Don’t Let Business Fans on Facebook UN-FRIEND You
Top Reasons for Facebook UN-FRIENDING.
It's happened to the best of us. We log into our Facebook accounts only to find the number of friends and/or business page fans has shrunk.
It's not a nice feeling to see that number go down. So, what gives? What prompts people to hit the "unfriend" button?
A student from the University of Colorado Business School believes he may have the answer.
Christopher Sibona surveyed more than 1,500 Facebook users on Twitter and found that the top reason for unfriending is "frequent, unimportant posts."
In other words, repetitive IRRELEVANT POSTS will not win you any points on Facebook.
“The 100th post about your favorite band is no longer interesting,” says Sibona.
Other reasons people unfriend others on Facebook include:
- Too many posts about topics like religion and politics.
- Inappropriate posts, such as rude or racist comments.
- Offline behavior, such as an arguments or bad business deals.
Sibona adds, "They say not to talk about religion or politics at office parties and the same thing is true online."
The full results of this Facebook study will not be published until January. But, as the world waits, Facebook users can take stock in the preliminary findings which suggest PEOPLE WANT VALUE.
Stay relevant. Stay interesting. Give your Facebook friends and Business Page fans posts that will keep them coming back for more - and bringing more friends and fans with them.
