Tip #117: Post Photos on Facebook



Are you looking to get your customers and fans more engaged on Facebook?
According to this infographic from Kissmetrics, a blog focused on marketing analytics, photos get 53% more Likes, 104% more comments, and 84% more click-throughs than posts that include just text or links. That is a huge difference!
Ideas for posting pictures include:
·     Production– let them feel like they’re behind-the-scenes of a candy store
·     Product– remind fans how beautiful and delicious your chocolates and candies are and they may meet a temptation they just can’t resist
·     Promotions – create great images highlighting promotions and sales happening in your store
·     People – make it personal by posting photos of your staff and customers
This is just another great reason for investing in quality photos just like we mentioned in Tip # 67!
