Should Facebook be part of your mHealth Social Media Marketing?
If you provide an end-user mHealth app, Facebook could be a go to social media network for you. On the other hand, if you provide enterprise B2B health IT products and services, Facebook might hold limited value for you.
Regardless of who your buyer personas are, having an effective Facebook Business Page sets the stage for marketing success on Facebook.
Facebook is the king of Social Media networks. Currently, it has 1.1 billion users. It’s the premier network for Business to Consumer brands and marketing, and can offer some value for B2B marketing efforts too. In fact, some marketers are dismissing Facebook as a B2B marketing tactic.
While Facebook may have questions, especially for B2B, it’s tough to ignore the numbers. The keys are realistic expectations, efficiency, and not wasting time on Facebook. Think of Facebook as a placeholder network. Grab your spece and make it public. Use Facebook to test content. If it gets any traction, consider spending more time and resources to engage on Facebook.
