    Businesses cannot ignore their audience accessing Facebook via mobile.

    Listen to the show to learn about the opportunities Facebook mobile users offer businesses and discover how mobile marketing has become an integral part of their social experience.

    How can Instagram and the Camera app on Facebook give you more options?

    Mari shares how Facebook is now positioned to take advantage of this mobile opportunity after acquiring the solely mobile app Instagram.

    She also brings up the possibility of Facebook rolling out Instagram.com profiles and the rumors of Facebook entering the hardware market and coming out with a phone. Mari also gives you a quick review of mobile apps and how they work.

    How should you adapt your marketing for mobile Facebook users?

    Mobile users consume content mainly through their Facebook news feed. With this in mind, here are some marketing tips for businesses to ensure visibility in these mobile news feeds:

    • Post succinct content of 160 characters or fewer
    • Make use of photos
    • Ask short-and-sweet questions
    • Be humorous and entertaining if appropriate
    • Add calls to action

    Facebook Offers are popular with local businesses from a mobile standpoint. But if you don't use Offers, take advantage of your updates and post something like: “Are you on a mobile phone? Come in and get a free coffee.”

    What are the best paid advertising options on Facebook?

    Since going public, Facebook has made changes in the reach of content posted on Facebook and their advertising options. Many businesses are frustrated with Facebook now asking them to pay to get higher visibility for their content.

    Some businesses are finding value with Promoted Posts. Mari advises businesses to take the time to test Promoted Posts when their page has a low number of fans or has plateaued with a low engagement rate.

    Also, given the nature of the Facebook mobile app, Promoted Posts will get more visibility on mobile Facebook apps.
