Facebook Milestone Example – Thank You Card
How can Facebook Milestones help your business?
Think about when you are making a decision to use a specific service or product. What kind of information is important to you while in the decision making process? Here are a few things that are important to me and I take into consideration before choosing a product or service:
- How long has this business been in my community?
- How long has this person been with the company?
- If not long then how long has this person been in the industry?
- What are other people saying about this business?
- What does this business do to support the local community?
- Have any of my friends used this service/product?
- What kind of a reputation does this business have in the business community?
- Does this company have responsive customer service?
As you can seemy questions are not so much service or product related. They are more people related – and that is how you can stand out on Facebook.
Facebook Milestones easily answer these questions
A Milestone is a special kind of Facebook post. It allows for a larger image, specific date (you can back date them), and for telling a story. They will stay in your Timeline as the right place so people can do research on your company. By using Milestones you are giving a more rounded picture of your business.
