Vitrue recently took a more in-depth look at how mobile users are engaging with Facebook in their white paper, “Social Mobile User Engagement: Analysis and Strategies for Successful Mobile User Engagement on Social Media Networks.”
Some interesting insights arose:
- Engagement with Facebook is on the rise, Likes and Comments continue to increase
- Image posts generate the most Comments via mobile devices
- Text and Image posts generate the most Likes
- Shorter posts perform best with mobile users
- Using punctuation in a post can have an adverse effect on the engagement level
- Likes and Comments increase during weeknight hours and weekend days
- Should posts include a link?
- Does page size (fan base) matter when including a link?
- What punctuation actually decreases user engagement?
- Is there an ideal post length? (There is!)
- What days are best to post for optimum user engagement?
- Focus on your core audience. Don’t spread yourself too thin.
- Keep your posts simple and straightforward. If it gets to be too much (in content or length), engagement will decrease.
- As in all marketing tactics… test, test, test! Find out from your audience what their preferences are based on performance.
