I'm not one to pay others to do something that I can quite easily do myself, so when I received a sales call yesterday from a company claiming to be in receipt of partial Government Initiative Funding to help businesses like mine to set up e-commerce shops on Facebook, with a small contribution from myself of just £99 I decided to investigate a little. I could find no mention of such an initiative on the search engine, however I did find a link to a Facebook App where it's possible to set up your own Facebook Shop for free if you have a business page there. When I asked the sales company by email for the details of this Government Funding I was called back to be given the information - now call me cynical but if the company isn't prepared to put the information in an email then I smell a bit of a rat! My apologies to said company if I've got this wrong and they are indeed in receipt of this funding, but I've spent today setting up my very own Facebook Shop - not too fiddly and I'm very glad I hung onto the £99!
It's not fully stocked yet, but have a browse, I'll be adding more items when my broadband finally sorts its act out and gives me more speed! Whilst you're over there why not 'Like' our page too if you don't already!
