Tips For Social Commerce
Make Photographs In Posts Interesting
Use
images to set your posts. Consumers want to review of what is being
offered before they consider making a purchase. Select photos of your
best items that will trigger a visitor to follow through with purchase
instead of browsing and leaving.
Post Promotions Regularly
New
guidelines on Facebook restrict your storefront from being used as your
landing page, so make your best effort to keep posts at the top of your
page that will draw visitors into your storefront. This will keep your
products first in mind to visitors who receive notifications from your
page.
Select A Relevant Cover Photo
Your
cover photo is yet another opportunity to set your page apart. It
should be pleasing to the eye as well as representative of your brand.
Think of this image as your storefront display. Visitors are window
shopping, and want to see what is within your store as they land on your
page.
"Shop Now" Should Be Your Second App
Default
choices can be found at the top of your Facebook page: Photos, Apps,
and Likes. While Facebook requires that pictures be listed first, the
other three can be re-arranged. This is the opportunity to make your
storefront shine!
