Cater to mobile customers by encouraging check-ins, and using Place Tips
When a user views your Page and business information on the Facebook mobile
app, they’ll also be shown information like which of their friends have visited
and checked in, and whether they or the wider Facebook community have
recommended you with photos, star ratings and reviews on show. Knowing this,
it pays to encourage people to “check-in” if you have a real-life location. Display
notices in prominent areas of your establishment, such as the entrance, receipts
and point of sale, to prompt customers to get out their smartphones, check-in and
inform their friends of where they are, encouraging them to visit too. When a
review is left for a business, a status update is created that goes out to the News
Feed of that customers' friends, along with the business' cover and profile photo
and its star rating.
If a customer is already at your location and opens the Facebook app, Place Tips
come into play. Place Tips uses Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth (for the latter, you
can apply for a Bluetooth “beacon” to beam your information via
http://bit.ly/facebookbeacon
) to
automatically
show visitors more information about
your business, including the aforementioned reviews, photos, check-ins,
etc.
In
addition, it will encourage people to check-in and like your Page and, via the
About section of your profile, you can specify a custom Welcome Message to
greet customers to your establishment - perhaps give them a heads-up on offers
and discounts too!
Add a Facebook Page Plugin and share buttons to your website
To promote your Facebook Page on your website, grab the code for a Facebook
Page Plugin (formerly the “Like Box” at
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/page-
plugin
and embed it into a suitable spot on your website – the top of a sidebar is a
popular choice. When you set up the plugin, make sure to check the options to
“Show Friends’ Faces” and “Show Page Posts, as this will ensure that the plugin
shows viewers the profile photos of any of their friends who already like your
Page, as well as a scrollable, clickable preview of your most recent status
updates. Although most Facebook Page Plugins are placed in website sidebars,
some people have had success by inserting the widget
underneath
blog posts. In
this position, the plugin works as part of a call to action,
e.g.
"Did
you enjoy
reading my blog post? Yes? Then, click "Like" to stay updated on Facebook..."
Why not experiment with the position of your Page Plugin to see which works
best for you?
In addition to the Facebook Page Plugin, embed the Facebook "Like" and "Share
buttons on top of, besides, or underneath the blog posts and products on your
website. Doing this encourages people to broadcast their love for your work to
their friends and also lets them choose how they want to do it: "Like" posts links
to Facebook with one click, while "Share" allows them to add a personalized
message before posting. Grab the code for these buttons by searching the web
for 'Facebook Like button' (Google 'Facebook Like button') or by visiting the
Facebook Developers' page at
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button/
., or
automatically via a service like AddThis (
http://www.addthis.com
).
