If you’re a franchisee using Facebook, you already know how important Facebook Check-Ins<\/strong> are.<\/p>\n

But just in-case you need a reminder, read what the folks at Tribute Media<\/a> wrote:<\/p>\n

“If someone uses the Check-In function on Facebook when they visit your business, they are telling their friends on social media that they are currently at and enjoying your services or products. This results in free advertising, increased brand awareness, and is essentially an endorsement from that user<\/em>.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are 3 things\u00a0that really stand out there. They are:<\/p>\n

A Visit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Someone has to “visit<\/em>” your franchise business<\/a> in order to use the Check-In function on Facebook. That means that someone is<\/em> doing business with you. Cha-Ching!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Telling<\/strong><\/p>\n

If a customer of yours is “telling their friends<\/em>” that they’re doing business with your franchise business, what they’re really<\/em> doing is “endorsing<\/em>” your business.<\/p>\n

For example, when I go to a restaurant-and use Facebook to Check-In, I’m telling my friends on Facebook that I approve<\/strong> the restaurant I’m dining at. I’m basically putting my own “seal of approval<\/em>” on the business. My friends notice it, and it’s a good<\/strong> thing.<\/p>\n

Free Advertising<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you want free advertising for your franchise business-the business you put your own money on the line for? Of course you do.<\/p>\n

Fact:<\/strong> According to the folks at Causely<\/a><\/strong>, every time a person checks into a business, on average, 200 of their friends see it. That’s huge! That’s<\/em> free advertising for your business at its best.<\/p>\n
