Facebook Live Shopping is a way to reach your audience. Facebook has over 3 billion users. For many businesses, using the app has been an important way to build their businesses. Used well, it can be an extremely effective way to build your brand resilience and strength. But it is not without risk. Owning your content and your audience is key to building your brand resilience and strength.
Chapter 01Losing your Facebook page
We heard from a business who had a popular Facebook page, had spent the time and dedication building up an active audience – years of time and effort gone! They are not alone:
” A lot of Facebook users have apparently faced the same extremely frustrating situation. No notice, no logic, no chance to explain yourself or to get explanations. You wake up one morning and your page has vanished. That’s just what it is. “We have deleted your account, now deal with it.” Great” – Michèle Grenier
Chapter 02Reasons behind a ban
There are lots of obvious reasons why Facebook might ban a page (illegal activity, offensive posts etc.) but others are far less obvious. You may be posting content which is similar to previously reported posts which could see you being banned. This issue is compounded because there is a limited customer service function. It is hard to get to talk to someone at Meta. They don’t have a customer support service in the way we might think they would. Often people rely on knowing someone who works at Meta to get answers to their problems. This isn’t possible for everyone.
Chapter 03What Now?
It’s really important to use the tools for reach whilst keeping control over your content. In the words of Joe Pulizzi, content marketing expert, CEO of the Tilt::
“Don’t build your content on rented land.”
So how do you do that? There are various tools you can use to work with Facebook to provide content that you have control over.
Chapter 04Facebook Live Shopping
Video is huge on Facebook and many users are driven more to video content. Using Live Selling is a great way to engage your audience.
