17. 17. 2011 FATHOM RESEARCH, LLC 11/26/11 17For aspirational brands like fashion or cars, givingpeople an opportunity to let their imaginations takeover can make the brand Facebook page moreaccessible, allowing those who do not own one ofyour products (yet) to be part of the conversation.Are you taking a long-weekendroadtrip?

45. 45. 2011 FATHOM RESEARCH, LLC 11/26/11 45Interpersonal relationships are seldom built onone type of interaction; at different times we talkabout serious things, make jokes, have longconversations, or just say hi.Likewise, a solid relationship with customerscannot be built using the same type of posts all thetime, and not every post type is appropriate forevery brand. Those most successful on Facebookuse a variety of posts to keep content fresh andcapture fans attention.For example, Coca-Colas posts include directappeals to fans for likes, off-topic small talk, fill-in-the-blanks, and announcements about theircollaboration with the World Wild Life Federation.As you build your Facebook relationship strategy,test different approaches and monitor theirsuccess. Use Fathom to help you track which postsinspire the most responses and whether theseresponses are positive or negative.In summary, remember that Facebook engagement strategy is not onesize fits all.
