A Simple Way to Increase Likes on Facebook!

Getting “likes” for your Facebook page is huge. The more fans your business page has, the more opportunity you have to interact with current and future patients and the more ability you have to reach a wider audience. You need at least 25 likes in order to get a vanity URL on Facebook. (A vanity URL is a web address that can be your business name instead of a long string of numbers and letters.) If your patients don’t know that you have a Facebook page, it may be difficult to do this.

Roadside Multimedia recommends you to add “Like us on Facebook!” to your email signature. This simple line can convert a large number of fans to your page, especially if you send email blasts to your patients, your friends, and your family.  An important thing to remember is to make sure the line links to your Facebook page.

I will outline how exactly to add a signature and make it a hyperlink to your page in Gmail and Outlook.

Gmail:

1. Sign into your Gmail account
2. Clink on the Settings wheel at the top right hand corner of the Gmail page.
3. Scroll down to the Signature box, put in your signature and underneath  “Like us on Facebook!”.
4. Highlight the “Like us on Facebook!” There will be a button at the top of the signature box that resembles XX.  Click on this button and in the web address section type in the URL to your Facebook Page.
5. Click Save Changes.

Outlook:

1. Select Tools under Options from Outlook’s main menu.
2. Go to the Mail Format tab, click Signature under Signatures.

6. Write your signature under Edit Signature with “Like us on Facebook!” underneath.
