Why do you go to your favorite restaurant over and over? Is it because of the great food? Or….is it because it feels familiar to you? Do you feel like you know the staff so well that you really feel welcome and valued?
Exactly.
Facebook is the platform to establish that feeling with your customers. If you have a brick and mortar establishment…and you’ve already connected with your customers so well that they are loyal to you then that is fabulous!! But what about those customers who aren’t in your geographical area who order online? They also need to feel that connection with you to become a loyal customer and spread the word about your wonderful business or service. If you have an online business then it’s pertinent that you use Facebook business pages to develop that important relationship with your consumers.
