Facebook Timeline Changes: How Social Media Management Services Keep Your Page Engaging

Friday, May 25th, 2012

If you haven’t heard, Facebook is testing out more new features to its Timeline design. The major social network is looking to enhance the experience of Facebook users more than ever before.

In the new changes, there will be more details on user profiles such as name, education, location and occupation appearing all on top of the cover photo rather than below it.

There will be a summary section that highlights the main events of users’ profiles.

But the biggest news is that Facebook now has its very own camera app. This app will let users take photos, add filters, crop images, tilt images, and share them on Facebook.

Here are just a few branding tips to use to keep up with Facebook Timeline changes:

Take Advantage of Images

On your business’ Facebook fan page, images are a big focus. You can take this opportunity to show fans what goes on behind the scenes to make your brand more accessible while showing off an attractive personality for your brand.

Make Sure You Highlight and Pin Your Best Posts

When you highlight or pin your posts, you can grab the attention of fans better. You can highlight by selecting the star icon on the top right corner of any post on your timeline. This will make the post go across the width of your page.

As for the pin to the top option, this will extend the life of your content. When you pin something on your timeline, it makes it the first item seen on your page and can stay up for at least an entire week.

Boost Engagement With Contests

Use your cover photo to help promote contests on your business page. Facebook fans love to win things and will be more likely to actively participate on page through comments, and reviewing and sharing your content.

Adventure Web Productions can keep your business page up to date and engaging, with our social media management services. Read about the advantages of social media management services by clicking here.

In today’s global market, your business needs to create strategies that tie customer experience with technology that can deliver the right content at the right time to them. It is no secret. Social media is a great tool to help your business stay relevant in a forever increasing digital world.

On social networks consumers ask questions, give feedback, share information and connect with one another. They use social networks so much that they inevitably personalize their experiences with business products and services. They become deeply engaged in the brands they buy and support, on and off social networks.

For example, the social influence on social networks is so powerful that one consumer will support your business just because one or more of their social connections supports your business. To profit from this interaction your business needs to use social space to dictate to consumers when and where they can interact with your products and services.

Speak to customers and potential customers on social media and deliver valuable content to them at all times. This will help you generate value with consumers.

How Creating A Mobile Version Of Your Website Can Benefit Your Business

Friday, April 20th, 2012

More and more consumers are reviewing business products and services through Internet searches on their mobile devices – from mobile phones to iPads.

When consumers look up your business and services online, you do not want them to go to a business competitor to serve their needs all because your website was not readable from their mobile devices.

There is a solution. You can create a mobile version of your business website to successfully gain business leads from consumers surfing the Internet through their mobile devices.

This article will tell you how to use a mobile website to benefit your business. Start reading to learn about the benefits a business mobile website can provide to you.

The Benefits of A Business Mobile Website

When your business website is transformed into a mobile website, your business can be easily discovered when people search products and services on their mobile devices. This is called mobile website optimization. The transformation automatically gives you more visitors to your site that you can convert into live customers because you have a mobile version of your website.

When business websites are not mobile optimized, not only do they look terrible being viewed from a mobile device but also the standard Internet search will not allow consumers to find what they are looking to find. In other words, searches will be put off and consumers will click away from your site to find what they believe are better sources for needs and wants.

Social Media Marketing: How To Gain Leads And Not Just Followers

Thursday, March 29th, 2012

What is more important to your business – followers or leads? Often in social media marketing businesses become so consumed with how many friends/fans/ followers they have on social media that they forget the most important aspect of social media marketing is converting those friends/fans/ followers into leads. To put it short, your social profiles function as touch points for your business to engage and interact with your target audience – they are not a final destination for your Internet presence. Your final destination on the Internet is your website that provides information about your products and services.

This article will provide you information on how to attract leads and not just followers to your website and business.

Yes, social media is a great way to build relationships with old, new, and potential customers but your website needs to be used to convince them to buy your products and services. Your social media is the appetizer. Your website is the main dish.

You want strong content on your website because you want to make sure the visitors to your website have reason to return to your products and services, not simply “Like”, “+1”, “Retweet” and “Repin” and be done with your brand. You want your business to be valued.

You can convert followers to leads by combining social media marketing with search engine optimization (SEO). This integration of both Internet marketing campaigns will make a more cohesive marketing strategy.

For example, SEO keywords will increase your Google ranking for your website. The more valuable your keywords, the more leads will come to your website, products and services. SEO keywords can also be used on your social media profiles to help draw in leads to your website.

With the right call-to-actions, lead form, and placing of your social media buttons, your business and website can gain the following and leads you desire. It just takes the right Internet marketing strategy. Adventure Web Productions is here to help you get there.

The Benefits of Managed Web Hosting

Friday, March 9th, 2012

Are you looking for a good web host? If yes, there are a few factors you need to consider when searching and selecting a good web host.

The following information on web hosting will help you select the right web host for your business:

Decide How Much You Can Afford To Spend

Depending on your business needs, there are many web host options you can choose. If you know how much storage you will need, this can help you estimate on your price range affordability. Usually it takes 5 to 25 megabytes for a small to medium sized site to function.

Make sure you decide on a web domain name that will reflect your business name. If your business name is not available for your domain, pick something close to it with your business category. You also need to decide how much bandwidth your site needs.

A reliable web host will provide you a server and make sure the DNS System is working effectively.
