Is anyone seeing the product posts I make EVERY day? Or, is FB succeeding in keeping these posts from all of you because I am not dropping $140.00 a week on advertising? If you are not seeing the product posts I make daily and you are one of the few people who actually follow my business page because of what I offer in resin then I would kindly suggest you start visiting the page more frequently before I am forced to shut the business down. At this rate (2 small sales in 2 weeks) through FB is not sustainable or even worth my time keeping this page up. Say goodbye to the daily random picture posts too since there won't be a reason to do that any longer either.

i don't think selling is allowed under current house rules, but it's being debated under new business [here]

Kieth Marks has a Photo Sharing Site where he posts his Decals and contact info. Could this work for you?

I don't use Face book much. When I have tried to look at a company's products, I can never find a listing or purchase info.

It's a shame, but a lot of people have offered suggestions and solutions for him for marketing or different avenues to show his product and he has shot down every single one of them. He doesn't want to make new molds, he doesn't want to pay for advertising, he doesn't want to maintain a website, he doesn't want to do this, he doesn't want to do that. Someone will suggest something and he just says "why would I do that, it's not worth it". He has a limited offering in a new world of 3D printing and despite having great products, he's got to adapt somehow. If he wants to stick to what he's doing and the way he is doing it, there is nothing wrong with that, but going on pages and guilt tripping people into buying his stuff is just not the way to do it. This is far from the first time. If your business can't survive because you aren't getting enough attention on Facebook, then that's on you.

If he had a Fordor that wasn't chopped, I'd be there for it.

But, I don't want a chopped kit, so no sale.

I'm sorry his business is failing.

Well it looks like Keith is out of the decal business too. One of the members here posted last week that Keith told him that his order would be the last set of decals he would be printing.

It's a shame but that's how it goes in this hobby. If you want something get it when you see it because it might not be there tomorrow.

Very bad news

I think this is a important point. The market has changed drastically over the last decade. If you've got a handful of products, are advertising on the free side of Facebook, and don't have any web presence, then someone with a decent 3D printer, some free time and an Etsy or eBay store is probably going to eat your lunch.

I have a number of Drag City hoods and tops, but I purchased them all through a vendor (mainly as add ons). Sending a PM through Facebook is not the way to do business these days.
