Including Viral Content:

Let us take an example of a grocery store and how it used Facebook to its advantage. Earlier photography was prohibited inside the store but it turned out that instead of competitors, customers took most photos. Sharing of such photos on Facebook did a lot of good for the company. Additionally, adding content on the social profile that has already gone viral is a good marketing move, especially if such content relates to brand identity of the company.

Reduce Promotional Content:

It is better to keep outright promotional content to about 20% and mix it up with other content such as friendly greetings or various shares from all around the world. You may also notice that colorful and vivid images in Facebook posts get better response, as compared to in-store displays.

Facebook is an important marketing medium and businesses have to utilize it properly. By having a good plan of action, companies can expect significant growth in their business. On Facebook interaction with people is the most important part and every business needs to have the right strategy to reach their customer base on the social network.
