Week 5: Facebook Post Reach vs. Engagement

It is all about sharing a message.  

Simply put, on Facebook, Post Reach is how many people see (view) your post. 

 

Taking this one step further, Post Engagement is how people interact with your post.  This includes, clicking on the post to read more, adding a comment, like the post and the golden gift—a share (letting others in their FB network learn about your post), for an exponential increase in reach!

 

The difference between reach and engagement is important as the later can multiply the number of  people learning about your Facebook page.  It would be quite useful to think about what your posts are about and how the reach and engagement differ between posts.  Then one can use what works best and repeat it.  This is all free, not paid ads.

 

Facebook Insights apply to paid advertising to reach specific market segments.  Then one would reach exactly whom they want and there is little waste (reaching more and untargeted people than you really need to).  From the insights, you can also gain an idea of how large the target segments are.  You can also choose different geographies or targets to start and add others in to test your messages or vary them for different markets.

 

I had the pleasure of viewing and commented on the following classmates' Facebook pages:


Kelly Zimbelmann

Heather Williams

Karin O’Brien

Casey Judge

Isabella Brown


I would like to learn more about how to add a questionnaire, appointment bookings and videos.


I am looking forward to posting more info on my Facebook page and seeing what others are up to!

Week 1A:  Let's get blogging This is my first go at creating a blog and posting to it so that you will be interested in reading it and coming back for more information.  Therefore, let’s start at the beginning; choosing a theme to entice you.   Here are the reasons I chose the Notable theme:   1.      This theme is  notable  as an extension of my personality, primarily striving for organized minimalism.  I want to present you with information to quickly  grasp without clutter on your screen.  As a fellow achiever, I’d like to help you comfortably reach your goal of grasping all the information in one full swoop.     2.     This theme is  notable   for a purposeful format with one section of text with one photo.  You can chose to digest each morsel by reading the text or by looking a picture (quietly speaking a thousand words).   Once I learn how to format the phot...

Week 14 Facebook Insight Analysis

Facebook Insights for Aztec Brewing Company:     In the last 28 days, 7 % less people were reached by Facebook.  Yet, the audience you are trying to reach is more engaged—up 33%!  The page likes are down 33%, perhaps as new guests were nearly impossible to achieve with the varying laws of restaurant openings.   Mobile has always been dominant for Facebook, yet about 30% are now on computers as many people are home.   Regarding the top reaching posts, it looks like a trend of types of beer offerings and hours.  Perhaps the highest reach was also when the Brewery was open.     How interesting that there is little disparity between days of the week when fans are online.  No doubt that people have more time all week to go online.  Wow, they are on all day from about 8:30 AM to about 9:30.  The reactions and comments look like they have been higher around the Election, Veterans Day and Thanksgiving...

Week 15: My Marketing Strategy Post One

  I feel that for the consumer, Facebook and Instagram are best to start with.     At least on FB I can control a paid audience.     Also, FB is the correct age demographic for my products.     I am most excited about Facebook as I understand it and there can be great interaction.     I can also make it a resource and inspirational platform for patients at all stages through their journey.     I am also diving more into graphic design and look forward to incorporating it in my communications!     My calling for sure!   I would like to try a contest combined with a survey to see what products my customer base is interested in.  I think there is a way to upload a customer email list and reach them (paid, I believe).  It sure would also be a way to gain likes.  I feel it would be best to have a library of meaningful posts first in this oversaturated world.  I also very much like th...
