Facebook: Attracting and Engaging with Your Target Audience



With over 2 billion users, Facebook is the biggest social media platform in the world-- which 
is why so many startup and business owners use Facebook for social media marketing. That 
means a lot of competition! The best way to boost your marketing potential is to hire a 
professional, like the social media experts at PRDA. As Asia’s first and top social media 
agency, our experts provide your complete solution for Social Media Management, including 
setting up custom social media profiles on your preferred social media sites (Facebook, 
Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, Sina Weibo, LinkedIn, etc). Setting up your business account on 
Facebook can be complicated, as Facebook's constantly changing algorithms can make it 
tough for followers to see your posts on their newsfeed. But if you know what you’re doing 
and want to target a specific customer base, Facebook can be your businesses best friend.

Once your Facebook page has been created, the real challenge begins-- attracting and 
engaging your target customer base. Here are 4 tips for attracting followers on Facebook:


Know your target audience or customer base
If you try to focus on every demographic, then you will not succeed-- you will wind up 
throwing good money away. All of your content should be focused with a specific group of 
people in mind. Of all the social media platforms, Facebook has excellent targeting tools that 
can help you target people of specific ages, locations and interests.

Update your website and social media accounts on a regular basis.
Potential customers can easily tell if your content is updated or not. Websites and social 
media profiles that are not frequently updated will not attract followers. Avoid posting in 
bursts-- ie several posts in 1 day and then nothing for the rest of the week. It’s usually best to 
post 1-3 messages on a daily basis-- depending on the platform.

Keep your social media profiles interesting
Don’t try to sell your product or service on every post-- your audience won't respond well and 
you won’t attract many followers, ie potential customers. For every sales post try to post 1-2 
posts that are light-hearted, inspirational or fun. Share videos or articles that relate to your 
business and/or celebrate business milestones, like your first 1,000 followers.  

Use Facebook tracking and analytics tools
Facebook offers insights and analytics on how your content is performing. Use these tools to 
improve your content-- what is engaging and attracting your target audience? Reuse and 
refine the social media strategies that are most successful.
