• Do vary your types of content. — Aim for posts that are resourceful, interesting and engaging. This will ensure your audience stays entertained! — Salon news, events, and photos of stylists’ work typically generate high engagement on this platform. • Do be personal, but don’t use “I” or your personal opinion. — People want to do business with a real person, so be real, but remember that you represent the JPMS brand and must always be professional. — What you say online not only affects your salon but every other PM salon and the brand. • Do interact with fans. Don’t be in everyone’s business. — It’s important that you have a conversation with fans, but do not mistake conversation with excessive small talk or constant responses to other posts. — Remember, this is a customer service tool, not a personal Facebook page, and it should be used as such. — Responses should be prompt and genuine. • Do update your business page’s cover photo regularly.
