Facebook Fan Friday – “Sharing is Caring”
Facebook Fan Friday. An idea by Rachel Haro of Mouthful Social Media: Jay Skowron, Rachel Haro, Criss Castle, Nancy Castonguay Simmons, Megan S Barto, James A. Ziegler and the Alpha Dames have been the driving force behind making FFF a reality.
The idea behind this is simple and fun to participate in, but effective. Business networking businesses. Vouching for another business is great word of mouth advertising, especially when done by an already reputable business. Individuals are also participating in helping spread the word about other businesses. Increasing potential likes and audience on the businesses’ social network.
In it’s third week, Toyota of Manhattan’s Social Media & Web Manager, Jason Schroeck took part in a “News Update” video from the rooftop of Toyota of Manhattan, joining the Alpha Dames Criss Castle in “The Middle of Nowhere” and Rachel Haro in San Francisco.
Here is a quick overview of the execution and ideas behind Facebook Fan Friday.
Employing the same networking principles as Twitter’s #FF, businesses are able to do the same on Facebook using Facebook Fan Friday.
Facebook Fan Friday mentions can be as simple as posting a brief comment and direct link (such as a Facebook @ tag) to the business, sharing their post, or for greater impact on optimization, creating and posting simple YouTube videos.
Some creative ways to participate in Facebook Fan Friday:
- Write a testimonial of services- include pictures and the link to their fan page. Tag them using the @ symbol!
- Record a YouTube video and share why you recommend them and post a link to their fan page. Be sure to include their company name in your YouTube tags!
- Write a brief post that explains your business is supporting local vendors and post their link.
- Post a photo of a special event or happening and tag them. Include a link to their fan page!
- Share one of their posts.
