What Brands Should Keep in Mind With Facebook Shops

FacebookShops might be a great option for brands that want to dabble in ecommerce for the first time or expand their strategy to major social networks.

虽然Facebook商店和其他电子商务平台可能对您的品牌和收入有利,但在推出任何在线商店或服务之前,您仍然需要牢记一些事情:

  • Promote the shopping experience:如果观众不了解您的产品或您的品牌,他们可能找不到您的Facebook商店或电子商务平台。这就是为什么重要的promote your Shop, product deals, and brand就像您在任何其他在线商店中一样。
  • Prepare for high demand:如果您有很多产品清单,人们可能会急于购买它们。但是,如果您的团队对客户需求的反应迅速,那么延迟的订单或其他障碍可能会导致购物者将来避免您的Facebook商店。准备回应good purchasing outcomes and high demand,以及不良的结果。
  • 品牌一致性仍然很重要:Although Facebook Shops exists on a social media platform, that doesn't mean you shouldn't保持品牌。如果您的Facebook商店的样式,图像和布局看起来与您的网站或Facebook业务页面不一致或不一致,则人们可能不信任或less willing to give your Shop their payment information
