If you need to increase visibility for your business page on Facebook but don’t have the money right now to spend on advertising, there is a plethora of free tactics you can use. Here are just a few of the simplest, quickest ways to see an increase in followers:
- Include the url to the page in any electronic signature (on emails & newsletters, on your website, etc.).
- Put a fan page widget (basically a one-click button) on your website that allows people to “like” your page without taking them away from your website.
- Write a blog post/newsletter article listing 5 benefits they’ll get from following your page.
- Ask fans to post a link to your page on their page.
- Add a “like” box to the website, which includes the “face pile” (shows pics of up to 8 friends of whoever is looking, who also like your page).
- Include your page’s url on all printed materials: business cards, worksheets, letters, contracts, proposals, statements of work, etc.
- Make sure a link to your business page is on every other social media platform where you have a presence: feature it on your Pinterest, LinkedIn, Twitter, Slideshare, Google+, Instagram, YouTube, etc. accounts.
Don’t forget to welcome new followers, and make sure that you interact with them on your page. Make it worth their while to follow you!
