Evening all! I've had a big website restock, so there are heaps more items available across a lot of categories....but importantly, can we please discuss how many clicks you are willing to make to view these items! ππ€ͺ
You may have seen mentioned on pages from other makers and producers that FB have removed the clickable links as a standard facility for all pages. Now, we get 2 clickable links per month (π³!) unless we pay to join Meta One (or whatever it's called). My first reaction was to stay calm and think 'actually, as a business page, trying to drive potential customers to my website, should I be paying a subscription fee that equates to part of my advertising budget?'. I don't object in principle to paying sonething as a business page, versus personal pages where it's more sharing info and photos with friends and family........however, the issue comes when you take a look at the pricing!!!! I thought maybe Β£10-Β£15 a month, I would subscribe to get my clickable links back.....but OMG, even if I paid Β£129pcm I would only get 8 clickable links per month....and I think to not have to think about counting or budgeting for links it is Β£419 PER BLOODY MONTH!! What are Meta thinking!?
This kind of pricing is for medium to large businesses, not micro and small businesses like the thousands and thousands of those like me who used to find this platform useful and engaging for their growing business.
I just cannot look at paying those prices just to get my clickable links back.....so....please give me your encouragement, suggestions, general comments on life π€£....and let me know whether you find it easier to cut and paste the web address that I will still put in my post comments....or whether you will click back to my main FB page and use the link there to my website??
It would just be lovely to see lots of you reaching the website over the coming days, even just to browse.....just so I know that a couple of extra clicks isn't going to put you off supporting us ππ
Pics of some of the new items. Oh, and the beautiful cobalt blue bezel pendant is still available....I couldn't work out why....until I saw I had listed it as out of stock from the get go π¬π€£
Cut and paste address in comments.
