Why Use Facebook for B2B?

Many think only business-to-consumer (B2C) companies do well on Facebook, but that is not the case. Business-to-Business (B2B) companies can connect with customers via Facebook.  

Here are 5 aspects of successful B2B companies on Facebook. 

1. Company Culture

On Facebook you can give potential customers a glimpse of your employees.  Pictures of your employees enjoying downtime together will give your customers a better look into who you are as a company.  Let your company's personality shine through your Facebook posts.

Another way for potential customers to get a glimpse into your company culture is to allow reviews.  Positive feedback is great for your business and constructive criticism is great feedback.  Engourage your current customers to write a review on your Facebook wall.

2. Content and Engagement 

Create visual content that customers want to share by understanding your audience.  Cisco, a technology company in San Jose, California, created this content.

This content is not only up to date with a national day, but asks a questions and encourages engagement.  The more people that find your content pleasing to the eye, the more people that will share it so their friends can also see it.  Being a technology company, Cisco also plays into what most of their audience would like to see with their take on National Hug Day. 

3. Videos

4.  Brand 

Whenever you make a post, remember to include your company logo on the name.  Have an idea of what you want your posts to look like and try and stick with it.

5. Ask a Question

Questions increase engagement of customers.  Ask questions that your customers are compelled to answer.  Questions can be directly or indirectly related to your field.
