Recommendations & things to avoid

New companies going Facebook has big challenge to get visibility without paid advertising.

Promote in those times there is interesting activity going on in your company.

Suitable budget for small company is 200-400 eur

Don’t use just paid marketing. Interesting content and conversation is the best Facebook can offer.

Stop in a time. Don’t weary your network. After two weeks it’s a time to make little pause.

Common guidelines of Facebook-page content production

The administration should be active. A good principle could be minimum one update in two weeks when is quiet and four updates in a day when is lot of activities and happenings.

A page without new content doesnt´t attract to join. Comments without replies leads to disappointment..

Is important to maintain positive attitude and aim to communication with customers. ”Don´t sell – engage”

Päivityksiin voi laittaa perään päivittäjän etunimen. Se tuo päivityksiin henkilökohtaisuutta.

Oman henkilökohtaisen Facebook käytön myötä oppii, miten muut yritykset markkinoivat, kuinka usein ja miltä se ”asiakkaan” näkökulmasta vaikuttaa.
