If you sell products or services online and don’t have a Facebook shop, you could now be missing out on a huge opportunity! Facebook Shops were released as a new feature in Spring of 2020, to ease business disruptions caused by COVID-19. 

Facebook Shops are set up to support mobile-optimized stores for people to access on both Facebook and Instagram, making it easy for users to discover, browse, and purchase your products on the platforms that they use daily. 

Not only are Facebook Shops a great new service provided by Facebook, but they’ve changed how users have shopped online for the foreseeable future! This is a feature that your business does not want to miss out on!

Transparent Policies

Transparency is key for your business as we continue to move into the new year. Say what you mean, and mean what you say when you’re communicating with your audience! After the year that many had in 2020, it’s important to stay away from the fluff, and be honest about your business policies when it comes to in-person meetings, events, shopping, and the like.

Your followers are looking for messages to know how your company is responding to the pandemic, and want to join the journey in understanding the decisions that are being made. Listen to the questions that your audience has, take action, and be authentic in your responses.
