Don’ts 

‍

#1. Don’t Use A Dummy Personality 

‍

A big, important part of online marketing is being authentic. If you’re tempted to use a dummy profile to protect your privacy, be aware that customers won’t be able to trust your brand if you don’t show them your face, so make sure that you present yourself as the person behind the brand. 

‍

#2. Don’t Over Post 

‍

Avoid posting beyond the recommended frequency. While you can get away with an additional post when you need to make an announcement or participate in a trending topic, posting too many times can put your audience off quickly. 

‍

#3. Don’t Argue With Unsatisfied Customers 

‍

Don’t reply with an angry comment to a rude customer, or when someone leaves you a low-score review. Simply reply in a professional matter and try to help fix their problem. 

‍

#4. Don’t Be Slow To Respond Or Engage 

‍

Facebook users expect a quick response to their comments and to the messages they send to your pages. Because of this, keep your notifications on and try to reply within the first hour. 

‍

#5. Don’t Go Over Budget 

‍

You won’t get better results simply by putting more money into your ad campaigns. Instead of going over budget, simply set up your campaigns correctly, optimize your ads, and wait for engagement to build. 

‍

#6. Don’t Target Too Broadly 

‍

If you’re tempted to target a broad audience in hopes of interacting with a large number of people, don’t. The larger the audience, the more people that will end up ignoring your ads. Simply target the people interested in what you have to offer, and you’ll do great! 

‍

#7. Don’t Over Promote 

‍

While the ultimate goal of your business is to make a profit, you can’t focus your marketing campaigns on driving sales or promoting your products. Instead, feed your audience with content that helps them solve their problems, and they’ll become customers. 

‍

#8. Don’t Ask Users To Like Or Engage With Your Ads 

‍

You have to make sure to add all the necessary information to your pages, including a description, your contact info, and your URLs. 

‍

#9. Don’t Spam 

‍

Don’t use Facebook pages or brand identity to go around sharing links on public groups, pages, and Messenger inboxes. 

‍

#10. Don’t Ignore The Facebook Terms and Conditions 

‍

Ignoring Facebook terms of use is an easy way to violate a rule, and get your account suspended without knowing why, so make sure to read it all before you run a marketing campaign, and before you create an ad.
