In less than a week, 2 people contacted me by phone after doing a Google Search and finding my FB page. One was a truck driver who bought the Rice Cooker and small micro cooker (but unfortunately I lost the sale because of technical issues and his later going direct to pc.com and being assigned through the lead system). But he said he may order some items for his daughter for Christmas and would call me then. The other is a local gentleman who needed a food chopper. I got one from my Director and delivered it last night. He makes salsa, and wants to test the veggie and mango wedger. Another woman contacted me around Father's Day and wanted a QSP..she also expressed interest in fundraisers for the Non Profit org she's director of. That hasn't materialized yet, but maybe it will.

So for no cost to me advertising, it's worth it. Not a lot of money in sales, but you never know where it might lead to! Free advertising? Take advantage of it!
 
Good for you!

Are we now allowed to have a FB page? I thought we could only have a group?
 
For over a year now we've been able to have a fb Page. If you go to the training on CC you'll see some classes that go over the ins and outs.

The HO training does not specifically address Pages, but when the FB thing was announced, I contactd HO and made sure Pages were OK.
