Final Facebook Presentation

 

Self-Evaluation

 

Results of my execution of page

 

I went into this part of the assignment and class with excitement and willingness to use the Facebook page. I saw this as a way to get my new business off the ground.

I knew that I would be busy. Then the semester started and I found that I was not able to spend time on the actual business, work full time and keep up with my school responsibilities.

I did take care of the business web page enough to be able to go ahead and promote the page through Facebook to fulfill the class assignment. Not having great items to promote from the actual business web page was a component to not being able to add interest to the Facebook page.

Everything started without too much of an issue, but after a few friends liked the page, the likes dried up. I was getting likes for the actual posts, but not the page. This was one issue that I did not meet the goal for 30 likes.

My friends just were not interested in liking a business page that is selling used items.

 

What Will I do Different

 

I have the business page established. I will continue to promote items through Facebook, as well as take the suggestion and cross promote through Pinterest.com. As I sell some items through other services as Amazon.com or e-bay, I will add information in the packages to promote the website as well as the Facebook page.

As time becomes available I will work to add product to the business main web page and promote new additions to the inventory.

I will not depend on Facebook, but will use the tools to continue to grow. I was able to get several Facebook likes, and can continue the growth with some work.

I will go snoop on another business that I have on my follow or friend list, that sells the same type of things and sells in the same way that I do. I will see what works and build on their ideas.

Careful promotions of special items will also be a goal. I want to find a way to promote and keep the commission away from e-bay and Amazon. I can drop the price and still make money.

My plan is to do what I have done and then do some more. Hard work will create a great business out of an idea.
