As a wedding planner, do you need tips to help you attract more brides and boost Facebook engagement? I recently attended Facebook’s “Boost Your Business Women’s Day” event aimed at helping small business women use Facebook to market their businesses. I received some great tips that I have customized to help you increase your Facebook engagement.
