When you are working on your fan base on your Facebook business page, it can be hard to motivate users to "like" your page. One strategy for adding to your Facebook page is to offer exclusive coupons, sales and deals for fans only.
But consider for a moment your phone. When you see a post in your newsfeed from a a friend using mobile, you know they are out of the house, away from their computer. What if, you could motivate complete strangers to "like" your page on their phones?
Well there is!
Now, you can do a call out for "liking" your page via texting. This is especially great for when you are out doing craft fairs. Don't just sell to your passer by's, turn your table customers into fans on your Facebook page and motivate sales too! Have a table tent sign on your table, offering customers a 10% discount if they text the word "like" and your Facebook page user name to 32665.
Try it yourself! Like our page from you phone. Text the words: like artfirelink to 32665
Here's the anatomy:
"like"=action
"artfirelink"= username for your page (http://www.facebook.com/artfirelink)
32665 is the country code for USA(see all country codes here)
*note: you have to set up your username for your page to use this. You can set that up in your admin of your page under "Resources"
This sets a stage for building your Fan base while you are out doing shows and crafts bazaars this holiday! No hard networking to do it either! You can also post under the "call to action" table tent sign, "Like us on Facebook and receive exclusive coupons, sales and deals on future online purchases for fans only! Find out what craft fair we are at next! We could be coming to your area!"
You would be surprised the extra sales you might make on your craft fairs just by offering that 10% exclusive offer!

Blog Handmade and Win!
We are coming to a close on the Christmas Season! There is only one Saturday left. It's crunch time. Everyone wants to bring in that last great sale! Organic traffic is the best way to make it. So, with that in mind, we are doing a no obligation event echoed from ArtFire's Promotional:
We are hosting a blogging event at It's Better Handmade! Social Network! You're invited to join with us, seller, buyer or bystandard...and blog too! You don't have to be a seller to be a member of It's Better Handmade! It's really very simple, but there are a few things we strongly encourage!
- blog at least 2 paragraphs
- link-it-up why hyperlinks
- you must have a Facebook or Twitter account.
We decided to do the blogging on Saturday at It's Better Handmade Social Network so that we build more content for Google to grab. This gives Google a reason to index the site better, it brings up SEO and in turn, brings in more traffic. More traffic is very good.
This is a coordinated effort to partner up with Handmade Saturday, our sister site. It's our turn this week!
The instructions are in forums...don't worry, just follow the prompts.
The blogging page is called our "Magazine". We have already had some early birds come and post blogs. You can too, it you can't be there Saturday.
We Have a Sibling Site!
We have a new sibling site!
This site was birthed in ArtFire and Etsy forums! Miss00 suggested making our own event like Black Friday and Cyber Monday and the idea stuck like crazy. Everyone encouraged her to press forward with this event..then her doggie died. She called for someone to pick it up...well, I and Ruthie from Rose Works Jewelry teamed up to work on this and an entire website and huge event has been born!
Along with this event and site
comes the business page!
