Good impression matters
The most important thing about running a fanpage on social media is to gain the trust of your audience. Post interesting photos, creative content etc. It depends on you if you treat is really seriously, or have fun with it, but remember that the more work you put into it, the better results you get.

Call to action
It is probably the most essential thing about Facebook. It has an impact not only on you, but also on the whole fanpage.

Discounts for your fans
If you run an online shop, it would be a great idea to offer your audience a discount. Special promo codes or discounts for the people who follow your page are a great way to increase your reach. It is up to you how many of them you organize and what kind of products will be featured.
Fans’ support
Your target group is a real asset. They can make your page come up higher in search results. If you want them to help you, ask them to review your product, give you feedback etc. You can also ask them to send you a picture of them wearing an item from your merch line. Give them shoutouts, publish fanart, encourage them to be a part of the community you’ve created.
Talk to your fans
Don’t forget that your followers need attention. Talk to them in the comments about different topics you can relate to. From time to time, there will be some negative comments. Read them, but if they are offensive, don’t let them get to you. Do not remove them, as there is one simple rule to life: if they don’t criticize you, then you accomplished nothing. Also, you can use critique to improve your work and give your audience a better experience.
Integrate your social media

Show your different side
