If you are one of those people who have been busy running your business and don't have time to watch every single internet trend I understand. It is hard to keep up with what is going on, and more importantly what is useful online. That is why we exist :)
This week something big happened online that will DIRECTLY impact you as a local business owner. FaceBook released FaceBook Deals! This is a big deal.
Here's the scoop, FaceBook has had Facebook Places for a while now, it allows customers to check in a local business locations. When someone does this it updates their FaceBook wall and tells all their friends where they are at.
Until this change there was no real reason for people to "check-in" at local businesses. There was no incentive. Now FaceBook is allowing businesses to offer special deals to people who "Check-in" at their businesses. This is AWESOME news for local business owners.
When people "check-in" not only are they telling their friends and followers (the average FaceBook user has 156 followers) that they are at your business now you get to give them a deal for doing so. The more deals you give, the more people will "check in", the more their friends will see and know of the deal and the more people will come to your business. Pretty cool.
The cost is $0 to do this. Of course there is a set up process and learning curve, you have to have your business on FaceBook and have a FaceBook page, but this is all free too. Bottom line you can't afford to ignore this development.
If you don't want to deal with the details of finding all this stuff and staying up to date that is where we come in. We can create a kickass FaceBook page and get you all set up with local deals.
If you are a local business you should do this right away. Don't drag your feet, jump in on this one.Trust us this is going to be a BIG DEAL to local business owners.
