A strong social media presence is key when it comes to growing a successful direct sales business.
For most, Facebook is the main social media platform to connect with customers and loyal followers.
After joining a direct sales company one of the first things you should do is set up a Facebook business page. It’s quick, simple, and critical for your social media following.
Not quite convinced? Read on for three key reasons why you need a Facebook business page for your direct sales business.
Facebook TOS
Your Facebook personal profile is just that, personal. Any posts, pictures, or videos are intended for your friends and family.
When you a create a Facebook profile, you are agreeing to the Facebook TOS policy that you will not post business-related content.
Have you guessed what may happen when you use your personal profile for your direct sales business?
*du dum*
You’ll be stuck in Facebook jail.
Be professional, don’t spam your friends and family, get your business page set up!
Now that it is set, make sure to link it to your personal profile so that when someone comes creepin’ at your profile, they will clearly see which company you work for.
Insights & Analytics
Your Facebook business page will be a landing page for the public to find you.
Set up your business page and you will be treated to the wonderful world of Facebook analytics! Under each post, you will see how many people were reached and you will also get special notifications for any activity that occurs on your business page.
This will help you get to know which posts and graphics are most successful. Use the Facebook analytics data to strengthen your future posts and reach a wider audience.
You have a short amount of time to make someone stop scrolling. Dive into the data to find out the most optimal days and times to post on your business page.
Sharing is Caring
Also, you will want to use your Facebook business page as the starting point for all of your business-related content.
Here’s what I mean; a post that you put on your Facebook business page can then be shared with any Facebook group you are a member of.
Whether it is your own VIP Group for your direct sales company or a Mommies Group that you belong to. By sharing information from your business page, you will see an increase in the audience your post reaches and you can see the Facebook analytics on how many people have been reached.
Smart right?!
The goal of your Facebook business page is to keep all of your business content in one spot and be able to track the success of each individual post.
From there, use it as a tool to share across other Facebook groups to increase exposure of your direct sales business to a wider audience.
