It would give you a real-time picture of what your targeted audience is interested in and also gives you an insight on different ways to position your brand for higher recall.

This would help you create a relevant Ad set for targeting potential customers on Facebook.

2. Crafting and positioning your Content strategy: 

After defining your potential audience second step includes crafting a content strategy. Always follow the 80/20 rule for better results i.e, 80% content should be a value add to your audience and only 20% should be related to your product/service sales and/or presentation. 

Your content must educate and provide infotainment to your targeted audience. Your posts must be shareable. That means it must relate to your audience, be snack-able and informative. 

Select at-least 4 broad categories of content that you find related to your audience group and turn up as a source for it through your page.

A well defined Ad set and an effective content strategy ensures you get relevant messages delivered to targeted audience in routine hence making them more prone to accept your page like invite, ones they regularly start engaging with your posts.

To reach this goal of 1000+ Facebook fan page likes it is important that you become the entity that defines what those groups will chant and even talk about online. The most sure-shot way of doing that is creating and implementing a sound content curation strategy.
