Facebook’s popularity with a broad demographic makes it one of the richest sources of social media leads out there. With just a few small improvements to the way you use this platform, you can bring in more qualified construction leads with less effort.
Three good tips
Here are three tips to help generate leads.
- Offer a freebie – The chances of someone calling you to schedule a consultation based on a Facebook post are slim, but social media is still an ideal place to start building relationships. To capture your fans’ email addresses, offer a free information product such as a checklist, resource list or white paper. Design your free offer with the goal of solving a specific problem for a specific type of client, such as commercial real estate investors or housing developers interested in environmental sustainability.
- Invest in ads – Facebook ads let you target precisely the audience you want based on demographics, interests, and behavior. If you want social media leads who enjoy sailing, have young children, and frequently organize events, you can find them. Instead of using one general ad, create multiple ads tailored to each type of client. Your prospects are more likely to respond to something that speaks directly to their needs. Invite them to take a specific action, such as downloading your free white paper or contacting you for a strategy session.
- Engage with your audience – Making a genuine effort to interact with your Facebook fans helps build a connection that encourages them to contact you when they’re ready to do business. Instead of bombarding your audience with promotional posts, create posts that offer real value. Keep your fans up to date on industry news, introduce them to new construction trends, offer insider tips, and direct them to useful tools. Ask open-ended questions about their challenges, goals and opinions, and invite conversation. When someone does reply, take the time to acknowledge them.
Whether you decide to start with ads or just more conversations, learning what works on Facebook is one of the most effective things you can do to bring in more social media leads.
