Increase Your Facebook Fans Using AddressTwo in 10 Minutes or Less

Over the last few weeks I have been struggling with the fact that AddressTwo has several thousand users and yet we only have just a handful of Facebook fans.  I have tried everything; targeted emails to customers saying things like "Hey! Like Us on Facebook and We'll Like You Back!," or including our Facebook links in our monthly newsletters.  Yet, every time I would only see our Facebook fan number grow but a few likes.  Until I discovered, in ten minutes, a great way to use our Simple CRM and a few simple Facebook features, to add more than twenty new Facebook fans to our page.

Grow Your Facebook Fans with AddressTwo

Step #1

Log into your AddressTwo account and run a query on who you want to be your fans.  Personally I ran a query where I was the account manager and the people I wanted to fan us were my personal customers of A2.  Then hit search.

Step #2

Once your query is ran you will come up with your search results.  To the right at the top of your AddressTwo screen click on use this list.  From that drop down menu select Export CSV.  Your CSV will be downloaded to your computer.  

Step #3

Open up your CSV file and do just a bit of cleaning up.  The only fields you need to import into facebook will be First Name, Last Name, and Email Address.  Delete the extra columns (Red), keep the other columns (Green.)

You should be left with a CSV file that looks like this.

                                   

Step #4

Save this file as a CSV file on your desktop.

Step #5

Go to your facebook fan page for your business and look to the top right and click on "Build Audience."  A drop down menu will appear click on the link that says Import Contacts.

Step #6

A pop out window will appear that says "Invite Email Contacts." Select Upload contact list file, click on Invite Contacts.

Step #7

Next will come a window that says to choose a file.  Select the CSV file that you just saved to your desktop.

Step #8: Select Your Contacts

In this screen you will be able to review who you are sending this invite out to.  You can review and check them off one by one (see arrow on the right) or you can select all contacts you have imported by clicking the box at the top left of your screen (see arrow on the top.)  Once you have selected who is going to get this invite you will want to click on preview invitation at the bottom right.

Step #9: Preview Your Message

Here is where you will see what the message your contacts will receive.  Take note of how many people you are sending the message to at the top.  Then at the bottom right click send.

#10: Keep an Eye on Your Stats

You'll see in a little over 10 minutes my Facebook likes for AddressTwo have grown 23 Likes!
