Marketing Tips for growing businesses

Yipes! Facebook is changing things again

1/16/2018

Facebook is 'moving the goalposts' again ... or maybe changing the yard lines.  Either way, if you are an organization that relies on a Facebook Page for marketing, the recent announcement sounds like bad news. 

The situation 
In 2017, many businesses were already seeing a downward trend in impressions, likes and overall reach on their Facebook pages.  Then just last week, Mark Zuckerberg announced that the goal of Facebook is now changing from helping you find relevant content to helping you find “meaningful social interactions.”
So instead of determining the ranking of posts based on reactions, comments, and shares, Facebook stated they will prioritize posts that “spark conversations and meaningful interactions between people".
Facebook also said:
“Pages may see their reach, video watch time and referral traffic decrease. The impact will vary from Page to Page, driven by factors including the type of content they produce and how people interact with it. Pages making posts that people generally don’t react to or comment on could see the biggest decreases in distribution. Pages whose posts prompt conversations between friends will see less of an effect.”
 
What to do now? 

1) Keep the conversation going. If your objective is engagement and your page regularly gets comments, reactions,  and shares – keep it up, you will probably not see too much change.
2) Try to increase engagement. If your posts normally don't get reactions or comments, you could try asking more questions, running a quiz, contest or sharing live video.

OR
​
3) Put a minimal amount of effort into the page, just enough to let visitors know you are still in business and go on to #3.
4) Diversify your efforts. Look at the other social media platforms; put more effort into those that appeal best to your target audience.
5) Explore other methods to promote your business. There are many ways to market; you may have options  that have gotten overshadowed by social media. Going through the market planning process can help you find new options and focus your promotional efforts.
