However, often this is easier said than done, many businesses seem to oversee the importance of filling this required information out completely. Before inviting anyone to your shiny new Facebook page, we recommend you share some content (images, links to articles or blogs relevant to your customers, videos, etc) on your page so that there is something there once your first visitors arrive. Let your first page visitors get a sense of the type of posts they can look forward to getting there.
Don’t skimp on filling out all the necessary info on your page. Do your homework, edit all the required information (add store Opening hours, phone numbers or websites, booking links, etc) and then start inviting people to your Facebook page, always invite your friends (your number one fans) and family!
