VIDEO – How To Activate Your Dealership’s Facebook Place Tips
Facebook just rolled out their Place Tips feature for all Facebook Pages. While this new feature has been available to a limited number of accounts since last summer, today all businesses can greet their customers with a relevant message.
Place Tips allow you to provide a custom message that appears on the phone of a visiting customer when they walk into your store and open up Facebook. This is a great way to welcome them to your store and push out relevant specials and information.
The feature is unobtrusive and uses Wifi and GPS to target nearby customers. It works as long as your guests have their location/GPS services enabled.
