Editor’s note: This article was first published in December 2011. Facebook’s “more than 800 million users” is a 2011 figure, and the pricing models described, a fixed monthly fee for LinkedStore and a commission per sale for Getnovelo, are from that time.
Facebook has become a huge shop window full of potential customers for online stores, since it lets you reach more than 800 million users. Having a website is no longer enough: the products on your website now need to be on Facebook too.
Some time ago I wrote about LinkedStore, a service I thought was excellent, both for creating an online store without any programming knowledge and for integrating that store into Facebook. Today we’re looking at a new free* service for setting up your store on Facebook easily: Getnovelo.com.
*As we said, no upfront investment is required, although Getnovelo does charge a commission on each sale made through its service.
So we have two options: with LinkedStore you pay a fixed monthly fee, and with Getnovelo there’s no fee, but there is a commission. It’s a matter of working out which option suits you best, since both services seem quite professional from what I’ve been able to see.
