# Investigate About Your Customers

The central idea behind inbound marketing is to optimize your website in such a way that it will appeal to your potential customers. In order to do that, you need to know who your potential customers are.

In our last post, we shared the step by step guide to know your customers to master marketing. Here is a quick revision:

  • Market Research
  • Talk to your salespersons and customer service agents
  • Regular Customer Surveys
  • Use of Social Media
  • Talking to Your Customers
# Create Compelling Content

Google loves content and so do the audience. Nothing can work better than creating an engaging content on your site. The easiest way to do this is to focus on problems and create content that will help to solve that problem.

# Build Brand Engagement 

Inbound marketing channels such as blogs and social media encourage two-way conversation. The option to post comments and give opinion leads to meaningful conversation and discussion. These feedbacks also help to learn and understand the audience.

# Build Website Traffic

Content is the only way to get a potential audience to the website as content is easily found. Providing valuable and relevant content gives people a reason to share your content across social networks so it’s seen by friends, colleagues, and followers. 

# Convert Traffic to Customers

Now that you have a traffic to your site, you need to build a strong relationship to turn that traffic into potential customers. Talk (share videos, PPT’s and Infographics) about the benefits offered by your company, new content, promotions and special deals.

#Measure Results Regularly

Inbound marketing is actually very effective, but to see how well it works for your business, you need to measure your results regularly. Keep track on revenues, traffic, leads, ROI and conversions over the time, so you can improve your strategy if needed.

Having a desire to understand what your customers actually need can go a long way in creating a strong relationship with them.

Facebook Marketing Strategy and Remarketing Ideas

If you are new to Facebook marketing or your current  Facebook marketing or Remarketing strategies are not working, you are at the right. We have a  collection of tips and pointers to rule over Facebook advertising and marketing.  Every website has different types of consumers and  you need to  segment them properly in order to benefit your Facebook marketing strategy.

We’ll start off with the basic strategies of Facebook Marketing and Remarketing ideas:

1. Create Posts At Non-Peak Times

Whenever someone visits Facebook, there can be 1,000 potential stories on an average to see from the people they are friends with or from liked or followed Pages. A majority of these posts are published during the day the times between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. ET.

A Facebook strategy to beat the noise is to Post at non-peak times. 

Suggested:
•    7:00 a.m.
•    11:00 p.m.

2.    Post repeatedly– five to six times a day

With the increase in Facebook postings chances of increase in total clicks and engagement also escalate. A greater volume of updates, even if those updates hold steady with engagement, will lead to more total interactions via simple addition. More posts equate to more of everything.

3.    Target Audience Wisely

Targeting potential customers is the rule that works for all the forms of advertising: Make strategy and try to reach people who are interested in your product or service.

Then tell your story.

4.    Optimize Your Facebook Ads

You can spend a lot of time changing, tweaking and testing your ads and often this is time well spent.
 But, there are some basic guidelines that are good to follow.
Do’s
•    Use of proper grammar and punctuation
•    Share images, videos or Gif’s to make it more interesting
•    Call –to-action always works
•    Talk about facts

Dont’s
•    Capitalize all letters or have all in lower case
•    Use too generic photos.

5.     Lastly, it’s all about conversions

Like any other kind of marketing, advertising, Facebook Ads should also be measured with ROI. Because you need results from each individual ad. Facebook will not show what ad generated what sale.
The solution for this is to work with a conversion tracking service that tracks every unique ad you create and register every sale.

We have delivered a healthy dose of effective Facebook marketing and advertising. Hope these ideas will work for you.
