Facebook Deals – Buy, Sell and Market Products

Facebook Deals gives your business the opportunity to offer people unique social experiences that they can do with their friends. This encourages people to share their excitement about the experience you’re providing, not just the discount you’re offering. For example, some businesses may offer people a 5-course tasting menu, a rock climbing lesson, or a concert package.

Deals is a valuable new way for you to reach customers, build loyalty, and drive sales. Deals will be available for people to purchase on Facebook. Deals is currently in a limited test in 5 US cities – Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, San Diego and San Francisco.
