Did you know that more than 701,000 small businesses in Vietnam have increased revenue thanks to effective use of Facebook Fanpage? In the context of rapidly developing digitalization, creating and exploiting a Facebook Fanpage not only helps you reach your target customers but also builds a clear brand in the digital market. This is an essential tool for SMEs to compete and develop sustainably in the digital age.
From DPS.MEDIA's perspective, a consulting unit that has accompanied hundreds of SMEs in digital transformation and digital marketing, creating a Facebook fanpage can be easily done if you grasp the correct process and strategy. Creating a Fanpage is not just the first step but also opens up an entire ecosystem of advertising and multi-dimensional customer interaction, helping save costs and optimize marketing effectiveness.
Start with the most basic but core steps to ensure you build a Fanpage with the right goals and attract the right audience. With just one properly set up Fanpage, you have created a powerful online communication channel, helping your business reach thousands of potential customers every day.
Choose a fanpage name and identify the target audience
Choose a fanpage name that accurately reflects the brand and is easy to remember
Choosing a fanpage name is not just about picking a good name but must ensure it accurately reflects the core values and your business field. According to research from Facebook IQ, a short, easy-to-pronounce, and highly recognizable fanpage name will help customers find you more easily among millions of existing pages.
DPS.MEDIA Here are some important criteria to consider when naming:
- Avoid using special characters or hard-to-understand abbreviations.
- Clearly show the main field or product so customers can quickly recognize it.
- Ensure the name can be expanded for future development campaigns.
Clearly understand the target audience to help increase the effectiveness of the outreach strategy
Correctly identify the target audience as the foundation for designing content and effective marketing activities. For example, a fanpage for handmade products will have a completely different customer target compared to a fanpage selling technology equipment.
DPS.MEDIA's approach aiming to build customer personas (buyer persona) through:
- Age, gender, preferences, and online shopping behavior on social networks.
- The financial capacity and actual needs of customers.
- The language context of using products/services in daily life.
For example, with a beauty care fanpage, the target audience could be women aged 25-40 living in big cities, frequently using Facebook to search for beauty tips and quality products.
| Criteria | Example of applying a fanpage selling T-shirts |
|---|---|
| Fanpage name length | Under 25 characters, for example: “Stylish T-Shirts” |
| Target audience | Men and women aged 18-30, interested in street fashion |
| Identification | Matching the fanpage name with the website brand |
Set up basic information and optimize the introduction section
Filter and strategically set up basic information
The first thing when starting with an official Facebook fanpage is to fill in complete and accurate basic information such as name, category, address, and phone number. At DPS.MEDIA, we always emphasize choosing the appropriate category so that Facebook's algorithm can easily understand and distribute to the right target customers. According to the latest research from Facebook Business, 78% of users rely on the fanpage description to quickly evaluate a business before deciding to interact.
Therefore, pay attention to every small detail such as working hours and attached website links, as these are touchpoints that help build trust and professionalism for your fanpage.
Optimize the introduction section to create an impression and increase interaction
The introduction section should not be just a random text but needs to be constructed as a sincere and professional “greeting” to customers. A short, clear introduction containing relevant keywords helps your fanpage be more easily found through Facebook search.
Signs of an effective introduction section include:
- Content focused on the value you bring, instead of just listing products/services.
- Friendly language, appropriate to the industry context, showing deep understanding of customers.
- Integrating gentle calls to action (CTA) to encourage viewers to interact.
| Factors | Impact | Practical example |
|---|---|---|
| Choose the right category | More accurate distribution algorithm | A food fanpage should choose “Restaurant” or “Food & Beverage Service” |
| Introduction contains keywords | Increases findability in search | “Specializing in providing technology equipment for SMEs in Hanoi” |
| Gentle CTA | Stimulates natural interaction | “Follow to receive weekly promotions” |
Case study from DPS.MEDIA each implementation for a customer about soft skills training services for SMEs shows that optimizing the introduction section helped increase fanpage traffic by 35% in just 3 months, while also raising the interaction conversion rate up to 22%. This proves that even a small but scientifically invested part can create a big difference in digital marketing strategy.
Create attractive content suitable for the target customer group
Clearly understand the audience to create appropriate content
Researching target customer groups carefully helps you accurately know trends, preferences, and actual needs of customers. According to Nielsen's research (2023), personalized content increases interaction likelihood by 56% and retains customers on social networks. DPS.MEDIA believes that creating posts that are not only eye-catching but also convey the right message will effectively increase brand recognition.
For example, when targeting young customers (18-25 years old), you should use friendly language, creative images, short videos, memes, or close stories. Conversely, for the 30-45 age group, focusing on building valuable content and practical consulting solutions will be more effective.
Methods to build content that attracts and retains customers
- Create diversity in formats: combine posts, images, videos, livestreams, and interaction surveys.
- Content with practical value: share knowledge, experience, or small tips related to products/services.
- Brand storytelling: Develop a consistent story to help users feel close and empathetic.
- Leverage customer feedback: Turn reviews and testimonials into content that builds trust.
- Optimize posting time: Post at the right time during peak activity hours of the customer group.
| Content types | Main benefits | Real example |
|---|---|---|
| Short videos | Quickly attract attention, increase interaction | Product introduction or behind-the-scenes clips |
| Instructional posts | Provide value, build credibility | Guide on using services or useful tips |
| Livestream | Create real-time connection | Directly answer customer questions |
DPS.MEDIA experts comment: “The key to success on Facebook is not just the number of posts but lies in the quality and consistency in voice & tone.” Therefore, focusing on target customer groups and continuously adjusting content based on behavior and feedback will help Vietnamese SMEs build loyal communities and sustainable growth.
Use images and videos to increase natural interaction
Leverage the power of images and videos to attract viewers
Images and videos are not just decorative tools but also strong "emotional bridges" help your fanpage become more lively and closer to users.
Latest research from HubSpot shows that posts with videos generate 6 times more interaction than text-only content. For new fanpages, this is especially important when you need to quickly build a loyal follower community. DPS.MEDIA recommends you:
- Use high-quality short videos to tell brand stories or introduce products/services.
- Insert professionally designed images that align with brand orientation to increase recognition.
- Regularly update diverse content, avoid repeating image/video patterns that cause boredom.
Case study: The impact of video on SMEs' brands in Vietnam
DPS.MEDIA is honored to accompany a retail fashion business in Ho Chi Minh City to implement the “Storytelling Visual” campaign. After 3 months, the fanpage increased average interaction rate to 120%, including behind-the-scenes and live review videos that were extremely well received by users.
| Content types | Interaction rate (%) | Key highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Product videos | 85 | Attract and increase watch time |
| Professional images | 60 | Increase brand recognition |
| Behind-the-scenes videos | 75 | Create emotional connection with customers |
Our final note: Beautiful images/videos must always reflect your true value and message to create authenticity, thereby promoting natural and sustainable interaction instead of temporary effects.
Analyze operational effectiveness and adjust content strategy
Evaluate based on actual data and user behavior
Fanpage effectiveness cannot rely solely on perception but must be based on quantitative and qualitative data. DPS.MEDIA always emphasizes leveraging Facebook Insights and external analytics tools to monitor important metrics such as interaction rate, reach, and post watch time. According to Nielsen research (2022), brands that continuously measure will have up to 30% higher campaign effectiveness compared to those that do not measure. Therefore, content design must be flexible and updated based on this data to optimize interaction and maintain attraction.
Adjust content strategy based on feedback and new trends
No content strategy lasts forever without change. From practical case studies of Vietnamese SMEs, DPS.MEDIA found that regularly reviewing posts with low interaction to identify reasons – possibly posting time, unattractive images, or unclear content – helps businesses quickly adjust direction.
- Optimize content types: Example of converting long posts into short videos or infographics to help increase emotion and ease of remembrance.
- Change posting time: Based on potential customer behavior, for example, lunch break or evening usually receives positive feedback.
- Experiment with new formats: Frequently use Reels, Stories, or Live to expand interaction.
| Indicators | Meaning | Adjust recommendations |
|---|---|---|
| Interaction rate | Reflect user interest levels | Enhance interactive content such as questions, mini games |
| Coverage | Number of post viewers | Run ads targeting specific customer groups |
| Retention rate | Measure content attractiveness level | Create trending topics, quickly update new trends |
Nhu Mr. Nguyen Van Hau – Marketing Director of DPS.MEDIA shares: “A successful Facebook fanpage is not about high likes, but about the ability to build a loyal customer community through appropriate content and continuous improvement. That is the key to sustainable development.”
