So, you’ve decided to use Facebook as your main website? Or at least, you have seen the potential benefits of taking advantage of Facebook to communicate with your customers and potential customers? That is a great move! Facebook is a very basic, but effective way of getting in touch with your customers.
Well, here’s a tip you may have missed out… If you aren’t using photos to improve your Facebook page, you are definitely a step behind a lot of your competition. Want to advance now? Easy, pull out a camera and take photos.
Okay, so it may not seem that easy to just take photos and upload, but that is the idea here. You don’t have to spend a lot more money to ensure that you get more hits to your FB page. You can simply use photography as your basic tool to get more hits into the community.
Taking photos is relatively easy, but taking professional photos is another science. You can take either path for enhancing your Facebook page. You want to use photographs to showcase the brand that you are promoting, and use it as a means to promote your website faster and better.
Why? Interesting photos get people engaged. There are several ways to go about it, you can use these photos as an extension to your brand, and you can also use these photos to attract other people. I won’t get into the details of it all, but you’re basically using photos get people more interested and keep them on your page longer.
I mean, when you go on Facebook, what are you more likely to do - read a contact’s notes or look at your acquaintance’s latest album that is about some family reunion taken in so and so’s house? I would think that most of you would chose the latter, even though it may not seem as interesting as reading another’s ideas on a certain topic. It doesn’t matter what your business is. If you’re promoting a special for cheap laptops, you could have photos of actual users engaging with your brand of laptops. If you’re promoting an annual special event, use engaging photos from last year’s event. Here you can see how the Kansas City Irish Festival has done just done that.
But that is the basic truth of it all. Photos do get a lot of hits on Facebook, and hey, while you’re on it and advertising your business, why not get on the wagon already? Who knows, maybe your friend’s friend’s mother will see the photo, and find a connection to it and post it. Definitely more hits your way is good, right? This allows you to cover a lot more base than you originally expected, and more hits could almost directly translate to more business.
Here are 6 great tips that you should take a look at, which will give a little more detail in specific ways to use your photos on your Facebook page.
