opening in and of itself, as it gives hints into Facebook plans on returning their $1B investment, it also shows Facebook’s commitment to transforming how advertising not only can coexist with social media, but thrive and break into new levels of adoption.
What stands out the most to me is how inherent behavioral characteristics seen on both Facebook and Instagram are being aligned with their natural fit in the conversion funnel. As noted by McDermott, Instagram’s product naturally promotes behavior more conducive to the top of the funnel, where brand awareness comes into play. If Instagram is committed to preserving the user experience that allowed them to break 200 million users, it behooves them to preserve this characteristic of their product and not to “forcefully” incorporate more direct-response elements like call-to-action buttons, etc....
While we chase the dream of having and creating an awesome Facebook page, many brands can’t make their Facebook marketing work. You might be making these mistakes or you’ve witnessed some of your favourite brands make them once or twice.

And while these mistakes are made by thousands around the world, the aren’t created equal. I’ve made many mistakes over the course of my career in digital marketing and social media but I’ve learned from them.Why? Because mistakes are okay if you learn from them as a result....
The newly launched Facebook hashtags could prove to be the savior of Graph Search – the recently launched Facebook search feature. Graph Search does what it promises – returning search results based on the social graphs of your Facebook friends, fans, and followers. This means that you tend to see search results only for those friends and businesses with whom you are already closely aligned.
If you happen to be using Facebook for outreach and marketing, the new hashtag feature will extend your reach dramatically. This will create both risks and rewards, so you will want to choose your hashtags with care....
The unfortunate reality is that the majority of businesses, particular small and medium localized ones, are completely missing out on the potential benefits of their Facebook page. It’s not all about the page, but that’s a good place to start and the best venue through which to have control over your own destiny. Here are some signs that your social media strategy has your page operating at a low level. Don’t be discouraged – the vast majority of pages out there are feeling the same types of pains you are. The good news is that with a little help, businesses can make a swift turnaround and find success. It just takes understanding the realities of Facebook marketing....
Facebook recently launched a new feature which has been used by a number or high-profile journalists in order to host conversations. The feature is currently being rolled out, and all Facebook pages will get the option by 10 July, as will all individual accounts where the person has more than 10,000 followers. In a similar way to a Reddit AMA (ask me anything), a person or page can take questions in real-time. The Q&A feature was announced on 25 March, and has since been used by Arianna Huffington, ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer, and CBS News senior correspondent and former FBI spokesman John Miller, who did a live Facebook Q&A about the investigation into the Boston marathon bombings....

Facebook offers great opportunities to attract, engage and convert would-be customers, but building a high-converting Facebook page has been elusive for many organizations.
It's important to know the elements of a successful Facebook page; it's even more crucial to recognize the reasons your Facebook page is failing.
If you want your ideal customers to "like" your page and follow you, you have to continually reward them with great content and build an engaged community. This means employing a content strategy that works for your business both culturally and operationally.
You also have to incorporate Facebook ads to promote your content, increase clicks to your website and turn fans into customers.
Is achieving consistent engagement and conversions on Facebook a struggle for your company? Here's a list of 10 reasons why your Facebook page is failing, along with tips to make it work for you rather than against you:
How is it going with getting your posts seen by your fans on Facebook these days?

…CRICKETS! and a big UUUGGGHHH, what happened, right?
Low Facebook Reach is NOT Your Fault
I will say it again…it’s NOT your fault. The truth is that Facebook has stacked the cards against you.
An announcement late last week by the Facebook media team may have been overlooked by many marketers, but it has intriguing ramifications. Facebook announced that it would effectively allow any organization with a verified page to publish brand-sponsored content without asking Facebook for explicit permission first, provided that content was tagged to the brand. They said: "Today we're updating our branded content policy to enable verified Pages to share branded content on Facebook. Along with changes to our branded content policy and ads policy, we're offering a new tool that makes it easy for publishers and influencers to tag a marketer when they publish branded content. Publishers and influencers must use this tag for all branded content shared on Facebook." What does it mean?...

This delicate balance is handled by a machine-learning algorithm. In short, it looks for your subtle and obvious indications to know what you do and don’t like seeing in your News Feed. Like any algorithm, it gets things wrong.
Brut what do we really know about its triggers? I asked Facebook for more details about the cause and effect of my behavior in News Feed to figure out why things happen the way they do. The answers were pretty interesting — some were even “Like”-worthy.
Why do I keep seeing the same post appear at the top of my News Feed? I didn’t “Like” it the first time around, so I shouldn’t have to see it the next time I open Facebook. Why is Facebook nagging me to like something?...
