Anyone on Facebook? Do you like it?

[CLMCovers]

I love my business Facebook page. If you haven't got one its a really fabulous way to let your customers/friends know what you're up to. Here's mine...

Good idea Lu! I agree! Facebook has been the single, biggest social platform for generating sales for my business, outside of Etsy! Every business needs a facebook page! Here's mine:

I thoroughly enjoy my FaceBook art page www.facebook.com/LynnBaileyPrintmaker
For me it's a bit like "Blog-light". I don't like writing too much, so fb is good for telling my story in pictures.
I also find the printmaking community on fb to be very mutually supportive.

Twitter is also good and I use this in a slightly different way. This has been particularly useful for me to connect with environmentalist - who just might be interested in my work.

Can't believe that out of 130 members on the Made in Devon team only 9 have a FaceBook page.

I have "liked" all who have commented in this thread so far...

I did think there could be mileage in having a Made in Devon FaceBook page set up - but not if so few of us actually engage with FaceBook.

What do you think?

I find my FB page very useful, with people connecting from all over the world. I definitely get more views when I post something on FB and Twitter, there have been a couple of sales that I can be sure are a direct result from social networking. And who knew that there were so many printmaking enthusiasts in Tripoli!?

Who else out there finds their FB page a useful marketing tool?
Do you have any tips you would like to share with others about getting the most out of it?
Or is there anyone cautiously thinking about setting up a FB page, but would like to ask a few questions first?

Hi Ren just tweeted your facebook page, I'll gradually work my way through everybody. Good page well constructed with the content.

[LynnBaileyPrintmaker]

There have been quite a few new Made in Devon team members since the last posting in this thread - any of you using a facebook page for your art/craft work? ?
Let us know so that we can like and support each other.

Cheers

I seem to generate custom orders through my Facebook page which is good, Etsy still a little slow for me at the moment.

Hi. My page is www.facebook.com/devonsunyarns. I use facebook as my main selling platform and it's incredibly successful for me. You do need to post regularly, and interest in other places, not just your own page but it's been very worth while for me so far.

[Former_Member]

I really enjoy having my facebook page! It is my main selling platform too - it's where I started my business and has generated probably 90% of my sales to date.. I have steady orders and lots of repeat customers. Unfortunately my other selling platforms - Etsy included - have not been the same, only had one etsy sale so far x

Hi all,

I have set up a Facebook page to promote my Etsy shop but no one seems to be receiving my invitations to like the page- well, either that or they don't like my jewellery!! Haha.
I have liked everyone's pages that have been mentioned above, and seen some lovely goodies to spend my pennies on after Christmas.
My page is Facebook.com/FloraBubble
