Hello,
I'm going to hopefully take my second entrepreneurial venture some time this (or next) year, and I'm looking to use Facebook/Twitter to break even. I will sell all of my products online, and I plan to schedule a release date for these products to come out, so that I can build up a huge amount of interest and potentially break even in a couple of days.. that's the plan.
So I need to market my Facebook and Twitter page so that I can get enough potential customers interested and 'liking' my page/following me on Twitter.
I've calculated that I'll need 90 sales to break even.. so let's say only 1% of all likers/followers make a sale, I will need 9000 people (which is doable) - let's say 10,000.
So then on the release date, my site opens up, 10,000 people are linked to my site, at least 90 people make a sale - I've broken even in as little as 24 hours?!
I was also considering placing incentives on the page, for e.g. 1000 likes/followers and you receive 5% off, 2000 likes/followers and everyone gets 10% off... and so on.
So my questions are:
- Could this work?
- How would I market my page? (could I comment on related pages from my page, suggest to friends etc?)
- How would I target my target consumers - my products are high-end, and I don't want people to expect my products to be cheap and then come release date they think they're too expensive etc.
- How could I increase the percentage of sales relative to number of likes/followers?
I hope you understand everything I've said! Any help would be appreciated. I'm not an affiliate marketer but I thought I'd come here for your expertise. Thanks again!!
