Are you trying to stay on top of social marketing AND enjoy summer? Don’t let the beach bump your social marketing to the back burner.
Here’s two quick social marketing questions that are HOT topics in our industry, along with quick tips you can use right now to grow your marketing—while not missing out on the pleasures of summer.
Q1 – How Can I Reach the RIGHT Fans?
How can I market to people who are really interested? I don’t want to pay to advertise to people who are not ‘warm’ leads.
A1 – Easy!
Imagine this: Being able to reach out to people who went from Facebook to your website to check out your last blog? Sounds challenging, but it’s super easy!
Let’s say you’ve just created and posted a new blog on Facebook about your top selling destination. You got tons of Facebook users who clicked thru to read your blog on your website! Woohoo!
Next, you’d love to show those people a new video of that same destination. But, how do you reconnect with those fans?
It’s easy to work that kind of magic when you have your Facebook pixel installed! That’s right…using your pixel, you can track Facebook fans who read that specific blog post and then create an ad audience that includes just those fans! Then you can show that video to those people! Talk about showing people just what they want to read. They’ll think you’re a mind reader! So cool!
You can also set up different audiences to target different types of business. For example, you can create an ad audience for people who read your wedding planning blog post, a different audience of people who watched your cruise tips video. The options are as endless as your imagination and niche marketing strategies.
