What are welcome posts on Facebook pages?

Welcome posts on Facebook posts are posts that you create specifically for people who didn’t like your Facebook page yet and are not following you.

Welcome to my Facebook page post ideas

If you want your Facebook page welcome posts to convert visitors to Facebook page followers, here are some ideas you should use to be able to write a well-converting welcome post:

1.      Welcome the Facebook page visitor

First, of course, welcome the new Facebook page visitor, but keep it short. So start your welcome post with something like:

‘Welcome to the XYZ Facebook page, ‘ but then right away:

2.      Ask for the following. And ask for it at least twice

Ask for the Facebook page visitor to like/follow the Facebook page right at the beginning the post.

If you have a longer welcome to my Facebook page post, then also add the ‘follow us’ call to action at the end of the post

3.      Give some reasons why they should follow your Facebook page

Give some reasons why it is worth following your Facebook page. Keep it short, but make it convincing. Some ideas:

  • you share some exclusive content only on the Facebook page
  • get discounts that are not promoted anywhere else
  • get new product updates

4.      Use a picture or a gif

The easiest way to make the welcome post stand out is to add a picture or gif that is eye-catching. You can also add text to the picture where you highlight the message of the welcome post.

5.      Format the posts

Format the welcome post the right way. You should add some space between sentences, bold the most sentences and also strive to write shorter sentences.
