Selling Your Products From Facebook Is Now Possible With the Launch of the …

Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) August 02, 2011

With the increasing popularity of the social networking giant Facebook, businesses have been looking for ways to capitalize on the marketing efforts invested on this platform. Using LunarStore, businesses can both showcase products and allow their visitors to make purchases using an online shopping cart, without having to navigate away from their Facebook page.

By bringing their store to Facebook, businesses can now offer their customers an in-Facebook shopping experience. With LunarMods sharing features, businesses also have the ability to put the power of social media to work for them without having to buy ads directly from Facebook.

The LunarStore App also makes it easy for anyone to setup an eCommerce store in less than five minutes. LunarMods not only has the most easy to use eCommerce App, but is also distinguished for being flexible, secure and social.

-Flexible

Store owners can use the App as either a live store or a storefront linking to their eCommerce site. When setting up their LunarStore store, merchants can opt to use the built-in PayPal or Amazon payment processing option (LunarMods charges a small transaction fee), or they can choose to have the product link to their existing site where they can use their own payment processing solution. Having this option gives businesses the freedom to choose how they would like to collect payments and does not force them to pay additional processing fees.

-Secure

LunarMods increases security over most eCommerce tools available to small-businesses. Recently hackers have stolen passwords and credit card numbers from big companies like Citibank and Sony. By using Facebook Connect for login, and PayPal or Amazon for payment processing; there are no copies of passwords or credit card data stored on LunarMods servers. The security teams at Facebook, PayPal, and Amazon are top-notch and you can rest assured that your information is securely protected only on their systems.

-Social

LunarStore has the best link-sharing tools available. It gives sellers access to direct links and Facebook sharing tools for every single product, right in the admin panel. Moreover, shoppers can ‘Like’ or share individual products with all their Facebook friends. With sharing tools for Sellers and Buyers, LunarStore maximizes social sharing and gives merchants the best chance to make their brands go viral across all social networks.

About LunarMods

LunarMods is building easy-to-use and simple tools to help businesses market on Facebook and social websites. The LunarStore App is the first in the series of modules that will be developed to help businesses promote and flourish using social media marketing.

8 Cool Marketing Campaigns Using Facebook Places

In the year or so since the launch of location-based Facebook Places, businesses have come up with some pretty creative marketing campaigns.

The check-in service allows brands to build their fan base while engaging and rewarding customers.  Facebook Places provides viral marketing for a company since every check-in shows up in the news feed of the user’s friends. It allows businesses to create incentives for those who come to their physical location or events.

Unlike Groupon and Living Social, Facebook Places lets you choose exactly how to structure your offer with no fee. You can build money-off vouchers or both individual and group discounts. You can choose how discounts are claimed (as in checking in a certain number of times) and how many times by it can be claimed. Charity offers can be created where donations are made based on the number of people checking in.

Here are eight Places campaigns that we think are worth highlighting.

Electronic Arts U.K. hosted a “Play4Xmas” tour at six different shopping malls across the UK in November and December. Those who checked in at each event had a chance to win up to 10 games per day.

Westfield Valley Fair in Santa Clara, Calif. has given away coupons like 25 percent off any single item at Sports Authority or 20 percent off full-priced items at Ann Taylor for checking in at the shopping center.

Nike teamed up with a Portland-based Korean taco truck to give away “Destroyer Burritos,” or fake burritos stuffed with branded athletic jackets, to those who checked in.

Onitsuka Tiger Australia was a sponsor of the Sydney Bicycle Film Festival and created a check-in point at each of 10 events. Festival attendees then checked in at their points instead of the actual venue because if they checked in at least three events and answered a question on their Facebook page, they had a chance to win a custom bike and Onitsuka Tiger gear. More than 50 percent of attendees checked in at the first event.

The University of Kentucky installed big, wooden Facebook icons on its campus to encourage students to check in at different locations around the school every day. Students used them to check in while on campus and at sporting events and the college is hoping it will help boost recruiting efforts for the students’ friends who are still in high school.

Instead of paying an arm and a leg for an exhibition table at the ITB Berlin (the world’s largest travel tradeshow), Germanwings used Facebook Places to create check-ins at each one of its competitors at the fair. When someone checked in at an airline’s booth, their status update would read something like “Air France: France for a bargain price is only available from Germanwings.” thanks to their hidden messages.

VisitBritain is a U.K. tourism promotion agency that has a “Top 50 U.K. Places” leaderboard on its fan page based on Facebook Places check-ins for the country’s landmarks.

Southwest Airlines did a holiday charity campaign last year where they made a $1 donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation per check-in at any Southwest airport, capped off at $300,000.
