As you probably know, Facebook is one of the most widely used social networking sites on the internet, with more than 800 million members. Because there are so many individuals active there, it is also one of the best social media marketing tools out there. The techniques for Facebook marketing are limitless, but the one great use we're going to explore is scheduling a massage online.

Facebook is a Terrific Marketing Tool

Using Facebook in the form of a marketing device is successful since it allows you to put your marketing communications where your current and potential clients are. To accomplish this, you must develop a business/fan page on Facebook. Once the business page is created, you need current and prospective clients to "like" the page. You can do this in numerous ways, such as a free product drawing for those who like the page, or maybe just requesting visitors to like the page. Although, the most successful technique to attract prospects to your page is by providing original, interesting content that potential and current clients won't be able to find anywhere else on the web.

Integrating Schedulicity with Facebook

Once you've created your Facebook business page and have begun to develop a number of fans, you need to convert those prospects into clients. Enabling people to book a session directly on your business page is an effective way to do exactly that. Schedulicity offers an online scheduling app that incorporates seamlessly with a business page.

Benefits for You, the Business Owner

An important key in internet marketing is to always reduce the steps from acquiring a prospect's desire and asking the prospect to take action. There will be some amount of abandonment for every click in between the prospect's readiness to purchase and the checkout button. Placing a 'Schedule Now' app in your fan page eliminates the requirement for a client to click through to your web site or call you to schedule a session, meaning an increased percentage of transforming prospects to clients.

Benefits for Your Clients

Providing your clients the opportunity to schedule a session through Facebook provides the benefit of convenience. After your discount offer or story of interest shows up in their news feed, just one mouse click will land them on your fan page. There, they are able to book an appointment via Schedulicity's Facebook widget. The service allows them to schedule a session 24/7, reducing voicemails and phone tag.

Scheduling App Installation

Installation of the 'Schedule Now' button is very straightforward, and requires no technical skills whatsoever. This video will show you how you can include Schedulicity with your business page in just a few easy steps.
