What is Engagement and Why You Need to Improve Engagement
Engagement is any kind of interaction with your Facebook page or post: clicks, likes, shares, comments, tags, or even location check-ins. It shows how loyal your fans are to your brand and helps develop your business by extending the organic reach.
Engagement is one of the key metrics that measure your posts’ effectiveness and indicates that your business page is still appealing to your followers. It helps to boost your advertising power all across Facebook and beyond; it significantly saves advertising budget, improves brand awareness, trust, and affinity.
According to The Manifest, 74% of consumers follow brands on social media, and 96% of these consumers interact on social media with the brands they follow. People are more likely to purchase a brand they follow on Facebook (52%) than Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Twitter, LinkedIn, Snapchat, and Reddit combined (48%).
Basically, Engagement brings you fame and money. Inbox will help make sure that this is happening. Let’s dive a little deeper into details.
Ads Efficiency
A prompt and insightful response to ad comments can help elevate your brand image and increase lead opportunities. Marketers spend a lot of money on Facebook ads to create awareness about the brand and bring in more Engagement; Timely and high-quality communication will save your budget and reputation.
Brand Awareness and Trust
Brand awareness is the persons’ ability to identify or recall a business’s familiar aspects and its marketing items – product or service, style, logo, slogan, or a message. RedC research showed that customers start a vast majority of online searches (82%) with the brand they are familiar with.
High Engagement builds brand awareness and trust, which is a key factor in consumer buying behavior. When customers trust a brand, they’re more likely to make repeat purchases with little to no forethought. This turns trust into loyalty, which dramatically impacts conversion rates and can support long-term revenue growth. According to data from WorldStream, people buy 2x or even 3x times more from a brand they know.
