Lead Generation on Facebook
If you have ever tried to get informations about your site visitors you
know that people don't like when a website ask them to type a name,
email, home address, phone number etc. Buti f you use facebook in your
business, you don't need to get these informations, because facebook
store these data from everybody. This is one use of Facebook that many
people do not make use of. Facebook has a lot of information about its
users, and this information is made available to others depending on the
privacy level that the users specify. Whenever they use their Facebook
ID to log into your site, (if you install this facility of course),
Facebook will make available to you as much information as the user has
in his or her public profile.
This means that when it comes to savvy
people who are aware of how Facebook works, you may well only get
general information like email addresses. Email addresses are useful
tool considering that the email address on Facebook will mostly be
genuine. When it comes to users who are either not knowledgeable enough
about the different privacy settings in Facebook or are just not
bothered enough, you can get much more information from Facebook. So you
will know some extra information about your visitors and customers and
you don't need to do much just use facebook.
This can help you not
only generate more leads for your ad campaign but also target it to
specific niches based on the information that you get from Facebook. For
example, if you are selling fitness equipment, you will probably be
able to target your campaign to those people whose profile lists
anything related to fitness as their hobbies. Not only is the campaign
going to be much cheaper, it is also going to be much more effective,
because you will never be able to target the audience in such a focused
manner anywhere else. So you can help people much easier and make more
money (much easier) than ever before.
As mentioned, the amount of
information that is made available to you by Facebook depends on the
users themselves, so there is always the chance that users will not make
much information available to you. Yet, this method is still effective
because you will get the basic information that you know is at least
accurate and not outdated. So most likely you can reach your visitors
and customers after a few months or a year and you don't need to do
anything.
This facet of Facebook is even more useful when you
consider the kind of business you deal in. If your business is local in
nature, you can focus your search to a particular geographic area so
that you know that any leads generated would be useful. This is much
better than spending time on worldwide customers who are not going to
benefit your business in any way. Integrate facebook to your site and
you can generate leads easier than ever before.
