In the marketing world, visibility and accessibility are the open doors that lead to engagement and eventual leads.

If you’re active on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram you’re already covering your visibility base but, are you making yourself accessible to your audience?

When you make your business accessible for your current, new and potential customers you’re advertising that you’re available for your client base. And without even realizing, you’re developing the very human relationship that all sales are built on!

Especially in these uncertain times when human connection is more important than ever, it’s more important than ever to connect with your audience.

Facebook to the rescue!

To help business owners like you turn your followers into customers, Facebook has recently introduced a convenient new feature: Appointments! 

What’s So Great About The New Appointment Feature?

#1. Convenience Is Key

Because we live in the age of technology, most of us expect convenient methods of reaching out to businesses whether we’re a current customer or not. The new appointment feature allows your potential customers to do just that!

This feature allows you to not only be more accessible to current and future clients, it also encourages potential customers to start a conversation with you. Conversations like these are how baby leads are born!

#2. Time Saver

It’s a complicated time to be a business owner. Running a business requires money and as the old saying goes, “Time is money.” If there’s a tool that will allow you to build relationships while simultaneously saving time, it’s worth taking advantage of to spare expenses.

The more you can cut down on the back and forth conversation the better. Also, being more organized gives the impression of being professional and trustworthy.

#3. It’s FREE!

No explanation necessary! But seriously, take advantage of free tools that will enable communication and lead generation whenever you can.
