Facebook Places just went live here in New Zealand yesterday.
I just posted this Cinchcast which covers, what Location services are, how they work, and why they are important in marketing your local business online.
Heres what you need to do now.
1. Go and make sure you are listed on Facebook places (and Foursquare for that matter)
(Beg or borrow a smart phone from a friend if you don’t have one yourself…. or go buy an iphone because you should have one anyway.
If your business isn’t listed, then add it.
2. Go to www.facebook.com/places and claim your listing
(just follow along with the instructions)
3. Encourage people to check in to your business. Put up a sign, ask customers as part of your sales process. Especially customers playing with their nice new iPhone in the queue.
Could you do me a favour and leave a comment below. Tell me if you found it helpful or if you have any other questions.
