Frequently Asked Questions
How will social media benefit my business?
Consumers are turning more and more frequently to peer recommendations when making purchasing decisions. Recent surveys have found that 90% of consumers trust peer recommendations when buying a product, compared to 14% who buy based on advertising. So what does that have to do with social media? Facebook is now the world’s largest online platform for making and sharing peer recommendations.
How does social marketing differ from traditional advertising?
To become an effective social media marketer, you need to brand yourself as a thought leader for your audience. Avoid direct marketing that encourages people to buy (except on a limited basis), and focus instead on providing fun and interesting content that relates to your business. No more than 20% of your content should be self-promotional.
Should I share content from sources outside of SendOutCards?
Absolutely. The power of social media comes when you become an information source for all things related to your business. Although you should include content and links that draw attention to SendOutCards products, don’t be afraid to venture outside those products and offer general tips related to health, exercise, beauty and nutrition. This is the philosophy SendOutCards’ service will employ on your behalf.
Will SendOutCards’ social media service help me grow my team?
As you know, direct selling is a relationship business. Social media is just one way of sharing information. You will still need to find people to drive to your Facebook page and blog. Once those people are there, they can explore your content, share that content with others in their network. This process may generate some leads.

A member of our team will then reach out to you to walk you through the change-over process.

How do I invite my friends to my business page?
Simply go to the ‘Build Audience’ button at the top of your page. Click on ‘Invite friends.’ Before you start clicking on friends to invite, press the button that says ‘Recent Interactions.’ This will allow you to select all friends, instead of just those with whom you have had a recent interaction. Once that step is complete, start clicking on friends to invite and hit submit. An invitation will be sent to their Facebook page.
Are there other ways to build my audience?
Yes! The ‘Build Audience’ button also allows you to Share a post on your personal page or invite email contacts from an existing mail service or from an excel or .csv file.
When I click on ‘Build Audience,’ only the email option appears. Why?
Because you need to be using Facebook as your personal page. Go back to your personal page and search for your business page using the Facebook search bar. This time when you pull up your business page, you will see your name in the upper right-hand corner. Now try clicking on the ‘Build Audience’ tab. You should see all of the options.
How do I grow my LIKES?
The first step is to invite your friends using one of the tools — invite friends, share your page, upload email contacts — listed above. The next step is to share content periodically on your personal Facebook page. This will increase the reach of your content. Other strategies include putting your Facebook url on your business cards, creating a social media icon on your website and sending out an email to your friends, family and associates inviting them to LIKE your page.
Why can’t I see my apps?
It may be because you are using a mobile phone or tablet. Facebook does not support tabs on mobile devices. If you are using a desktop computer, you may need to scroll down a bit farther. You should see them in the left-hand column. (You can also access them through the menu bar below your cover image by clicking ‘More.’ This will show all the apps on your page.)
How does someone sign up though my Facebook page?
They would sign up by clicking the Opportunity and pressing the button ‘Get Started.’ Your Associate ID will auto-populate with the signup form.
What do I do if my distributor number isn’t showing up when people click on ‘Get Started’ under my tabs?
This is an issue we will need to resolve technologically. It will take approximately 24 hours to resolve while we insert the Associate ID into the coding of the tabs.
What size of photos do I need for profile, cover and posts?
Profile Pic – 180x180 pixels; Cover Photo – 851x315 pixels; Posts – 403x403 pixels
