Facebook Marketing: Turning ‘Likes’ Into Loyalty
For many businesses, having a branded Facebook page has become a near-essential part of their marketing arsenal. In the year since Facebook began encouraging businesses to deploy the thumbs-up button across the web, brands have been racing to rack up “likes.” Research has shown that people who voluntarily click the “like” button are apt to recommend the brand to friends and may also be more willing to purchase the brand. But at the same time, the simplicity of the “like” button means that there may be no actual engagement beyond the fleeting moment of the click. To be successful in this post-“like” phase of Facebook marketing, companies will need to excite their fanbase with compelling posts, interactions that spur a sense of community and rewards for their ongoing support.
