“Why aren’t they buying from me?” If you’re new at marketing you have probably asked this question to yourself a few times. Then this will be followed by thoughts like “Is my product not good enough? Have I put myself in a position I can’t handle? Is there something I’m not doing correctly?” And believe me, the list of questions go on and on.
This can get really frustrating, and it will make you overthink, and overlook. Wait what? Overlook what? Overlook the other factors why they’re not buying what you sell.
So, let’s not waste all your efforts and the amount of money and time you’ve invested in your business. Let’s not let it reach to a point of tears. Because trust me, when you read this, you will not rest till you get those sales up!
Let us talk about Why Customers’ Don’t Buy from You?
They are not aware of your product.
Consumers cannot purchase products they are not aware of. If you are marketing, but consumers still don’t know about your product it may be time to evaluate why it’s not working. Are you targeting the right market with your message? Is your message reaching those that would have an interest in your product? It’s important to remember that the solution is not always more marketing, because the problem may lie with where you are marketing at, and what marketing vehicles you are using.They don’t understand the benefits of your product.
Consumers don’t buy products solely based on price. Now, this does not mean that they don’t factor in price, they do. Consumers buy based on the benefits your product brings them. If you asked your customers what the benefits of your product are, would they know? This is important. Your marketing must be centered on the benefits of your product in order for consumers to take an interest in purchasing your product. Create a list of the top three benefits of your product and use those in your marketing message.They don’t feel your product has perceived value.
Consumers will not buy products that they perceive as having no value. Why should customers value your product? You can use the benefits of your product to create a perceived value and it is that perceived value that helps in the sales of your product. If a customer cannot see the value they will simply pass your product by. You must create that perceived value in your marketing message.They don’t see how your product meets their needs.
We’ve talked about benefits and perceived value, now let’s talk about needs. Do consumers know how your product meets their needs? Does it make their life easier, save them time, make them feel better? What need does your product satisfy? You have to tell consumers that, don’t make them guess or come up with the answer on their own tell them and help educate them on why they need your product.Your product is not accessible to them.
Consumers cannot buy what is not available to them. If they hear about your product but it is not accessible, forget it. Consumers want to ease in obtaining and using your product. How can you make your product more accessible to them? Is it putting it in different locations? Distributing your product different? Perhaps it’s offering your product online. Evaluate the accessibility of your product and see if you need to make changes.
Here’s a video by YouTuber Victor Antonio on How to Close a Sale. In here he’s given the reasons why customers don’t buy by using an acronym M.T.N.U.T. Watch the video to know what the acronym means!

With 1.7 Billion active users, Facebook is definitely upping their game yearly. Facebook initially started out as being one of the fastest ways to reconnect to the people you haven’t talked to for ages. Now, Facebook has become so flexible that you can do anything with it. You can connect and organize events, start your online business, and even get famous!
Getting viral has become a trend, and one of the easiest ways to earn money. I’ve seen it everywhere, I mean in every authority page – they create videos that make them go viral. But starting and creating the actual videos is hard. And you have no assurance as to whether or not it will become viral.
So, here’s 10 Facebook Marketing Tips for 2017 provided by Cave Social and Social Media Today.
Get Comfortable With Shooting Video
Video on Facebook accounts for just 0.9% of all posts. Here’s the crazy thing about that: these same 0.9% of posts account for 7.15% of all reach on the network. And that number is growing.
Video posts are dominating social media, with Facebook emerging as YouTube’s largest contender for video uploads. If you haven’t started marketing with video on Facebook, now’s the time to begin.
We’re seeing huge reach in industries across the board. You don’t need to be a professional videographer to capitalize on this either – all you need is a smart phone, some good lighting, and maybe a few goodies from Amazon. Here’s a step by step guide to shooting pro quality video on your mobile phone.
- Set Up Saved Audiences
Saved Audiences can be extremely useful – especially if you want to target a specific market.
Within Facebook’s Business Manager, you can create custom audiences based on set parameters. This enables you to advertise to specific groups of people, making sure that your niche content meets the right demographic.
For example, we recently wrote an article that was specific to mortgage lenders – not, by any means, the bulk of our Facebook fans. By creating a Saved Audience, we were able to target a group of mortgage lenders within the USA who were also interested in marketing with our niche piece of content. This drew the right audience to our content, drumming up business for our company and eyeballs on our brand.
Test it out for yourself – it’s 100% free to set up, so you can see how large your audience is before you start paying for advertisements.
- Try Your Hand at Retargeting
If you own a business and you have a website, you absolutely must start a retargeting campaign – it’s one of the most profitable forms of advertising online.
In a nutshell, retargeting enables you to advertise to people who’ve already visited your website. All you have to do is install Facebook’s tracking pixel on your website, and wait for visitors to roll in.
- Add Captioning to Your Videos
Facebook recently announced that they’re expanding access to their automated video captioning tool to all users, but we’re slightly skeptical of this option.
YouTube has similar software, and to be honest, it’s pretty bad.
And here’s the thing: your captioning matters. 90% of viewers on Facebook watch videos without sound, meaning that your captions are going to be read by a majority of your viewers. Either add the captions yourself or do what we do: hire someone on Fiverr to do it for you. For about five bucks you’ll get an accurate SRT file that you can upload to Facebook in a couple of clicks.
- Add a Call To Action on Your Page
Facebook added this functionality and every page owner should take advantage.
On your Facebook Business Page, you can add a call to action that sits in the bottom right-hand corner of your cover photo. These buttons make it easy for your fans to get in touch with your business – don’t miss out on some extra site traffic.
- Upload Your Email List
If you have a large e-mail list, you need to upload it to Facebook. Once it’s finished loading, you’ll be able to advertise to every single e-mail that’s associated with a Facebook account.
Similar to retargeting, this practice is great because it enables you to utilize multiple touch points with your potential customers. Take advantage of their past interest in your brand, and try running a Like or engagement campaign to encourage them to interact with you on social media.
The more ways you can reach your audience, the better.
- Be Responsive To Messages
There’s more and more evidence indicating that Facebook is calculating response time into their algorithm, so be sure to respond to messages. Your response time will also be live on your page, so fans will be able to see how quickly you interact with them.
When I gave my Social Media Predictions for 2017, one of the main points of focus was on the adoption of Messenger for business. At Cave, we’re seeing B2C interaction moving towards social messaging in great numbers this year, so be sure to buck the trend and respond as quickly as possible.
- Embed Your Facebook Content
If you see a good fit to sneak your Facebook content into a blog post (or anywhere else online), I highly recommend you take advantage of the opportunity.
Mixing together different forms of content is a great way to create more touch points with your potential customers.
Facebook also makes it easy to embed content – just click in the upper right-hand corner of your post, copy, and paste (you can see a real world example of this tip in point nine below)
- Shoot Live Video
Video production is going to be a major theme for social media in 2017, and live video, in particular, is going to grow greatly.
Don’t get us wrong – you need to be able to master staged video first, but once you get the hang of it, stepping in front of the camera and shooting live has a ton of advantages.
The most important reason to test out live video is the increased reach. Live videos get a boost in Facebook’s algorithm, giving you a push into more and more people’s feeds.
- Have Fun
I say this every year, and 2017 will be no exception.
You need to be social on social media. It’s not a soap box, it was built so that individuals around the world could connect with one another.
If you’re having doubts about creating videos for Facebook, but you have the creativity and you know your story can sell – we’ll be here to support you. As the saying goes, “you’ll never know unless you try,“ so how about starting now eh?
