Instagram and Facebook tips:

• Follow everyone in your business universe. Know the local design community. Read the trade magazines. Tag when you can and make sure to research relevant/popular # for your specialty.
• Follow us, tag us! @decasohome
• Color, video and faces get attention. As do Carousels.
• Individual product shots don’t tend to perform as well. § Tell a story vs selling a product.
• Create a strong call to action in your profile.

DID YOU KNOW?

The more the merrier?

The more product you post on DECASO, the better. Since you do not pay per item, having more product on the site helps with Search Engine Optimization, internal site searches and getting noticed through all the marketing channels. We can help you post anything you need.

Product descriptions are *everything*?

Writing accurate, detailed and differentiating copy for your product descriptions makes all the difference in Search Engine Optimization success as well as general site searches. There are thousands of pieces out there and your copy can help your product get discovered – algorithms do not search images.

The CONTACT DEALER button is private?

When someone clicks the Contact Dealer on a product page, this auto-generates an email from their email to yours. (It is important that your email in your account settings is always up to date). When the dealer responds to the interested party (and all further correspondence) remains private; DECASO has no exposure to content within.
