I just wanted to let you know about some really important changes for businesses using social media to market.
On January 11th, Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook would be changing its news feed algorithm to prioritise content from “friends, family and groups.”
“As we roll this out,” Zuckerberg wrote, “You’ll see less public content like posts from businesses, brands, and media. And the public content you see more will be held to the same standard—it should encourage meaningful interactions between people.”
What does this mean for business? in short a huge amount….It has never been more important to get a social strategy in place and adopt a strategy that works
How to continue reaching customers on Facebook
- Continue posting engaging, quality content that prompts comments
- But don’t fall into the “engagement-bait” trap
- Encourage customers to follow your Facebook Page
- Increase your ad budget
- Make more Facebook Live videos
- Invest time in Facebook Groups
