New business

Hi imperfect mums,
I've started a new business (just on Facebook and Etsy at the moment). I'm wondering where is the best place to advertise / have my page shared. Any tips from mum's with home based businesses would be fantastic.
Thanks a bunch
Xx

Letterbox drop? But the odds of someone actually logging onto facebook to like your page are slim. Word of mouth is your best bet. Every time someone comments or likes a page on your Facebook, it will show up on their friends feed. So you need to entice people to comment, like or share. That's why so many business pages share memes.... they're likely to get more 'sharing' response and that will lead people to your page. Competitions work, too. But you have to follow the FB guidelines... which means you need to hold the competition outside of Facebook (on a blog etc) and only LINK people to that page. But they can comment or like on the link. Unfortunately, it's a very sloooow slog getting likers without a lot of marketing trickery. Especially handmade items... which I'm assuming yours is, as you're on Etsy. I have two FB businesses... one I've had for 7 years. Has nearly 2K likers, with no marketing whatsoever. The other, I've only just started.... and I've only had 40 likes in a week. Just the nature of the beast!
