It's important to regularly update your page with special offers, promotions and details on what's new in your store. However this can be time consuming, and although we have all been drinking the social media cool-aid, we don't all have time to continuously update our pages in this way.
VendingBox has just launched a fantastic promotional tool, which allows vendors to create scheduled product promotion campaigns. In a nutshell, all you need do, is create a campaign, add some products, choose a schedule, and watch the posts happen for you!
The following easy steps show you how to get started.
1. Login to your VendingBox account, select a VendingBox, and choose 'Facebook Campaigns' from the left menu.
2. Click the "Get Started" link , giving the application permission to make posts to your page.
3. Allow the page to reload, and 'Create a new Campaign'.
Once created you will be ready to begin adding some products.
4. Search for products to add to this promotional campaign, and choose 'Add' for each one.
When done, go 'back to campaigns' and configure your schedule.
5. Choose a slogan for your campaign.
Some ideas would be "What's new" , "Friday Madness" , "Cake of the hour!" , "Special Offer" , "July is the month for gloves!"
There are lots of schedules to choose from, ranging from hourly to weekly. If you want to repeat the campaign once all the products in your list have completed, simply tick the 'Repeat' option.
The system already knows all of the Facebook pages you own, so you can choose the page to post the products. Enable the campaign, save and watch it all happen for you.
There is no limit to the number of products that can be added to a campaign, and no limit to the number of campaigns you can create. You could promote one product at 20.00 and another at noon, or a have a daily special offer at 16:00
It's noon bargain time! What a cool call to action?
So what does it look like once posted?
Going on holidays and want to keep the posts going on your site while away?
Have you gathered a seasonal set of products, you want to promote over the next few weeks?
Let us know what you think of this feature!
