How to leverage your existing promotional graphics via Facebook

Jakki Goodall - Monday, October 03, 2011
.. and why not....you have already invested the time and money into producing it? This way it keeps both your offline customers and your online fans informed of up coming specials/promotions.. The trick is to make it a conversation not a post. I suggest you look at the products in your promotion and make a suggestion that creates conversation. 

Below is an example of text you could use.

EXAMPLE: 

"I saw this same bowl in a friend's place <hyperlink friend> the other day and asked her where she got it from, she said Bali and went on to explain how difficult it was to get it back in the country. She almost died when I said we import and stock them in our local store just down the road...... Got me thinking of so many other importing horror stories I have heard of over the years.....would love you to share one.

Remember facebook is not a marketer's platform; facebook is a social Media platform, so make it social: including a friend or fan, transfer the information as a conversation, experience or thought ...and don't sell.

I was thinking it would be a marketing strategy for us, as people that want to camp on Fraser Island aren't interested in Teewah or Noosa North Shore. Is there a place for this, multiple pages? I look forward to your comments.”
