Getting new customers with Facebook
« on: June 16, 2013, 10:23:31 am »
I've read a fair few threads on here that mention getting quite a bit of work through Facebook.
Would anyone mind explaining how this is done please?

Is it simply a case of getting your existing customers to like your page, and then hoping that their family and friends see you and contact you, or is there more to it than that?

Go on all your local sales groups and add a advert and keep bumping it every 12 hours and watch them custys come in.i have added approx 100 off there this year.
Also put your website address on there.
Makr sure you like all the groups in your areas.
Also you can search for window cleaner in groups.this will give you posts by everyone looking for a window cleaner.pm them and add them to your list.jobs a goodun m8.

Could you explain what a profile is as opposed to setting up a page?

I assume you need a personal Facebook page to do this, alas I don't have a Facebook page

Then get your page taken down by the powers that be .

Your not allowed to have a profile as a business your only allowed to have a business Page .

I tried to set up a profile in my company name and it said all Facebook users have to use their real names  ???
I have an old business one that I set up ages ago and you can't seem to search for groups, there is no search bar on a business page.

Set a new profile up as your business name add photos etc.

Against Facebook rules! You may put all that time in adding likes etc & then - gone!

Set up a personal profile & use this as your admin for your business Facebook which is very easy to set up.
The adds can be a bit pricey but you can select it down to certain areas/age/just for newsfeed etc but a £10 can get get you in front of thousands !
