@katrina-cole Generally, at initial stage we post informative, fun oriented and interesting content that attracts and retains fans. The gradually design schemes, promos and some contest like photo contest, lucky winner contest etc. You may also use quiz app.

for long lasting organic likes i try to stay in tune with what THEY like…what they come to me for…..for us THAT MEANS whats happening at the store, . interesting product pictures most popular products, how to use them….people pictures…something fun and dorky once in a while…
..we build our page from our customers and connections not the other way around….so we kind of know what they are about and what they like….

@katrina-cole I am not sure what your business is but if your are working face to face with your clients always ask them if they are on facebook and have your fan page url on your business card. I even include a QR code (scan code) on my business card that direct links to my fan page so people can do a simple visit on their mobile device. It does not matter how many fans you have because the only ones that count are the ones that convert.

@ken-mcclary hit it right on the head in that it’s all about what the fan does for you and not their ‘Likes’.
Ultimately users follow your company page on Facebook because there is some incentive for them to do so. Posting interesting and informative content is always good (keep a schedule!), you can also run promotions that get your fans talking. Simply asking people to ‘Like’ is also not a bad thing as long as you’re not forcing them to do so. Never hurts to
Never forget the real world! Telling your customers the benefits of following your brand on Facebook can work wonders. If it’s purely electronic, try placing the call to action over email.

@katrina-cole Content is king! Posting content that is informative, sets you up as an expert in your niche, and, sometimes, that is just plain fun and entertaining will keep people coming back. It will also generate more “visitors” to your page through posts that may be shared or commented on.
Good luck!

Try collaborating with other page admins, don’t over-do it but share their info when you get the chance and tag them on posts they may find helpful and eventually you’ll have an ‘army’ of fellow admins working with you to promote your page (same as you do theirs)… Just keep it practical and remember your fans first. =)

@heatherperkins i dont get this…in my world it would be like   macys promoting   pennys, or ford featuring chevys………… i wouldnt use my page to promote others selling what im generally selling …
this seems so normal in  the social media marketers world …it looks like most are about   education   more than promoting  their product…
it must be a lot different   than my world….hopefully its working out in a cash way or you wouldnt be doing it so omuch………….big advice from gurus in my world is never to   lead a person away from your   website….

This does not have to be competitors… Let me give you an example, I have my Internet Marketing page and I have linked up with admins from a Networking page, Photography Business, Finance Company and a Blogging Expert… We cross-promote one another and it works. See the difference? =)

@heatherperkins i see the cross linking quite often… …. and if it works great….. hopefully you arent putting on links to your competitors too….i have seen that a lot especially since most marketers offer such a wide range of things, and actually do offer many of the same things as the links they so often share..aka overlap…. …. thats what i was talking about…
….i do try not to send a customer away from my site , since ive tried so hard to get them there…..even if it isnt in competition with me….i do link out on facebook once in a while ..but it sure wouldnt be to a place trying to sell to my customers…..
i guess its just a different way of looking at business….

No - work with admins for pages that compliment yours…another example from one of my pages: a Hair Salor that occasionally cross-promotes the page of a Tanning Salon within their community (and visa versa). The Tanning Salon does NOT do hair and the Hair Salon doesn’t do tanning… See how that could work? =)
