Let’s take a closer look on some marketing tips that you can easily apply to your Facebook page to boost your sales gradually.
1. Build good content
“Content is King” as it’s always something that bring customers to your Facebook page at the beginning.
Do you follow a page with posts impressed you at the first sight? Do you like a page which provides you useful information or a spam-my page with info that you don’t care?
If you are a Facebook seller, you need to firstly focus on your page’s content. But how to create good content which not only impresses your customers but also can promote your products and services? Just mix it up! Engage your audience with photos of not just your products, but of what excites or inspires you as a buyer. For example, videos can showcase how-to-makeup instructions for cosmetic stores.
Don’t have a video? Share your personal insights! Make your status updates relevant with news or innovative uses of your products. And don’t forget to include clickable links!

3. Selling without selling
None of your customers wants to hear about your products all the time. Therefore, what you really should be talking about (besides your product and its benefits) is helpful articles, behind-the-scene videos and relevant customer testimonials. You can also try to create a poll or competition, or even pose interesting questions and debate topics. This will help your business become more authoritative and trustworthy. Find the stories your customers are interested in and communicate more with them about these topics frequently.
Are you still wondering how this will help your E-commerce store?
The answer is simple. It will help building a strong relationship between you and your followers, as you always show your care, and share the same thoughts with them. Eventually trust will be built, you will be the one they find whenever there is a need.
