It’s been a long-time coming and apparently Facebook feels that the time is right. It is starting to allow businesses to promote their services and products through Shopping and Services sections on Facebook Pages.
The sections have not rolled out widely yet, but Shopping seems to be available only in “high-growth and emerging markets” for the time being – So far they have been spotted in Asia and South America – in countries like Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, India, Thailand, Brazil and Argentina.
The Shopping section on Pages allow businesses to promote products they sell through their page. Users can look through the products and make offers to the business through Messenger. The Services sections are available globally and will be tolling out to all Pages in “the coming weeks.” They will be available to Pages that provide professional services.
