  • nonsense posts related to a service.

  • @richardmclaughlin

    can you elaborate on this please?

  • imagine where your product would be  placed a Saturday morning cartoon, with critter-one chasing critter-two.  Piano salespeople have this one easy.

    Then replace the critters with you (or your client) and make the statement as if it really happened. 

    I fell off of the top floor of an office building when I was about three, but I landed on a trampoline and bounced into a convertible and drove away. Has that ever happened to you?

  • I also find engagement difficult on Facebook. Thanks for the topic.@albertmora 

    Mac, I am a online marketing strategist and educator working with small businesses who need resource and training on inbound marketing. What would you say would be a good engagement post? @richardmclaughlin

  • I posted a societal cause post on Facebook and invited friends for a debate on the same.  Not even one person came forward to post comment/view.  Wondered why? Seek help. 

  • know our  audience…

    and if  possible  dont  bore them….

    start with a real customer  base…. try and  get out there with real poeple who   know  your  service or  business….  and who actually are interested in  your  thing….

  • A tactic that I use for a client of mine is to design pictures with quotes that support her business in some way. People don’t so much engage with comments, but it’s shareable.
    I notice that asking for fan photos works really well for several brands that I follow. One that comes to mind in particular is a realty company that I follow. They have tens of thousands of followers and do an excellent job with their FB marketing. They do a fan photo of the week which seems to be wildly popular and they also post amazing pictures with the caption “Like if you would rather be here.” They get an insane amount of likes and comments. 
    What I see is that images get the most response. Of course, it makes it tougher for businesses where images don’t really go with their brand. It’s interesting to see the different things that work for different people.

  • Good suggestions, thanks! I know my posts are probably boring AND to the wrong audience! LOL Guess it’s back to the drawing board for me. @dawnchitwoodrivers

  • Every once in a while I go off topic and post a pic of a puzzle (like how many triangles are in the picture) or, my favorite, cheesecake. But I do like the business supportive quotes idea from @dawnchitwoodrivers…I think I might find a way to revamp my page.

  • @dawnchitwoodrivers love  your  real life  examples….  have  your picture posts   dropped off in  views?  mine  have and my whole  fb strategy has  been around   pictures…..now  something has  really  changed about how many  folks  they reach….

    @deniserubright good luck  denise!!!  i  didnt  see or mean    your   page when i mentioned  boring….it was a totally general comment……….  a good question i  face on  every  post of MINE  and in all my dealings with my  customers…i see the market as   jaded and  wanting somethng   neat and different …always a trikky  challenge!!!!lol
