4 Tips For Selling From Your Facebook Page

Social media has become the preferred marketing of many small business owners, and with more than 750 million users on Facebook returning to the site daily, its easy to see why! Here are 4 tips for getting started selling from your Facebook page:

1. Get “Fans” to Like Your Page If you want to sell products or services on Facebook, you need to have “Fans”. On a business page you set up on Facebook, there will be a “Like” button at the top of the screen. When people click on this, they are added as fans to the page, and will then see your Facebook status updates when they use Facebook. Its a similar concept to adding people to a mailing list.

2. Remember Facebook in All Other Forms of Marketing Whenever you send an email or newsletter to your subscribers, make sure you include a link to your Facebook page so people can easily click and “like” your page. Your existing customers may not realize youre on Facebook. Include a widget on your current website so people can find you on Facebook, too.

3. Use a Facebook Store App You can easily install an application on your Facebook page to create a store from within the page. When fans are visiting your page, they can literally browse images and descriptions of products you sell. If they click on one to buy, they are taken to your website to complete their purchase and check out.

4. Reward Facebook Fans with Special Offers Keep your fans by offering regular offers only for Facebook fans. Not only will this keep your existing fans happy and generate more sales; but it also encourages your fans to “share” your Facebook page with their friends. Essentially, youre getting other people to market for you. The better your special offers, the more likely people are to pass it on to their friends, and the more likely you are to start getting new fans on your page – and new customers to your business.
