Facebook Fans are Great for your SCUBA Business
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I want to talk about…Facebook. Sorry, couldn’t really come up with anything St. Patrick’s related. There’s some liquor ads in this vintage SCUBA ads article if you’re so inclined 🙂

Even if you don’t offer discounts and promotions to your SCUBA diver (why not?), they still want to connect with you because they’re a customer of your SCUBA business, they want to show support, it’s fun, to stay up to date and to feel like part of a community.
Setting up a Page is incredibly easy and in the coming weeks, I’ll be taking you through a guided tour from first signing up to some advanced customization techniques.
