How to Use These Facebook Goals in Your Marketing Plan

Donna Ward

When I used to start thinking about Facebook goals and a marketing plan…

My motivation would start to lag. Because I knew the ‘What’ and ‘How’ but didn’t have a plan to put in place to bridge the gap of where I was in my journey to where I wanted to be.

Have you ever felt like this, too?

I didn’t know what my plan of action was. I knew what I needed to do and did that. But, this always made me feel like it really wasn’t getting me there. And it seemed to take soooo long to start moving forward. I just wasn’t ‘getting it’.

If you’ve ever been waiting for that ‘ah-ha’ moment? Then I think you know what I mean.

A big  “ah-ha” moment that made a huge difference was when one of my mentors showed me how to put all of my marketing efforts into growing my Facebook group. Now I had a purpose and a plan was coming together.

 

It seems one of your first Facebook goals for your page is to build more engagement.

But why?

This one I know the why of: So that you can grow your business, grow your prospects, and grow your income

When you know that your plan (strategy) is engagement and paying attention to the analytics of what your audience likes, it starts to bring excitement and a new understanding.

Engagement in Email Marketing

Donna Ward

We’ve all heard it, right? Engage your audience, online, and offline.

But, what is engagement in email marketing?

The big question I’ve heard is, does your audience really want to engage with your brand the same way they would a friend. That is being social and sharing experiences. This is why you really need to understand more about your targeted audience.

  • Open rate – doesn’t mean they are reading and engaging with your brand.
  • Click rate – a more reliable metric.
  • Conversion rate – is thought to be the ultimate objective for your business.

How to Use Content Marketing to Influence Engagement

Donna Ward

You’ve heard it before…Content marketing to influence your ideal audience is the fuel to social media.

For that reason…

Marketers are always thinking about how to get their ideal clients to engage with their content online.

Your audience can’t know what you do and how you can solve their problems until…

You know your audience so well that you can offer practical solutions. because you understand what is driving them.

  • That means you need to explore what’s in their heart, not just their head.
  • Walk in their shoes and get more curious about the solutions you could offer.

Content marketing to influence engagement is you having a conversation about the real outcomes they would like to see.
