The Importance of Using Fan Pages

In order to make millions on Facebook, you have to define who your audience is. Who are you advertising to? Are you going after adults? If so, what age group? Do you know what your prime customer wants? If you know these answers to these queries, then when you set up your fan page, you will have an idea and can make the kind of content that will please those people you are going after.
You need to define what your goals are with your fan page. Are you seeking mainly sales lead generation or are you after sales? One way to use Facebook is as a direct marketing channel. You just put info about your product on the fan page, with a link back to your product page. People will see what you are selling before they get to the actual product page.
Don’t forget what Facebook is though. It may be a way for you to advertise your product, it is still a social website, so you will need to incorporate aspects of social media on your fan page as well.
Another interesting aspect to Facebook is you get to choose what page people will see when they first get your landing page. And when they finally get to your page is it compelling enough for them to believe what you say and to react.
Your focus is to satisfy your customer’s needs. With Facebook, you can easily find out what your customer wants because each one can leave feedback on your fan page. This way you will know what is in your customer’s mind. You can engage these customers by replying to their comments. You can keep the flow of commenting going.
Some of the questions you may want to consider include what they do on Facebook? When they log in, how much time do they spend on the media site? How often do they log into Facebook on a given day, week, or month? What types of content or products are they interested in looking at, reviewing, or purchasing. Once you know the answers to these questions, you can gear your fan page so you can answer these questions.
By knowing what type of products your customers want, you are now in the position to determine whether your product meets their (the consumer’s) qualifications and needs. If it does, you are in business. if it doesn’t, you may have to rethink your strategy, and perhaps come up with a different product.
There is one thing that can set you over your competition that you may want to look at. Take a look at fan pages of those who have sold products (not necessarily yours or what is in your niche) and see what they have done to their fan page. You may see something striking. See what they are doing right and imitate it. Why re-invent the wheel when you can just imitate what is being done and do it consistently. This is what will bring you the best results.
