Useful Tips for Effective Facebook Marketing

January 7, 2013

Facebook has become the ultimate B2C social media marketing platform. It enables businesses to target their audience and create a community of brand ambassadors.

But exactly how should brands go about marketing on Facebook? Jon Loomer has come up with a useful checklist for Facebook marketing in 2013.

Here’s some tips especially worth highlighting:

1. Create a content plan. It will enable you bring about a coherent, comprehensive and convincing long-term image of your brand. A three or six month content plan will also reduce day to day stress of coming up with new content ideas. Instead, you’ll be able to focus to what really matters – engaging with your fans.

2. Create a monthly insights report. A monthly report will help you understand what kind of content your fans love and what is left ignored. Such insight will help optimise your future content and thus engage with your brand ambassadors more effectively.

3. Encourage check-ins. The demand for mobile-optimised content marketing is growing exponentially. If appropriate to your brand, check-ins will help you reach mobile fans who will gladly check-in and tell their friends about their loyalty to your brand.

The strategic implication for B2C and B2B is the same; distribution gets easier to buy, credibility gets harder to earn. Threads rewards coherence in public conversation, how you answer, how you sound, how specific you are. Treat it as a trust surface, because that’s where decisions get shaped now.

Feeds are getting tired of “perfect”. A lot of the most interesting work going into 2026 is reacting against hyper-digital polish with visuals that feel more handled: scanned textures, mismatched elements, collecting layouts, and deliberate “imperfections” that make the human hand visible again. That matters for social, because audiences clock…
