Fans who engage with your content signal a level of connection with your brand that is so rewarding that the recognition increases the brand's value for fans. Rewards demonstrate that you care and appreciate the crucial role your audiences play in your success.

Fortunately, doing all of this is not beyond your reach.

Here are ten creative ways to reward your Facebook fans so they feel engaged and appreciated:

1 – Show that their opinions matter.

Fans love a brand that values their opinion. When you're launching a new product, brainstorming ideas for a company event, or promoting a new cover you created last week, ask your audience for their feedback.

Whether it's a survey about an upcoming product launch or a phrase soliciting their thoughts, giving customers their own "voice" is sure to be the reward for their efforts in engaging with your brand. And that particular gesture will truly mean a lot to them.

Here are two creative ways to ask fans for your entry:

Opinion on shared content

Gather fan perspectives on something different from what you're trying to promote, or get their opinions on something new your company wants to try. For example, you could share a photo asking fans what they think about it: it could be an image of your product being used in a way never seen before.

You can create a voting via the Facebook app for this or use a third-party app like offerpop to encourage their fans to vote.

4 – Host an event that values the fans.

Fan appreciation events are a great way to show gratitude to your loyal fans. A creative example would be organizing some fun family games at a park, along with some prize contests, but the type of event you host will depend on your brand's budget. An event can be easily created with the Facebook Events app for business pages.

Tips for fans to spot the event invitation

Use suggestive images and videos: Select a cover image that is large enough and has some detail. A poster, a promotional flyer, or anything that prominently displays what will be on offer. You can even record a short video explaining what the event is about and post it on the event page.

Create excitement: Post images, comments, and written content about the event. Tag your most loyal fans using the @ function. Highlight what awaits fans attending the event, and remind people about the chosen location.

Promoting the event: A good idea to create buzz for your event is to promote it via AdEspresso or other similar tools. Taking advantage of precise targeting results in a higher click-through rate and allows fans to invite their close relatives and friends directly from the ad. Highlighting each fan's effort gives them a greater chance of winning.

5 - Have casual conversations

It's important to keep in mind that fans are people, not autonomous robots. They have their own schedules and Friday night dinner plans. Talk to them like normal people, have casual conversations, and have realistic expectations about what their response will be when you reward them.

Treat them with respect, even if they don't engage with the brand after receiving a reward. Simply be casual and show frequent social interaction to different fans, speaking as if you were chatting with a friend. Fans feel important when a brand takes the time to listen to their personal issues and daily routines.

Fans are highly valuable, so be sure to recognize them and enjoy a lasting impact on brand loyalty.
