Facebook Shops

We all shop online. We usually google a product or service or go directly to a trusted webshop to make a purchase. But we also shop via social media. And the relevant channels respond conveniently to this.

Wide range every day

Facebook is getting into e-commerce. Recently you can create a webshop on Facebook in the Netherlands without having your own webshop. With the new Shops function, companies can create a free online store that works on all Facebook platforms. An average of 7.1 million people aged 15 and older use Facebook every day. Instagram follows this with about 3.4 million users per day. With Facebook Shops you reach both channels. Ideal to bring your products to the attention.
