You have managed to make one of the dandiest Facebook pages around. Your posts are spot on, and you are generating a lot of buzz from the small audience you have managed to grab. But as a social media marketer, you crave more more more. I know, I know you are asking yourself, “What can I possibly do to promote my Facebook page outside of Facebook?” Do not worry true believer, I have some advice that will have your page views skyrocketing.
Word of mouth is a solid way to get people to check out your page. Just by walking around the YMCA of Indiana County asking the members to like our page, I saw a big increase in page views and likes. It may seem obvious, but too often we forget to take advantage of our verbal communication skills. It’s easy on the budget by costing you zero dollars, and it really is effective. You could also ask your friends and family to like the page, after all isn’t that the point of having them?
Create a QR code to add to print media. This is one idea I never thought of until I started doing a little research, and it is incredibly simple. Just go to a QR code generator website, and create one for free. Click on that link to go to a free site that you can use.
Pretty fancy, right? And it only took me about 30 seconds to do. So now i can plaster this cool looking deal all over our print media, and it will provide our guests with a direct link to our Facebook page.
Most companies have a list of emails that are used for various communications. Why not put them to use to promote your Facebook page? Simply ask permission from whomever is in charge of the list, and shoot out an email explaining all the cool things you are doing on your page. Keep it simple and to the point, like your Facebook posts. Hopefully this will create a little more traffic for you.
If you make a lot of videos for your Facebook page, you should try posting a few on Youtube. Just mention the Facebook page at some point in the description, or even do a shout out in the video. If people are watching your video on Youtube, odds are they will want to see what other content you are offering.
One final thing that may be a little tougher to accomplish is to get your co-workers to put a link to the page on their personal site. Doing this requires you be at least on decent terms with them, so play nice at work. Co-workers that regularly engage with your site on Facebook can be extremely valuable and can drastically increase your reach.
