10 tips to activate your facebook page fans

1. Ask your fans to ‘like’ a post for a fun reason (keep it on brand) and get ready to add the term “like baiting†to your vernacular.
2. Give your fans a common goal by rewarding them for reaching a “Like milestoneâ€. Even if what you are unlocking isn’t “special†people appreciate it more when it is given as a “rewardâ€.
3. Post abold statement and let your fans discuss amongst themselves whether or not they agree. We’ve seen a greater response than simply asking people to share their opinion with no prompt.
4. “This vs. That†is a quick way to poll your fans on their preference for something product related. Use this as a simple market research tool for your brand or just stir up conversation.
5. People are more likely to engage with a post that spells out very easily what is wanted from them. A ‘Fill in the Blanks‘ post requires little effort and sees a big uptake from the easily distracted Facebook user.
6. Facebook users love to play with anything that gives them social context and have fun with their friends. A ‘Friend Tagger‘ is a image that lets people tag their friends to that image. Encourage users to download and re-publish these themselves.
7. A simple way to inject a genuine feeling of community into your Facebook Page is to award a “Featured Fanâ€. It’s a simple way to showcase your advocates and encourages others to be more involved. It also gives a “human†edge to the personality of the page!
8. Don’t neglect the opportunity you have to control the first impression of your brand on Facebook! Yourdefault landingtabpage will see a greater conversion of fans if you just tell them what to do. If this isn’t enticing enough for you try locking content or offers behind the ‘like’.
9. Facebook puts a lot of restrictions on how you can use the wall, but there’s nothing that says you can’t make a giant sandwich! Think about how you canplay games with the Facebook platform. Personal pages allow even more fun!
10. If they were good enough for the Renaissance then why not your Facebook wall? Post3 images to a gallery in sequence for a simple trick.
