There are a few ways to do this. One option is to set up a store within your Facebook account that is not linked to a webpage based online store. One example of this is Storefront Social, which allows you to input products directly into Facebook, with the option to sync them with your existing store for the higher level accounts. Plans for an account range from around $5 to $50 a month. If you already have an online store, there are also other third party sites that will sync up with your existing store. An example of this option is BeeShopy. BeeShopy integrates with both Magneto and Shopify. If you are interested in this sort of solution and don't have a Magneto or Shopify store, you can also request to add your host. Prices depend on your plan with your host site, but they range from about $20 to $300 + dollars a month. If you don't want to pay any fees, there are also free options. Whenever "free" is involved, you have to be careful of which service you go with because often you get what you pay for. MiiDuu.com offers a great free option, though, allowing you to set up a fully functional store within your Facebook page for free, and it only takes a minute to sign up for an account. Accounts are also free, so if you are interested in this option it is easy to sign up for a MiiDuu account to get free access to the MiiDuu Shop for Facebook. No matter which option you choose, make sure you get the most out of it! There are 500 MILLION active users on Facebook, so plenty of potential customers are out there waiting to be discovered. Make sure you have a good social media campaign in place so you can get your product out there without being annoying. You should also make sure all of your existing customers know about your new store. If they are active on your Facebook page, they are more likely to share your page with their friends who will share your store with their friends, and so on. If utilized correctly, your Facebook store has the potential to take you to the next level, and beyond.
Hi Andy and thanks for your ideas. I like the number 1, I will try to get info because I've not yet opened my store on Facebook. Until now I played with Pages See you soon, Alessandro Zamboni
you mind if i ask...? do you think this option is cost effective? to advertise or create a store on facebook? i'm really willing to try this one it's just that i want to be sure that I'm spending my money on the right thing.
c.kdavid- Facebook stores can be very cost efficient. If you're worried about it, I recommend going with MiiDuu.com, as it's a completely free option so there is no risk involved. puck82- Good luck with your store!
Can you use MiiDuu.com to resell brand name products? Or you only allowed to use MiiDuu.com to sell your own products?
Thanks for this enlightenment. I never thought it is possible to have a personal store on Facebook. I will surely give it a trial.
