Encourage customers to shop online

 

Include links to your website or to specific items that you are selling.

Engineering, tech and industrial companies should have a library of the products.

Placing an Order Online

1. Let customers know how they can contact you to place orders

Provide your contact information and include details on when you are accepting orders. Share measures that you are taking to keep safe.

 

 

2. Maintain customer relationships

Stay connected to your customers even if you can’t be there in person. Answer customer’s questions that your business receives from Messenger and Instagram directly from your Facebook Page Inbox. Consider setting up automated responses to frequently asked questions such as business hours and how to place orders.

Take your events online

If you have to postpone or cancel an in-person event, try hosting a live on Facebook or Instagram instead.

Do you have second hand heavy equipment or used machinery? You can create an online auction and invite your potential clients to participate.

Live is a great way to broadcast real-time video on Facebook with just your camera on a desktop or mobile device. Think of it as a chance to take your customers behind the scenes.

Five ideas for going live

  • Host a Q&A
  • Go live with someone in your audience and interview them
  • Showcase and explain your products or services
  • Teach your audience how to do something
  • Create a live series

Tips for your live

  • Go live with Wi-Fi instead of mobile data for a smoother video.
  • For steadier shots, use a tripod or prop your phone up against a wall or a book.
  • Interact with your audience and respond to comments during your broadcast.
  • To get more viewers, post about your event in advance. You can create an event post on Facebook, or a story with the countdown sticker on Instagram.
  • When your live finishes, you can save or post the video to keep it.
