work, and they’ll click” Brain Carter, 2016

‘Facebook users aren’t in a business frame of mind when logging into Facebook’

Audience: Research (Mosaic)

Content

Page 23: B2B Facebook Strategy Masterclass - B2B Marketing Expo

Why content is important for Facebook• Without quality content any activity on

Facebook will fail. • The aim of your content – both visual and

text is to not only stand out on the newsfeed but to move the user towards some sort of action.

• What you need to remember is that users interact differently on social than they do on other channel. So never duplicate content to Facebook, always create bespoke, snackable and visually impactful content.

Page 24: B2B Facebook Strategy Masterclass - B2B Marketing Expo

Content: B2B doesn’t mean boring to boring We create a bespoke Content Marketing Strategy that builds from the Keyphrase

Research and the Technical SEO, whilst retaining the message, tone and style of the external campaign

We use a range of tactics to create On Page, Off Page, Content collateral and Outreach – here are some examples carried out for other clients:

How to create excellent content: Leverage your communityUse your community to:

• Capture ideas and problems your potential prospects may have through ‘social listening’

• Leverage peer recommendations for content

Page 27: B2B Facebook Strategy Masterclass - B2B Marketing Expo

Writing the perfect postIf you think about how someone consumers social media posts, it’s quick, visual and often through mid scroll. For example only 6% of social media users read copy word for word. This means your copy has to be short, succinct but also compelling and focused on driving the user towards an action.

When composing your posts consider:

• What am I trying to stay?• What words will express it? • How can I convince someone to take action?• Would I click or interact if I saw this post?

Distribution

Page 32: B2B Facebook Strategy Masterclass - B2B Marketing Expo

Distribution ProcessBefore distributing you need to determine:• What is the objective of this piece of content? • Who is the audience of this content? • What does success look like?• How do the above 4 questions impact on the timing, tone of voice, frequency,

imagery, channel and call to action?

Page 33: B2B Facebook Strategy Masterclass - B2B Marketing Expo

Social Media Posting Check ListAll activity will require:• Shortened, trackable utm links • Correctly sized imagery or URL card• Compelling copy and objective driven call to

actions• Scheduled in time and day for posting• Agreed KPI

Page 34: B2B Facebook Strategy Masterclass - B2B Marketing Expo

How do I find the best time to post?

Page 35: B2B Facebook Strategy Masterclass - B2B Marketing Expo

How to keep timing optimisedBest times to post should consistently be monitored and adapted ever quarter. Tools such as Facebook Insights and Likeanalyzer can help identify active audience times, however it is key a test and learn approach is adopted. • Post a few minutes after the hour to allow for scheduled posts by other

business to be distributed• Consider the time of day and the action you would like the user to take. Users

will be more likely to click and read articles during commutes or evening • Consider second screening particularly on Twitter. If there is a key sporting,

national or TV event Twitter noise will increase making your message a lot harder to be seen

Page 40: B2B Facebook Strategy Masterclass - B2B Marketing Expo

What you should track• When setting KPIs, think about

context. For example tracking impressions doesn’t mean anything unless the quality is quantified with other metrics such as interactions, clicks and bounce rate.

• Each metric you track should quantify your starting objective.

• If you’re running Facebook advertising you should always integrate Conversion Pixels.

Facebook Advertising

Page 45: B2B Facebook Strategy Masterclass - B2B Marketing Expo

Facebook Advertising • One of the many benefits of

Facebook advertising is that you can now target job titles, industry's and employers.

• If you have a broad target audience we recommend using narrow audience and exclude people to ensure you are reaching the right types of users

Page 46: B2B Facebook Strategy Masterclass - B2B Marketing Expo

Ad Types

attain customer’s data• Reduced cost per lead • Respond to leads in real time

Facebook Lead Ads

shown interest in a number of different offerings• Promote different areas / strengths of your busi-

ness• Drive lower cost per click than single image ads• Allows you to A/B test a range of content in one ad

Page 49: B2B Facebook Strategy Masterclass - B2B Marketing Expo

How to include Facebook advertising in your digital strategy• Your Facebook paid and organic strategy

should be separate in terms of the content promoted. But joined up on messaging

• Utilise your paid Facebook strategy in conjunction with your Adwords approach, considering which stage the customer will see and engage with your ads

• Use Facebook’s hyper targeted audience to start collecting & segmenting data in Google Analytics for potential expansion to Google network

Live Video

Page 51: B2B Facebook Strategy Masterclass - B2B Marketing Expo

Facebook Live

“…in 2019, video will account for over 80% of the world’s internet traffic and almost a million minutes of video will be shared every second.”

The Benefits: • Facebook’s News Feed puts emphasis

on live streaming• People are automatically notified –

unless they proactively opt out• No need for expensive production

costs• The visibility

Page 52: B2B Facebook Strategy Masterclass - B2B Marketing Expo

How to include Facebook Live in your social media strategyFacebook Live can be great way to deliver Q&As and informative seminars that drive thought leadership and bring personality to your business.

• Tell fans when you're going to broadcast. Create a "30-minute warning" post to tease your broadcast.

• Ask viewers to subscribe and receive notifications of future broadcasts.• Write a compelling headline (aka show title) before going live. "Join Us On

Facebook Live!" is not a compelling title. Be specific.• Make sure you have a strong internet connection. You don't want your

broadcast to suddenly quit because of a bad WiFi signal. • Establish a schedule so that viewers know when to expect your broadcasts.
