Day Spa & Salon Breaking NEWS: Great New Feature on Facebook
Re: Day Spas, Beauty Salons, Massage Therapists, Hair Salons – Do This TODAY!
Facebook has just announced Places, the long-awaited feature that brings location-based functionality to the most popular social network in the world. And, it has some interesting marketing potential for YOUR business.
According to Facebook, “Places is a Facebook feature that allows you to see where your friends are and share your location in the real world.
When you use Places, you’ll be able to see if any of your friends are currently checked in nearby and connect with them easily.
You can check into nearby Places to tell your friends where you are, tag your friends in the Places you visit, and view comments your friends have made about the Places you visit.
Connect with people on Facebook in a completely new way.”
How to Use Places
First of all, you or a Facebook friend in your group will need a smartphone. If you don’t have an iPhone, you’ll have to use the Facebook touch mobile site on a browser that supports both HTML 5 and geolocation.
You can add places, check in to places that already exist, and tag people who are with you.
If you have an iPhone or access to one, here’s what I recommend you do right away:
Get your Hair Salon or Day Spa location entered into Facebook Places immediately!
Just follow Facebook’s instructions below:
1. Access the Places application on your supported device. 2. Click “Check In.” 3. Click the “Add” button to the left of the Places Names search box. 4. Enter a name for the new Place as well as an optional description of it. Then, click the “Add” button at the bottom right of the page. 5. You will then have the option to both write a description of what you are doing at the new Place, and/or tag your friends there. 6. Click the “Check In” button to share your visit.
“Keep in mind that any Place that you create is public. This means that other people may see your created Place while browsing Facebook or the Places application.”
Once your location has been added to Places, either by you or by another local Facebook user, just go to the Place page from Facebook.com and click the link that says “Is this Place Page your business?”
If you claim the location as your business, it will become a Facebook Page. You can then post updates to people who like the Page, update your business information and more.
This is what makes Facebook Places so cool.
I really think Facebook Places is going to take off when the application is accessible on all devices and all countries.
For now, get your beauty salon location into the system. I’ll be sharing more updates on how to maximize and leverage Facebook Places as soon as more information becomes available.
Places – Who. What. When. And now Where.

P.S. Other Tips…

What do you think is the best way to approach Places for people and businesses?
