Has one of your Facebook strategies for your business been
to grow sales? If so, we hope these tips help you meet that goal!
- Share Specials That Are Just for Facebook Fans
For holidays or even just fun days,
post specials with fun keywords that fans can redeem in your store. For
example, for Talk Like a Pirate Day on September 19, promote sales by creating
a special they’ll receive in store if they use the words “Arrrrgh”
or “Ahoy” in a sentence. Then, only promote this special on Facebook to draw
your fans into your store. Be sure to
specify any limits, etc. associated with the special.
- Encourage Sharing
How many Facebook likes do you
have? If you’re aiming for a certain goal number, let your fans know and
encourage them to invite their friends to like your Facebook page. You could
even provide a coupon prize for the xxth like along with the person
who invited them to like your page. By increasing your likes you will be
expanding your reach and with the coupon you will be drawing them into your
store.
- Use Pictures to Entice Appetite (and Sales)
As chocolate and candy makers, you
have a great opportunity to entice appetites for your treats by using images.
Research has confirmed that food images can stimulate the “crave” part of the
brain which could entice them to visit your store (in person or online) to
purchase your products. Take advantage of this by posting beautiful pictures of
your products to remind your fans why they should visit your store. Pay
attention to the quality of your photos before posting them – if you don’t
think they look beautiful and enticing, your potential customers probably won’t
think so either and won’t be encouraged to pay your store a visit. If you need high quality photos, consider
asking your suppliers if they have product photos you can use to promote sales in your store.
