im  the admin  on  our  facebook page along with one other…. i also have a personal page….both with the same website i assume…..  when i post on my   store page  i dont  usually   go  to the  button that says use as green oak   not ann…i keep my personal  identity……  my posts  still  go thru  on   the store page  with the store logo….. so my  question is  ….IS THERE ANY REASONI NEED TO SWITCH TO  ~ USE AS GREENOAK.~.. when im  posting on the store page?  

thanks

I think doing that is fine, @annfurnivall.  The one thing you miss out on is seeing the notifications for your Page up at the top and you also have to be careful if you want to Like another Page as your Page so you can get that Page’s posts into your Page News Feed rather than your personal News Feed.  If you are logged in as you, you will be liking the other Page as your profile rather than your Page.  
But other than that, it’s fine!

@annfurnivall, I can’t help but wonder to what extent your traffic might increase if you were to interact more with other antiques/collectibles pages.  As someone who’s in the business (where we can be selling anything from advertising to vanity on any given day), it’s been my experience that connecting with that one buyer who might be looking for that one particular item is much more of a challenge than, say, a business that sells a particular product or type of product and can be easily tracked down via any means. 

Of course, if you don’t have an online store, that might make your goals and needs different.

I’ve periodically featured items offered by sale by some of my trusted dealer friends (“Flashback’s Featured Friends”) who themselves face the challenges of having an independent (non-online-mall) website.  In turn, they periodically provide me a bit of a boost, and in the process I’ve gained collector fans I’m not sure I would have otherwise gained, except through paid Facebook advertising.

@annfurnivall ~ I feel much the same.  On our pages (golf courses), I have “Liked” State and National golf associations and things like that . . . but I don’t “Like” our competition.  I will eventually “Like” local businesses (restaurants and such), but not until I’ve actually eaten at them and truly believe that I’m giving a recommendation that I stand behind.

As to your original post . . . I rarely use facebook as a page.  I do it the way you do it.
