I had read several posts on various craft forums about using Facebook to help promote your business. I read good posts and bad posts. Still I wasn't sure if FB would do much for my jewelry business, but I thought I'd try it. It wasn't going to cost me anything and it was easy to use!
My on-line store is done through Etsy and recently they added a feature in which you can publish your new listing to your FB page instantly. I've been using this feature and it has really helped gain exposure to my jewelry. I have over 300 Facebook friends so when I add a new items to my store and then in turn publish that info to FB, I am getting another great advertising tool for FREE!
By adding my listings to my personal FB page as well as to my FB business page, I am creating more exposure for my jewelry. Since adding my links to my personal FB page, I have gained more sales and have opened my jewelry line to an entirely new audience that otherwise might not have seen my jewelry. Friends and family who didn't know I had a jewelry business now do and they in turn have been sharing my links with their friends and family!
So when someone asks me what I think about using FB for business, I say definitely use it. It has opened doors for my business and helped me reach more customers!
Let me know how using Facebook has helped your business! And if you want to add me as a friend on FB, feel free, the link is on the side of the blog!
Until next time...Blessings! ~ Dawn

ReplyDeleteI love using Facebook. I recently created a fan page for my etsy shop, NickAnny Creations, but I do love the feature in Etsy to add your newly posted products to your regular site. This does add "free" advertising to lots of people. It also creates a great opportunity for feedback from your customers to comment on products and you to add pictures of coming items.
