Five tips for a successful Facebook fan page

If you’re using Facebook, you’ve seen them. You might even have one of your own.

Fan pages are Facebook’s response to marketing. Unlike groups, fan pages are (in theory) created and administered by an official representative of the business, celebrity, etc. Fan pages allow you to share and leverage content created inside and outside Facebook with dedicated followers. And when you’ve got news, it’s easy to send a message to all your followers using Facebook’s interface.

There’s a fine art to making a fan page that works for you. Instead of creating yet another web entity that you must update and moderate regularly, carefully tool your page so that content is distributed automatically and updates regularly.

Here are five tips for making the most of your Facebook fan page:

  • Provide usable content: For many of us, the heart of a Facebook fan page is the content we’re producing elsewhere. If you’ve got a blog, you’ve got content: make sure your blog’s RSS feed is loading into your FB fan page automatically. Add to that regular content with occassional Facebook-exclusive updates – otherwise blog readers who have already viewed your writing have no other reason to visit your page.

  • Automate: Unless you’ve got a lot of free time to continually cross-post all content in multiple social media outlets, you should take a few steps to automate the process. My favorite tools for sharing content on a FB fan page are created by Involver. Aside from the premium services they offer, there are a wealth of free tools to greatly increase the functionality of your FB fan page.
  • Be human: One aspect of social media that is continually forgotten is the importance of presenting a human side to your company. When you get new fans, welcome them – on a regular basis. When people post discussion questions, answer them. You’ve opened a forum for your clients and customers. Most of us know better than to ignore a waiting room full of prospective clients, yet I frequently see pages and companies who fail to respond to clients online. If you can’t (or won’t) respond to your followers, don’t build the page. It will hurt you more than it will help you if you appear to ignore consumers.
  • Raid your archives: Content is king – so what to do if you don’t have any content to share? Don’t underestimate yourself. If you’ve got PowerPoint presentations, use slideshare.net and an RSS feed to leverage them on your FB page. If you’ve got screen captures of your interface in action, use them as photos in your fan page. And don’t forget to encourage your fans to submit their own content – blog posts about your company, images of your product in use, case studies, success stories, testimonials – online or not, we’re still taking the marketing basics and putting them to work for us.
  • Make a splash: If you’ve played around in Facebook long enough, you’re familiar with the alerts you receive whenever anyone does anything anywhere. The second your publish your fan page and become a fan of yourself, all your friends will know. Your message will spread virally. And that’s a good thing. But consider saving this one-time boost when you’ve got a big event on the horizon – a conference or trade show, a new product release, etc. Even if you don’t have something big coming up in the near future, take advantage of Facebook’s ability to delay publication while you get your ducks in a row. Post content so that your first viewers have something to read – you want to reward them for being first to the fan page and give them a reason to join and share your link.

If you haven’t already, consider getting to work on building your fan page. Once you’ve got one up and running, please post the link in the comments so we can take a look at your work and give you a little traffic – and possibly new fans. And check back next week when I take a look at five fan pages that are generating a buzz – I’ll present case studies so we can all learn some new tips and tricks.

    Great advice to follow on social networking with Facebook!

    This is an excellent article with outstanding advice for companies. Companies are doing incredibly creative and engaging things on Facebook, but there are also many companies that need help in understanding how to best leverage Facebook (and social media in general). You also provide some sensible (and intelligent) ways in which companies can and should reduce the amount of time and effort that a fan page requires to maintain.

    Along the lines of your 'automate' and 'raid your archives' tips, I'd recommend a new Facebook app released by LinkUp (which is part of JobDig) that allows companies to publish job listings from their company's career portal on their corporate website on to their corporate fan page on Facebook. Jobs can appear in a box on the company's Facebook Wall and/or in a separate Jobs tab on the Facebook page. All jobs link back to the specific listing on the company's website where job seekers can apply straight into the company's applicant tracking system (ATS). The app (called 'Current Jobs At Our Company') works automatically, as LinkUp's search engine indexes sites every day and makes all necessary changes automatically. It's a great Facebook app that allows companies to more effectively leverage the tremendous power of social media in their recruiting efforts.

While most companies don't have the brand cache of Pink or Coke, we all can learn about what facets of their success we can replicate by understanding how to provide value to the consumer (that's why the coupons from Sears work so well).

    I recently built a fan page and would like to get interaction from my fans. I don't want my content to appear to dry so I was wondering what other content to include. As far as the welcome, do you send out a welcome to each fan or is there some way to auto generate this?

    The purpose of the page is to attract customers who are interested in our products. Also, I want to attract potential business partners who are looking for an opportunity.

    Thanks so much for your page here. I'd appreciate any comments you have.

    Very cool tips! Below is a link to the fan page for an independent film we're working on called Lambent Fuse. It's an emerging Minnesota feature film propelled by a character-driven plot composed of intertwining events which play out in a nonlinear fashion. We're on the verge of releasing a massive promotion entitled 'The Blaze' early 2010 that will involve fans immensely.

  158. Just wanted to say thanks again for all of your comments. It's been great to see some pages and get some great ideas (yes, it goes both ways – I'm learning from you guys too). Thanks for helping to make this post so popular and sharing our links.
    While I've got your attention, I'd love your feedback: What's the most challenging aspect of building or running your own Facebook fan page? Send your questions to kelli@pixelpointpress.com and I'll try and answer them in our next posts.

  170. Just got my fan page rolling. There were problems while putting it together (now fixed), but I am really enjoying the process.

    I own an online pen store. I sell fine writing instruments (fountain pens, ballpoint pens and rollerballs) from such notable pen makers like Montblanc, Pilot, Visconti, Omas, Delta & Aurora.

    I would love it if you took a look at my fan page.
