through Facebook by sending them invitations. Another method for promotion is to share your page directly on their timeline, although this could be perceived as being a bit invasive. Another excellent idea is to follow other businesses that may need your services in the future. If your content catches the attention of their staff members and matches their needs, they might contact you. Remember to focus on the quality of your interactions and not on the number of “Likes.” Essentially, it will be that the better the quality of your leads, the higher the probability of their conversion. 3. Create Valuable Content As mentioned before, Facebook can be an amazing tool for business growth, but you need to provide prospects something in return for their Likes and Shares. That something, of course, is quality content. Don’t use Facebook just you promote your construction company. Seeming like an overly aggressive salesperson is a sure way of driving prospects from your business. Instead, focus on educating your audience. Offer information about the latest trends, provide entertaining content, and seek to elicit curiosity about your business and projects. Make sure always to include relevant keywords and phrases which your prospects might look for when in need of your services. 4. Consider Facebook Advertising One of the best things about Facebook advertising is that it allows you to target your prospects with great accuracy. In that way, you can ensure that your message only gets to people who are most likely to respond to it and take action. Another advantage is that Facebook advertising won’t burn a hole in your wallet. Reports show that one click can cost you as little as $0.24. So, spending $50 on Facebook ads could yield as many as 208 clicks. 5. Keep Track of Your Performance Marketing via social media essentially comes down to trial and error. Nothing will work for everybody, especially with regard to certain industries. That’s why it’s important to test different types of content, days, hours, and so on to determine what best attracts the members of your intended audience. Then use the insights you collect to tweak and improve your strategy. Conclusion No matter what business you’re in, people expect you to be online. Although crowded and noisy, Facebook can still provide an excellent way for builders to market their companies. Due to its sheer size, this social network provides countless opportunities to interact with an audience, expand your reach, and grow your business. You just need to get smart about how you use this information platform. If you’re eager to boost your page and expand your reach, then you can try paid advertisement. AUGUST 2020 • DITCHMEN 23
