Facebook Live is a Facebook feature that allows users to film and stream live video footage. If your company has a Facebook page, you can use Facebook Live to broadcast real-time video. As with all Facebook content, if you create a Facebook Live video, you can determine who within your audience and outside it can see it.

Copywriting is one of the most critical elements of any and all forms of marketing and advertising.

Copywriting consists of the words, either written or spoken, marketers use to try to get people to take an action after reading or hearing them.

Should you have a Social Media Plan?

Posted on 9th September 2021

Pretty much every business has a social media presence but being successful on social platforms takes more than just posting daily updates. You need to know what your goals are and who you are trying to reach? Do you understand the type of content that your audience truly cares about and why they would want to engage with you? Answering those questions and moving beyond a simple social presence requires a strategic plan.

A social media plan outlines what you want to achieve on social media and how it supports your overall marketing strategy. It helps identify your target audience, what social networks to join, and the type of content to develop and share.

Why should businesses have a social media plan?

Having a social media strategy in place will ensure that your social media efforts are more effective and are working to support your business goals.

Why Business Owners Should Use Video Content On Social Media

Posted on 6th September 2021

Video is the ultimate marketing tool, it allows businesses to be concise, unique, and capture viewer's interests in the first few seconds. Video content should ideally be between 1-2 minutes long. Long enough to maintain the viewer's attention but short enough to leave them wanting more. This length can engage distracted customers, encourage followers to act, draw out powerful emotions, help build trust, build brand awareness, and more.

A video puts a face to a name and allows your audience to see the genuine nature of your business. People like buying from people if they have confidence in you that hugely increases their likelihood to buy from you. Video is one of the top shared pieces of content on social media.

It’s estimated that the average person will consume more than 100 minutes of online video per day, that’s the equivalent of watching 25 videos per day!

When creating video for your business remember you don’t need a production crew, huge budget, actors, or special skills. You can grow your business and reach more people by creating inexpensive, high-impact videos, simply just on your phone.

Pre-recorded vs live content

Live and pre-recorded content offer unique value to the viewer and can increase engagement depending on how you run it.

When deciding whether your video should be live or pre-recorded, consider what you want to achieve. Are you trying to engage your audience or present information? Is expressing your brand’s authenticity more important, or creating a wow factor? Does the content require mobility or a professional and polished delivery?

Why Business Owners Should Utilise FB Groups To Gain Visibility

Posted on 3rd September 2021

Facebook groups are a strong marketing tool, allowing you to attract new customers and engage current ones with exclusive content, community, and support. These groups are a place to communicate about shared interests with certain people. You can create a group for anything, e.g., your family reunion, your after-work sports team, or your book club.

With the power of Facebook groups for business, brands have an opportunity to build communities and long-lasting relationships with customers. As you have access to Facebook’s 2.41 billion active monthly users.

How to win more business through social media

Posted on 27th August 2021

Are you winning business on a weekly basis through social media?

Most people don’t win business from social media because they don’t have time, don’t know what to post, don’t know when to post, don’t know how often to post, and simply lack the discipline to post regularly.

Social media is vital for a business as it increases the brands awareness, builds up your credibility and brand online. As well as drives traffic off social media to your website.

Creating a social media strategy is essential if you want to win business consistently.

This blog covers everything from why you’re currently not winning business through social media, and the four simple steps to create your strategy.

Why businesses should use Facebook ads

Posted on 20th August 2021

Facebook has over 1.9 billion daily active users; meaning it makes sense for businesses to use Facebook to boost their business. With 80 million small-medium sized businesses on Facebook (an increase of 23% year on year) and 6 million of those choosing to advertise on the platform - there certainly is a big reason to choose Facebook as one of your main marketing channels.

Facebook has a variety of features including Facebook ads. Facebook ads help businesses get more visibility for their Facebook content and boost traffic to their core website content. Since Facebook ads keep your audience engaged, it also helps your marketing strategy reach a new audience or market you never knew existed. Ultimately, if you advertise on Facebook, customers will get to know your brand, products, or services in a click of a button.

In case Facebook ads are still vague to you, let’s talk about why you need to be investing in them. Here are some of the benefits of Facebook ads that you need to know.

How to get more engagement on your Facebook page

Posted on 17th August 2021

Facebook engagement is important, as it can help extend organic reach.

Engagement helps boost your News Feed placement based on the Facebook algorithm. Likes and shares expose your posts to your audience’s extended network.

Ultimately, engagement indicates that your audience is well engaged. An engaged audience that wants to interact with your brand is something every marketer should aim for.

Facebook engagement is any action someone takes on your Facebook Page or one of your posts.

The most common examples are reactions such as likes, comments and shares, but it can also include saves, viewing a video or clicking on a link.

Location, Location, Location

Posted on 25th June 2021

Ensuring you have set the right location for your FB ads is important to the success of that campaign.

FB allows us to either type in the location area or drop a pin on an area to select where the people are who they should show it to. The location targeting also allows us to exclude people from certain locations too

Once we have the location Facebook has four options for location targeting:

Everyone in a location

People who live in this location

Recently in this location

People traveling in this location

Some of those opens are picked up from the data you enter and others from the GPS of your phone. 'Everyone in a location' is the defaulted option when creating a new ad

Ensure you pick the location and option that best suits the people you are trying to advertise to

Time is Precious

Posted on 25th June 2021

TIME IS PRECIOUS

Previously I did a poll asking what barriers stood in the way of people posting consistently on social media and time was a big reason. We get so busy doing the job we do that we forget to have a social media presence running as well. Having a social media presence is a major way to keep brand awareness and continue the supply of leads, enquiries or sales

To maximise your time effectively you have a few options. Firstly find the time - schedule time into your diary and write your weeks worth of posts in one go and then schedule them to go out over the week. By doing the whole weeks worth in one go you make the most of the time and its blocked out in your diary every week.

Secondly you get someone else to do it for you. This ensures the work is done and you don't have to worry about it at all. Complete peace of mind. Just ensure the person you outsource to provides quality

So which one would works best for you?
