I've very pleased to say that my weak attempt at marketing, with a Facebook page, is doing quite well. The FB sales team has compared the number of likes from my page to a some bagpipe page and I am doing considerably better than them. Go me!!!

You should optimize the synergies by cobranding in social media through pop-up events that monetize relationship building technologies among key demographics for... Aw heck! I almost pulled it off! If I could just have found a way to add in the word "SEO" I would have been golden. |

Hahaha. You guys are too funny! I'll tell you one thing. I'm sure glad I chose guitars over bagpipes. Must be a very tough demograpic. Enjoy The Day |

Where I have found Facebook to be valuable is in documenting the build process. You can snap a few pics at any point with your phone, put them on your site with a few notes, then go back and reference it at any point. I hesitate putting this out here like this but... https://www.facebook.com/cbcguitars/

A friend of mine is a piper. I'll ask him if he can do Purple Haze, and send me a video. Alex |

But yeah photo albums are great ways to document building and especially for commissions where a client can follow along. |

I had a guitar that I shipped , Powell River to Kelowna, since you're a BC boy. It didn't show up in a timely manner and I contacted Canada Post. I spoke to some arrogant, unsympathetic guy back East (Easterners eh. The guy must not have done his morning prayer to the God of Birkenstock  ) who told me it was likely stolen. That got me going and I started with FB. Not sure if this link will work. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php? ... 945111118.. I have about 100 FB friends and have sent out a total of 4 friend requests. Check out how this one got around. 53,662 people reached and 818 shares! I think I'm going to loose one every year...... right after my annual "Going Out Of Business" sale.Like you, I'm happy to build and sell 2 - 5 a year. I don't want to make it a job and ruin the fun. Anything to get you out there helps. |
