7 Steps To Grow Fans - Make your Facebook and Social Media pages work for you
02 December, 2011


 

More Fans – More Interactions – More Sales. 

Why do we want more fans? 

Every time a fan comments, “likes” or interacts with your fan page it is broadcasted to the News Feed of all of their Facebook Friends. Lots of interactions will signal to Facebook that this is important information and it will be included on a fan’s News Feed. Each fan can have hundreds or even thousands of Friends. If only 10 of your fans interact with an event notice, photo, video or simple text type message, that information can show up on thousands of peoples Facebook News Feeds — and can be furthered shared with multiple levels of additional friends. This is how your information, special offer or call to action, can go “viral” spreading quickly to many people.

Seven Ways to Grow Your Facebook Fans

1.  Have multiple influential users invite all of their friends to become fans of the page.  If you can get 20 people each to invite 100 users, and encourage these users to invite their own friends, your fans will quickly grow.  Use incentives if necessary – contests, rewards for joining, etc.

2. Leverage your other online resources including email lists, websites, blogs and any other place you have a digital presence.  Start to call them to action to join your fan page.  Add Facebook links to the homepage of your websites, add a link in employee emails, place links in your email and newsletter marketing. The key is to funnel enough subscribers to the page where a natural cycle of growth begins by virtue of more people becoming fans.

3. Leverage your “offline” media. Include promotions and calls to action in your printed advertising, brochures, press releases and telephone messages.

4. Make special announcements on Facebook first creating a place for the most up-to-date information.

5. Offer “exclusive to Facebook Fans” discounts and invitations.This can be done with coupon codes, mentions in your tasting room or business or using QR codes or matrix barcodes.  (To get a free QR code for your business, contact us.)

6. Consider targeted Facebook and Google advertising. This can give your page a quick boost of fans. Targeted ads focus on your potential customers.

7. Continually update page content. More content on the page is going to be more content for users to interact with.  Users’ consistently engaging with fresh content is the key component to growth.  By reaching into the news streams of individual users your brand can start to grow fast if your content is worth reacting to.

“CWA is the best value for tasting room promotion on the Internet. 

It is easy to navigate and we have already seen great response.”

“Yesterday, we have a delightful group of guests visit us from South Dakota.  They had traveled up and down the California Coast and had done most of their wine research on California Winery Advisor.com.  They chose Morovino as their stop in Avila because of the reviews and the “advisor favorite” designation.  Our total sales to that group will cover the cost of our advertising on California Winery Advisor for the next couple of years.  Yippee!”

-Andrea Bradford, Morovino Wines, July 2009

“Barrie Cleveland is the mastermind behind the California Winery Advisor website. Through his website I have tons of inquiries to visit our winery…”

-Jaime Glenn, Marketing Director, Villa San-Juliette

I just want to say that your presentation yesterday was great - just the right amount of information, and very positive about how it will benefit us.  I still have some of our managers talking to me about it today.  They were charged up.

- Phil Davis, Director of Marketing, Twin Pine

“Their website drives the customer to our tasting room and then the sales seminar refines how we present our product – making the California Winery Advisor one of the best advertising buys around.”

- Jennifer Salisbury Rucks, Salisbury Vineyards

“The CWA tasting room sales training is an incredible value and was appreciated by our new staff as well as our seasoned veterans. The exit interviews were very useful.”

- Rotta Winery

We are very pleased being associated with CaliforniaWineryAdvisor.com and appreciate your support.

-Susan West, Jada Vineyards & Winery

“Working with CWA was a great experience for our event and organization. Between the various web postings, banner ads, and itineraries, we saw a significant increase in traffic to our site. This was a GREAT way to cross promote our events and CWA will be on the top of our list for future promotions.”
