Cant remember exactly

I think you set it up as group, then when you have 50 fans you can remame your page to get rid of the numbers.

Dont set it up as a normal facebook page

You need 20 "likes" to get a name.

if the customers join your grp and one cancels cos the windows are wet, or one little bead they take a picture of the window post it and the other customers see it, and she makes them cancel,i would be well carefull,

it will be a problem facebook is a nightmare thats why i dont have one personally :D

come on think about it

2 customers one u had for 2 years one u picked up 6 months ago both on the same street so they know each other but no very well but now they are connected via your facebook and start talking both customers are nice, one turns bad for any reason (while on your face book) shows pictures of a window that didnt show up good cos of her leaky rubbers around the glass or a bead, the other good customer notices then they both remember the trad guy never used to leave a bead,you loose both customers ,now if facebook wasnt connecting them you would have lost just 1,

Use facebook but i would be carefull if there is a way of not adding your domestic customers thats good. i got no idea how it works im just seeing problems.

Or someone who is about to drop you notices a neighbour uses you.  The neighbour says she loves your work.  The first one decides to stick with you.

Why only see the negatives?

you are right,

but picking up work normally isnt a problem i see negatives in this because i used to have a very compact round all next door money was great but it was like facebook,if the local idiot acused you of not cleaning his windows and putting a slip in when you did,all of a sudden next door cancels you too.now if these 2 were far apart they wouldnt invluence each other would day?

i vowed never to own a compact round again,what facebook looks like it does is turns your round somewhat like this where customers 10 miles away might be able to invluence each other!
