7 Facebook Ideas to Revive Your Sputtering Page
1. Change Your Cover Photo
Do you know what time it is?
Time for a new cover photo!
When was the last time you changed your Facebook cover photo?
The prominent image is the largest piece of real estate on Facebook & it's the 1st thing people notice when they visit your page.
Changing your cover photo gives your Facebook page a whole new look.
Use new cover photos to:
- Promote holidays & seasonal events
- Advertise specials & promotions
- Showcase customer testimonials
- Praise your fans
- Display new products or services
So take a cue from Fast Company & change your cover photo often.
2. Host a Facebook Contest or Giveaway
Facebook contests & giveaways are great ways to show appreciation for fans & find new ones.
Contests also work well for getting followers to re-engage with your page.
I LOVE contests!
Only winning twice hasn't stopped me from entering almost every one I see.
Hey, if you're not in it -- you can't win it, right?!

3. Recognize Your Fans
Recognizing your followers & asking them to interact with your page also helps boost engagement & build relationships with fans.
In exchange for a prize, ask fans to share photos of themselves using your product.
Share the photos on your page to show other Facebook users that your page is active & lots of people are interested in your company.
And it's easy to give fans a shout-out on your page.
Post a picture of them, or even better, change your cover photo to showcase your community.
It will build brand loyalty while humanizing your company at the same time.
4. Post a Variety of Content
If you're having trouble getting your fans to interact with your page, it’s probably time to take a long, hard look at your content.
Are you posting inspiring quotes, engaging questions, fill-in-the-blank posts & beautiful photos? Those work great for boosting engagement.
These tips could help jump-start your Facebook page:
- Humor
- Memes
- Behind-the-scenes shots
- Personal posts
- Videos

Ask your fans for suggestions about what they would like to see on your page.
Businesses often seek feedback from fans when making decisions about:
- New logos

- Book covers
- Book titles
This helps get fans to post comments on your page -- after all, everyone wants to share their opinion!

6. Host a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything)
Reddit AMAs are wildly popular. AMA stands for “Ask Me Anything”.
These events let participants pose questions to guests like Barack Obama & Bill Gates.
More businesses should host Reddit AMAs on Facebook. Invite influential guests from your industry & allow fans to pepper them with questions.
