There are many different things that  you can do to use it as an effective marketing tool, though.<\/p>\n<p>Incorporating  various tactics can mean the difference between your page being a  conversion engine that makes your business money or a dead link that does  absolutely nothing. Here are some top tips for ensuring your success.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Create a Different Look<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Having a Facebook fan page is a good start, but you may have noticed  that a lot of businesses have pages and they all look the same. The  first thing you need to do is create a specific visual presence. This  can be done in various ways.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dcincome.com\/blog\/facebook-fan-page-marketing-warning\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2094\" title=\"Facebook Fan Page Marketing\" src=\"https:\/\/dcincome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Facebook-like-300x299.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"155\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcincome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Facebook-like-300x299.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dcincome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Facebook-like-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/dcincome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Facebook-like.jpg 347w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 155px) 100vw, 155px\" \/><\/a>A few simple things that you can do is  include an interesting logo and ensuring your photo gallery has  interesting images in it that are connected to your business.<\/p>\n<p>Although you are able to do this simply, you can also incorporate  elements in a more interesting way by using specifically designed  software online. Some are free, some are paid services but they&#8217;re  relatively easy to use.<\/p>\n<p>With those programs, you\u2019ll be able to use various  templates to upgrade the entire look of your site so your Facebook fan  page marketing will convert better.<\/p>\n<p>Another option is to go  all out and customize your fan page. This is what I did. I hired Jason  Deitch&#8217;s company, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fanpagegenerator.com\/go\/a260\">FanPageGenerator.com<\/a> to work their magic. Think of  them as like the Mercedes of custom fan page services.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ve worked with most of the A-players and industry leaders you know.<\/p>\n<p>What  I really like is that they send a videographer out to your office for a  professionally produced video. You can see my Facebook page page here  to get a glimpse of their work or have a look at their extensive gallery  at their site above.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fresh Content<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Adding fresh content is very important. If your Facebook fan page sits  idle or is rarely updated, it will be virtually ignored by search  engines. Fresh content that is connected to your primary website is  essential in getting noticed and keeping people involved.<\/p>\n<p>Content that is helpful to visitors, well written and interesting will  keep people coming back as they recognize your page as a true resource.  Also, when it comes to new content, allowing people to share their  insights and interact with you and others will serve your business well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Add Video<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dcincome.com\/blog\/facebook-fan-page-marketing-warning\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2099\" title=\"marketing your Facebook fan page\" src=\"https:\/\/dcincome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Facebook-icon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"128\" height=\"128\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe first point of this article, making sure your fan page on Facebook  has its own look, acknowledges that the internet is a visual medium. We  react to what we see on the web more than to audio or written words.<\/p>\n<p>Video, which in essence is a series of stills strung together to create  movement, is a huge asset to any site and a major drawing card when the  video captures people\u2019s attention and imagination.<\/p>\n<p>Your videos should not be long. Usually a minute or two works best. They  need to be engaging in some way and connected to your enterprise.<\/p>\n<p>Be  sure to allow and invite comments on each video. That will make  something that is already active even more active. Encourage visitors to  suggest other video topics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Points for Interaction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What every <a title=\"Facebook fan page marketing\" href=\"https:\/\/dcincome.com\/blog\/facebook-fan-page-marketing-warning\/\">Facebook fan page marketing<\/a> campaign needs are points for  interaction between you, your visitors and fans. The first thing you  need to do is capture and hold people\u2019s attention. A smart design will  go a long way in initially doing this.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Remember, there are only two purposes of the actual fan page. One, to get someone to &#8220;like&#8221; your page, then for them to put their name and email into a lead capture form so you can build an email list off of Facebook!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is critical because you want to have FULL control of your audience and list. For all you know, Facebook could change their terms of service anytime and block your account tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Never roll the dice and gamble on uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have an email marketing follow-up system, you can go to <a title=\"MyProResponse.com\" href=\"http:\/\/MyProResponse.com\">MyProResponse.com<\/a> and find a $1 trial of Aweber. I&#8217;ve been using it for the past 3 years and have been very pleased with their opt-in form creator, high deliverability rates, great customer phone support, and overall functionality of the auto-responder.<\/p>\n<p>After the lead capture is in place, you have to hold onto those visitors and keep them coming back.  That\u2019s where fresh content and video come in. Attending to these three  elements above will be a good start in creating a Facebook fan page that  contributes to your success.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Run a Facebook Ads Campaign<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a  great way to drive INSTANT traffic to your fan page once the design is  set-up and ready to capture attention and leads. You&#8217;ll need to test the  ads you create frequently though, as you want to drive the cost per  click down to a minimal and have your ads converting high. Strive for high click-through rates.<\/p>\n<p>Run  your Facebook ads during the day, for the most part. Why? People are  usually on the social network at their 9-5 job, that&#8217;s why!
