Facebook is a widely used social media site that can be used for many purposes. There are almost 3 billion users monthly, with 1.9 billion of those users visiting daily. (https://backlinko.com/facebook-users). Whether it’s keeping up with your family members and friends or promoting yourself and your business, it’s very useful. Today I will be telling you all about how to make a Facebook page that will attract customers to your small (or large) business.
According to the book, The Essentials of Social Media Marketing, by Michelle Charello, the first
step to making an attractive Facebook page is likely the most important. It is developing
a profile and cover photo. These should convey either your mission statement or
the logo of your company. The next step is to provide a call to action for the customers.
Include an email, phone number, website or any other link to ensure that there
is a way to contact you and see what your business has to offer. Along these
same lines, you need to make sure to put a location and store hours, so customers
know where to find your product/service. Finally, you want to include a
description with essential information about your business. For example, we are
a cupcake shop selling unique weekly flavors, located in Avon, Ohio. This just
informs that customer what the business does.
In addition
to setting up a page for your business, you may want to check out Facebook
shops. This allows you to set up a free online store. You can link your Shopify
or Etsy account for example, to Facebook shops. This allows customers to visit
your shop directly and even purchase products without traveling to your physical
store. Another thing to consider is to ensure that all hours and information
about the business are up-to-date and the links work properly.
Your insight on creating a Facebook is great! I have tried creating aesthetic social media profiles, but without any luck. No matter how hard I try, my profile never looks as good as I hope! I may try to create an online store on Facebook, as I am planning on branching out from my baking business and creating a clothing line.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the best 1st step of creating a good Facebook page! First impressions are so important for you to decide whether keep looking at that page or not.
ReplyDeleteI thought Facebook is only for older generation of people, but I learned it's not true.
