SETTING GOALS FOR YOUR PAGE
• Before you begin to post, you should know:
1. What’s my business’ brand/message?
2. What value will I provide my visitors?
3. How will I build a relationship?
4. How will I LISTEN to conversations, POSITIVELY engage & offer
support?
5. What will the posting schedule be?
