It is very simple and easy to create business pages and the good thing is that you don’t need to get extra information about it. But the real problem starts when you need to increase your Fanbase…. It can be a challenge! In this post, I’m going to share various ways through which you can increase your page’s fanbase.

Suggest Your Fan Page:

The very first step, after creating your page, you should take is to suggest your fan page to your Facebook friends.

Autograph Posts:

Autograph post is a great way through which you can gain more visibility for your business fan page. While writing on your friends wall or other fan pages add an “@ tag for your fan page.” But it should be done with great care and caution. Remember, DO NOT autograph competing business fan pages!

Interact with Your Fans:

Facebook has added a wonderful tool ‘Question’ in Facebook pages. Ask random or  business related questions from your fans. Remember, it can be very helpful as one single question reaches many people other than your fans. It can surely attract them to join your page. Plus, it helps you to know about your fans taste.

Link Twitter Account to Your Facebook Page:

Facebook has now given us a wonderful option to connect our Facebook fan page to our twitter accounts. The good thing about linking account is that it automatically posts your Facebook content to twitter. Connecting both accounts can be helpful in increasing our Fanbase as it attracts twitter followers to Facebook fan pages.

Facebook Fan Widgets:

Add your fan page links or widgets, profile badges etc in your websites or blogs to make your customers know the presence of your business on Facebook.

Be Regular:

If you really want to build your brand BIG then be regular in posting updates, be regular in responding to your fans’ comments and be regular in sharing related content. It will surely help you in getting more exposure.

Email Signature:

You can also promote your facebook business page by posting your page's link into your email as a signature.

Advertisment:

You can expose your page to 500+ million users by advertising it on Facebook. This is a great way through which you can increase your fanbase to the maximum, but of course it requires money.   

Run a Contest:

Running a contest is very helpful in increasing business page’s fanbase. Host competition on your page, ask your fans to tag their friends in your product pictures. Award the winner with any of your product or cash or any other gift in return, this will surely help you in increasing fanbase.

Print Media:

Print Media can also be helpful in increasing fanbase. You can give your Facebook Fan Page link into newsletters, magazines, ads, pamphlets etc.
