I’ve been scrambling the last couple of weeks to learn more about Facebook and finally get my HeartStrings FiberArts business page launched. It’s been an exhilarating experience to see it come together, but also a lot of work and learning time to customize.
The latest addition is the Shop page. Fortunately, I had help in getting that page up and running. I was able to contract with Shopatron to initialize the page with a feed from my manufacturer’s catalog on Shopatron. Thanks to Joe Mlnarik (otherwise known as Joe Shopatron on my FB admin page) for going the extra mile in getting the data feed tailored to meet the unique needs displaying HeartStrings patterns in their proper categories. When reporting in to me yesterday, he jested, “The good news is your Facebook Shop is now live, and I am now very familiar with your product line :)”.
What this means to HeartStrings fans on Facebook is that links to HSFA patterns are just a tab away. Whether just to tell your friends about a favorite pattern you saw, or to buy, I hope this makes it easy and fun for you.
For retailers in my Shopatron network, this means greater potential for more sales coming your way as the word continues to spread about HeartStrings knitting patterns.
Thanks for the write up, Jackie.
Best of luck with your new Facebook Shop!
