How to Solve the Biggest Problems with Your Facebook Page

How successful is your small business Facebook page? Is your page drawing customers in or turning them away? If you are missing out on the power of this popular social media site, it may be time to revisit your Facebook strategy. Here are some common page blunders and how you can refocus your efforts for better online success.

Problem #1: Your content is old and dated.
Solution: The best way to build reputability is by having a site with fresh, current content. If you haven’t posted for months, you ARE hurting your Facebook marketing efforts. If posting daily doesn’t work for you, find a schedule that does. This may mean only posting once a week or even bi-weekly. If all else fails, consider hiring a professional marketing consultant to post content for you.

Problem #2: Too many personal posts.
Solution: If you use your business Facebook page for personal use you may be turning away potential customers. A business page which includes personal anecdotes or content not related to the brand can turn off followers. If your Facebook profiles are currently co-mingled, you may want to consider a separation. Two profiles are your best bet.

Problem #3: Posting too much and too often.
Solution: While some businesses don’t post enough good content others post too much. They continuously flood their wall with constant updates and posts. It becomes overwhelming for your followers and makes it more difficult for them to separate out your important call-to-actions. While posting frequently is smart make sure that each post is significant to your overall marketing strategy.

    Grand Marketing Solutions has been very effective for us. They are the right size firm with the right mix of talents. They spruced up our logo, redesigned our web site, printed new literature, and worked smoothly with our people.
    - Bill
    Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

    We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
