Pros & Cons of Organic Facebook Marketing


The term organic marketing is known as a process of gaining loyal customers in a natural way and through over a long period of time. This method does not involve any paid marketing strategy. It significantly reduces the cost of marketing by showing a plethora of contents and attracting customers.

Now, on Facebook, the process of providing the users a huge amount of content from which the potential customers can pay attention to the content they can relate to is known as Organic Facebook Marketing. It works as the users are shown your advertisements as well as directed to your page, this distribution is non-paid and doesn’t work on a paid structure. This method brings into play another crucial term into play i.e. reach. Reach is the number of people one can reach out to at a single time with his advertisement. Reach factor is highly responsible for the number of people who engage with your content. If the content is good and innovative then the reach will be greater and you can get a lot of traffic from it.

Then again, often we see that one produces a unique idea of advertisement with good content to promote his brand organically but with Facebook filters working to tailor make every Ad experience, the reach is affected in a large scale. Hence marketing organically doesn’t only require the content to be great but also the process needs to be channelized in such a way that the advertisements are tailor-made for every. This way the reach will be greater through your content.

Demerits of Organic Facebook Marketing

Why is it that after telling everything good that we come down to the minus points of any topic? Because like everything in this world there’s a flip side to organic marketing as well.
·         Now let’s face it, there is more advertising content than there is space in the news feed. We need to understand that there is only a limited amount of space in a person’s news feed. Roughly there about 30 billion pieces of content are being created every month and we need to more space on the news feed to project our brand.

·         Facebook provides the most relevant Ads in a person’s news feed, as a result, it is very difficult to reach out to new customers who have a different taste and as a result a very different viewing history.
·         The advertiser count on Facebook has exceeded 4 million, hence the competition is massive to make it through the filters of Facebook and to be projected in News Feeds.

Broadly these are the reasons that are responsible for the decline of Organic Marketing that has forced the entrepreneurs to promote their brands through a paid structure of the advertisement.

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Adopt what is right.....

I see that many people of my age group adopt certain western cultures. School students and college goers are often seen buying friendship bands and valentine cards. I feel its not right. You may think I am traditional and don't keep up to date views. But if you think a little maturely you will find out its not modern to wear friendship bands. Its rather pure pride. Now as I am talking about western culture I should tell you that I'm not against it in fact I find some of the western values very much followable like dignity of work, civic sense, accountability etc. We have to maturely decide what to adopt from the westerners and what not to adopt. Why should we go after them when we have a culture of such great versatility? -Priya Joyce
