Marketplace Integration

Hi I'm Tom,  I'm new here and am having difficulties with Facebook Market Place. 

  1. I don't have an advertising budget yet. I'm too small and sales are not consistent or regular enough. My clients rave about products, build, quality and price. I've been posting and relying on word of mouth for sales. I can't figure out how to promote my products or make a business page.
  2. Am I barking up the wrong tree. I'm local in the East Valley. Should I be starting in a different direction?

    What product or service are you offering? And are you currently using an active Jobber plan?

    Hi Tom, welcome to the community! I don't think you're barking up the wrong tree at all. Building a business takes time, especially when you're working with a limited budget. It sounds like you already have something that's incredibly valuable—happy customers who appreciate your quality and craftsmanship.

    I'd continue asking satisfied customers for reviews, photos of completed projects, and referrals while you build your online presence. I'm also interested in hearing what has worked for other members when it comes to growing through Facebook Marketplace or creating a business page. Wishing you the best as your business continues to grow!

    Word of mouth is one of the strongest forms of marketing because it’s built on trust. I’d start by turning those happy customers into content, ask if they’d share a photo, review, or testimonial. That social proof can help you reach new customers without needing a big advertising budget. What type of products are you selling? There may be some free marketing channels that fit your niche.
