COWBELL 10_20_10 Share a Piece of Your Story

We’re devoting this entire week to tips for Facebook so you can get your Business Page up and running well!

It’s time to give your Facebook fans an inside glimpse of why you do what you do with your business.

Here’s the challenge, though.  You’re going to post this in the status update on your business page, and you don’t have a lot of room.  So, what part of the story can you share in a few words that will engage your fans, make them more curious and more likely to come back for more?

Here are just a couple of ideas:

• post before and after pictures of the building after you moved in
• talk about a mentor who inspired you when you first started
• post photos of a few of your staff and share why they’re invaluable to your business
• talk about the ways your business gives back to the community
• post a video (2-3 minutes) of the business owner talking about how he got started (here’s an example from Mike Gerst of Gerst Painting and Contracting)

Remember to share something that has an emotional component, and that helps your fans get to know you and your business better.

Once you post your story, come back here and add the link to the comments so we can admire your handiwork!
