Posting Statuses on the Wall

77. Tag other companies and people in your statuses for increased engagement and cross-promotion.

78. Reply to users’ comments and “likes” on your statuses.

79. Have a guest host. Have a celebrity, influencer or company executive take over your Facebook page for an hour or a day to interact directly with community members and answer their questions.

80. Ask for your community’s opinion - Talk about a question that was asked somewhere else (blog, Twitter, etc) and pose that to your Facebook audience.

81. Ask for your community’s ideas – Ask them what they would like to see in your next blog post, ebook, webinar, advertisement, event etc.

82. Tell the first part of a joke and let your community finish it. (Example: “Why did the chicken cross the road?....”)

83. Tell a riddle.

84. Ask a hypothetical question. (Example: “Would you rather ____?” “If you could _____”)

85. Share links to your blog posts on your wall, and use the status area to pull out one key fact, statistic or tip from the post as “teaser.”

86. Share a link to your weekly or monthly newsletter. Create a custom tab for signing up for an email newsletter with a tool like Shortstack. Make sure to keep the sign up form on the Facebook tab for higher conversion rates.

Photos

97. Use the top photo strip of your Facebook page in a creative way. Spell out a word for a particular campaign, make a cartoon by connecting the images or show unique headshots of employees.

Analytics
