This is a phenomenal way to keep in touch with your customers and the Downtown Market’s 1600++ Fans. Last week, the market’s page received almost 900 unique visitors who were tuning in to see what was going on at the Market. Merchants who post updates about their products on the DTM FACEBOOK page report more interest and questions from customers. Consider it a FREE website page for your business, a living brochure really. Post pictures of your product and you – let folks get to know you. Run special sales for your FACEBOOK fans. It only takes a few minutes to get set up a page. But maybe you feel a little unsure about the process. The Market wants to help you boost your business. If you are a current merchant (weekend of 5/7-9) and need help setting up a FACEBOOK page, we are here to help you.
Beginning Friday 5/7through Sunday 5/9 (11a-4pm) – Pepper and Josiah will be on hand to work personally with you to help set up your fan page and get your first “biz” post up on the DTM FACEBOOK page. Simply check in that weekend and schedule a 30 minute session. We’ll even make sure your booth is covered during your appointment! Come prepared with your business name/email address, photos on a CD or jump drive and, if possible, your own computer, though that is not required. If you are not going to be a merchant during Mother’s Day weekend, don’t fret…we are going to help you too! Stay tuned for more details about a Thursday evening TBD in May when you can attend a special 5-7pm seminar providing training on setting up FACEBOOK pages. But if you are a current merchant, DON’T wait! Let’s get your business cooking the weekend of 5/7-5/9.If you already have a page, fan up with us at: http://www.facebook.com/home.
