Finding the "Goldilocks Zone" for Sucess on Facebook

On Tuesday, August 23rd I had the pleasure of sitting on on our webinar "How to Optimize Conversations on Facebook to Increase Your Social ROI" featuring Chad Estes, Vice President, Client Services at Vitrue.

If there is one real takeaway I learned from this webinar it is that there is no magical "right" answer for "When is the best time and day to post to your fans on Facebook?" In fact, as shown in the two slides below the optimal time to post can vary widely depending on what sort of brand you're representing.


The best way to find your optimal time and day? Try out different options, monitor responses, and see what works. What is "just right" for one brand may be all wrong for another.

Other takeaways from the presentation included:
  • Be wary of using automated publishers, Facebook has begun grouping posts by source and even subject, so using a publisher like Hootsuite may cause some posts to be missed.
  • A mix of deals or specials, exclusive content, conversational and informal content, and key events and announcements will provide maximum appeal for your audience
  • Attention spans are limited: Keep posts short and sweet, and include an image if possible!
  • Consider targeting your posts for greater impact

Today's marketing leaders have to be plugged in to sales, service, technology and every other division that interacts with consumers. Media fragmentation, accelerated product life cycles, widespread globalization, and punitive regulatory constraints have made the CMO's job very challenging. Traditional marketing practices are no longer effective in delivering a holistic experience for your customers OR significant ROI for your bottom line. A 360 degree perspective is required to fully grasp all of the data and tools that are being used, creatively and effectively, to better understand and communicate with your customers.

Fortunately, Internet based collaborative technologies and marketing analytics enable a convergence of data that paints an entirely new picture - one you can act on intelligently to move from fragmentation to integration. Find out how to leverage new strategies to overcome these challenges.

Join us to gain a deeper understanding of how to create a consistent, personalized experience for your customers. We'll discuss:
