Gaining follower attention can be difficult with Facebook’s changing algorithm. As a result, publishers need to drive more engagement with their content because this is a key metric that determines how much visibility the Facebook algorithm would assign to a post, thus the more Facebook engagement, the more visibility. If you are unsure about why your Facebook engagement is low and you are looking to increase your visibility, here are 5 ways from Webable to help you improve your approach:
1. Describe objectives and key results
The most important part of any journey is the destination and this is no different for a social media strategy. Every brand is unique and you will have unique objectives and key results, some examples could be: 
  • Building brand awareness
  • Get leads and drive sales
  • Customer feedback
  • Online reputation management
Once you have defined objectives for your brand, you can move forward to understand your customer avatar.

Buyer persona. Marketing persona. Customer avatar. Target market.

These are the phrases that are used interchangeably to describe the fictional, generalised representations of the buyer persona most likely to purchase from you.
It is significantly important to the success of your marketing, sales, product development, and delivery of services that you have a deep understanding of who your customer avatar is. You've likely heard the phrase, "You can't hit a target you haven't set." This applies perfectly to the importance of having a clearly defined customer avatar, which will help you:
  • Determine which social platforms they are spending time on so you know where your business should be present and active
  • Be more effective in your advertising. Your marketing dollars will be well spent when you know where to advertise and who to target for maximum exposure.
  • Write copy that connects with your business avatar, which will give you a better understanding of their pain points, goals, and successes
  • Deliver and develop better products and services because you are able to anticipate your markets’ needs, behaviours, and concerns.

2. Provide valuable content
 
Sharing valuable content is the best method to gain trust and confidence from your target audience. Some options are sharing a newsletter, infographic, e-book, photo from behind the scenes at your office, a competition etc.
 
 
3. Facebook Ads
 
Another cost-effective and easy way to reach your target audience is to use Facebook advertising. You can share your valuable content to the target audience and drive the required conversions within a specified time period of the campaign. The audience mapping of Facebook is an excellent way to target your audience specifically.
 
4. Feature Customer Testimonials
 
If you want to create Facebook ads that drive the viewer to take a specific action, including customer testimonials is a must-do! This technique works because it starts the conversation off by answering objections that your target audience might already have. Begin by showing the exact benefits one of your most satisfied customers has received by using your product or service.

5. Compel action using a sense of urgency
 
It is proven that people are more likely to take action if there is an expiration date, price increase or a limited-time offer. If you have not used real urgency in your Facebook copy yet, now is the time to get started. You need to indicate that the offer will disappear and is not coming back anytime soon, to ensure that you compel action using this sense of urgency.
 
These are 5 easy tips and tricks to help with your Facebook marketing. If you are ready to begin or increase your Facebook marketing, WEBABLE can help.

Top 3 benefits of engaging with user-generated content for brands and businesses

21/6/2018

​User-generated content is defined as any type of content that has been created and shared by unpaid contributors or as many brands call them; fans. It can be an array of tools such as video, image, tweets, blogs, testimonials (written or video), and are created and shared for the sole purpose of USERS promoting a brand, rather than the brand itself.  The power of user-generated content lies in its potential of emotion. A business or brand telling the story of someone else’s experience is not as impactful as a person sharing his or her own story.  
WEBABLE has listed our 3 top benefits of engaging with user-generated content for brands and businesses.

1. Free Content
 
One of the main benefits of integrating user-generated content into your communication and social media strategy is the aspect of free content. Aside from the time that it will take you to work on your strategy to collect and collate the content, there are no other expenses for you. User-generated content provides you with free content that you can share and re-post also.
 
Creating consistent content is a challenge for content marketers. By implementing user –generated content it reduces the burden to produce consistent content. A simple image or review from a real customer can give an in-depth look into your product or service and having your own customers as your brand advocates gives you the opportunity for free content and to tap into this powerhouse of innovation and creativity from the perspective of your customers.
2.  Build Trust
 
Research shows that people trust their peers more than they trust a business or brand that is promoting and marketing themselves. Integrating user-generated content into your communications and social media strategy helps build a trusting and strong community and having other people promote your brand through video, testimonials, comments etc. is an asset that builds credibility of your business.
 
A study by Nielson shows that two-thirds of customers trust customer opinions online. (http://www.nielsen.com/us/en.html). When customers see that a follower/fan has contributed with their own content, it instills a feeling of genuine trust and this is something extremely hard to purchase. Build audience trust by getting true brand advocates to write and share content that they believe in.
3. Increase your reach
 
An excellent benefit of user-generated content is the opportunity to increase reach. If you are sharing user-generated content throughout your social media channels, there is a very good chance that the person who created and posted the content will share their own post with their friends and followers and will hopefully share your post also. Increased reach is an excellent reason for using user-generated content in your communications and social media strategy.
Customers crave authenticity, and brands are always on the lookout for new ways to expand their reach. User-generated content can help your brand connect and engage with customers in a cost-effective way and by calling on your target audience to produce their own content, you can easily decrease your costs and find new ways to engage with your audience through different platforms.
​Brands are turning to users to come up with creative plans for brand building with the help of social media. Discovering endless fresh content ideas can now be put in the hands of your customers and let your brand users to contribute to innovative and creative content creation. As stated above, user-generated content has its added advantage of appealing to consumers more as it is considered more authentic over strategic selling strategies.
 
If you are looking to engage user-generated content in your next social media campaign, WEBABLE can help.
