In order to make people notice your business on Facebook you have to be active. Try to post content as often as possible, preferably at least once a day. Make sure that your content doesn’t only promote your business, but that it also provides your viewers with useful information. In addition, try to post content in various formats: blog articles, photos, videos, and audios, so that you have something for everyone.

No. 1: Make your account personal

A lot of brands have Facebook accounts, but not all of them have the same impact on consumers. In order to ensure that your Facebook followers actually take notice of what you have to offer, try to give your account a human touch. Don’t focus on just advertising your business and try to really connect with your audience. Share tidbits of life you find interesting – a joke, a photo, or an important event – and ask your followers to chime in. This will help you build relationships with your clientele that will only strengthen your business.
