Stay connected with your customers
Published By: Facebook For Business | June 17, 2020
At Facebook, we’re committed to keeping businesses like yours connected with your community — especially when disruptions and frequent changes make normal communication more difficult.
We know that many businesses are facing unexpected challenges including keeping in touch with customers, so we wanted to share a few things you can do now to get ahead of these challenges and stay connected.
Before you read the tips, check out our downloadable templates at the bottom of this post and on the Facebook Blog HERE to help you get started with customer communications.
Place orders
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 the measures you are taking to keep safe.
Shop online
Encourage customers to shop online. Include links to your website or to specific items you are selling.
Get support
Share that your business is open to receiving support. Give customers ideas on how they can support your business. Include links to help guide them.
Sell gift cards
Encourage customers to buy gift cards from your business. If your business offers gift cards, let people know how to find and purchase them.
Express gratitude
Express gratitude for your community. Keep it simple and show that you are united with your community.
Keep up customer relationships
Stay connected to your customers even if you can’t be there in person. Answer customer questions your business receives from Messenger and Instagram right from your Facebook Page Inbox. Consider setting up automated responses to frequently asked questions such as business hours and how to place orders. Read More >>
Take your events online
If you have to postpone or cancel an in-person event, try hosting a Live on Facebook or Instagram instead. 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. Read More >>
