Because of the wide network that Facebook, Twitter, etc. have, each time a follower likes your page; this activity is shared on their walls and appears on their news feed. This creates a domino effect as soon enough their other friends will then follow their activity gaining more likes and followers who can see and share your business page.
2. Pay and advertise in social media.
If you pay and use facebook advertising, your ad will be visible in the news feed of every Facebook user. This creates awareness about your business and the opportunity to visit and learn what brand you promote and what campaigns or promotions you have paid to advertise for. If you get people to become interested in knowing your brand, this equates to increase in sales and profit for your business’ advantage.
3. Constantly update your page with the latest promo deals and information.
If you don’t run out of deals, promotional gimmicks, update your account on a regular basis, this gives an impression of how sincere, diligent and dedicated you are and how you want your customers to know the latest news and happenings on your page. In turn, this will also encourage them to check your page on a regular basis; you also help build the loyalty and patronage of your possible and regular customers in the process.

Read their feedback and reply to them as much as you can, this way they know they are being heard and attended to like a customer who walks into a store and asks about how good the product or brand is.
