7 Reasons to be a Facebook Fan!

· ·

NB This is a sponsored post.

It used to be called being a “Facebook Fan” – these days it’s known as “following”. So why would anybody want to follow brands or companies on Facebook?

As it happens, I actually manage a couple of Facebook pages for other businesses (in addition to my own for Middle Aged Mama), so I know the benefits inside out … here are my top 7 reasons why it’s a great idea to make sure you are following your favourite brands on Facebook.

7 Reasons to be a Facebook Fan

  • 1. Competitions – Brands/companies often run competitions on their Facebook pages, giving their followers a chance to win some great prizes.
  • 2. Saving Money – By following your favourite brand or store, you will be among the first to know about any great discounts or specials they are having! And who doesn’t love saving money?!
  • 3. In the Know – As a loyal and devoted Facebook “fan” or follower, you will be “in the know” – you’ll find out about their latest products and events.
  • 4. Top Tips – Facebook pages will often share helpful tips on how you can get more from their products, and use them in ways you have never thought of! For example – did you know there are about 101 uses for Vaseline Petroleum Jelly?! Well, you would if you followed the Vaseline Australia Facebook page – including this great beauty tip:

  • 5. Get Inspired – The brands behind Facebook pages know that their followers like to be inspired, cheered and amused. So no doubt you will find plenty of inspirational quotes and pictures on your fave brand’s Facebook page!
  • 6. Feedback & Reviews – A Facebook brand page is a great place to find out what others are saying about the company and product, as you read through the comments and feedback left by other users.
  • 7. Belonging – There is an innate desire in all of us to belong, to “find our tribe” – and following your favourite brand on Facebook means you are part of an online community with a common interest or passion.

So tell me your favourite brand pages that you follow on Facebook, so I can check them out too!

  1. My favourite pages are for blogs like yours and others that you probably already like too. Other than that they’re Karen Carpenter/Carpenters fan pages.

    I can’t help thinking that putting Vaseline on my eye lashes wouldn’t end well. I keep thinking of what it was used for in Puberty Blues. I wonder if that makes the list of 101 things…ahem…

  2. You might need to give some tips on your blog about how to manage a Facebook page Janet. I manage my own but find it time consuming. In regards to Vaseline, there are plenty of uses both in beauty and practical applications, even in plumbing where it’s quite useful.

  3. Well obviously mine is high up on my list 😉 http://facebook.com/allmumsaid .
    I love Mystery Case (it’s a blog also. She features great brands and discoveries around Perth), get wines direct (for obvious reasons and they have great sales), The Husband Chronicles (they constantly post hilarious stuff). And your page of course 🙂
