We have been spending a lot of time working our Facebook Apartment Marketing Strategy for Urbane Apartments, our boutique apartment management business. Our Urbane Life Facebook page is starting to grow nicely. We had our biggest gains last month in a number of different metrics;
- (546) New “Likes” in May
- (8,733) Active Users in May
- (155,343) Post Views in May
- (384) Post Feedback Posts in May
We are just under (3,000) Fans, and while we are working on expanding that number, we are keeping our eye on the interactions numbers. We did a lot of different things in May to help drive engagement.
Apartment Availability on our Facebook Page
We also set up an iFrame, that feeds our apartment availability, which is our highest traffic page on our web site, directly into our facebook page, labeled Apt Availability. You can see it here. It works pretty slick. The prospect can see our availability, the unit pictures from Flickr and any You Tube Videos of the unit we have listed.
Using iframes in Page Tabs
Many useful applications have been built for Facebook Pages. You can build your Page Tab apps using iframes rather than FBML. This means you can now build apps that run across Facebook (including Pages and Canvas applications) using the same simple, standards-based web programming model (HTML, JavaScript, and CSS). In addition, you can easily integrate plugins and the Graph API within your tab.
