How to increase your Facebook followers
Six simple tactics to implement onto your Facebook page and grow your social media following.
How will this Quick Win help me and my business?
Facebook has come a long way since its inception in 2004, with over 1.6 billion active users today. What was once predominantly a community for sharing photos and keeping in touch with friends has now become a platform for people to connect, distribute opinion, conduct research, and keep up with what is going on in the world.
Consumers are no longer only influenced by what a brand says about its products. Instead, purchase decisions are made by what others are saying within their online community. This Quick Win will explain six simple tactics that you can adopt and begin using on your branded Facebook page to increase your followers. You’ll get a list of actionable points to help you think about content, working with influencers, and generally improve engagement with your community.
