1. Set Up a Business Page (Always Public)

•  Go to facebook.com → Create → Page → “Business or Brand”

•  Use your real business name + “Aynor” (ex: Joe’s Hardware – Aynor)

•  Add logo, cover photo of your storefront, hours, phone, website.

•  Why public? Anyone can like, share, or tag friends—free advertising!

2. Post Like a Local

•  3 posts/week keeps you visible.

•  Mix it up:

•  Monday deal

•  Behind-the-scenes photo

•  Customer shout-out

•  Use #AynorProud #ShopLocalAynor so posts show up in local searches.

3. Use Private Groups for VIPs

•  Create a private group (ex: “Joe’s VIP Customers”)

•  Invite loyal customers → share flash sales, coupons, early hours.

•  Keeps deals exclusive without spamming the public page.

4. Run Simple Boosts ($5–$10)

•  From your Page → pick a post → “Boost Post”

•  Target: “People within 10 miles of Aynor” + age 25–65

•  Set budget & days → approve → watch likes & messages roll in.

5. Reply Fast

•  Turn on Messenger notifications on your phone.

•  Answer in <1 hour = trust & sales.

Pro Tip: Add a “Shop Now” button on your Page → links straight to your site or order form.
