Facebook Shops

We all shop online. We usually Google a product or service or go directly to a trusted online store to make a purchase. But we also shop via social media. And the channels in question respond cleverly to this.

Wide reach every day

Facebook is getting into e-commerce. Recently you can create a webshop on Facebook in the Netherlands without having your own webshop. With the new Shops feature, companies can create a free online store that works on all Facebook platforms. An average of 7.1 million people aged 15 and older use Facebook every day. Instagram follows this with around 3.4 million users per day. With Facebook Shops you reach both channels. Ideal to draw attention to your products.

Benefits of Facebook Shops

In addition to the wide reach of Facebook and Instagram, setting up a Facebook online store offers even more advantages:

• It's a free tool
• You can offer an unlimited number of products

• You can communicate with customers directly through your page
