As a supplier, I sometimes find myself wondering how far I can go in plugging our products without upsetting anyone.
I use Facebook a lot, where I have a business page and on that anything goes. I share quite a lot of my posts with various other FB A7 groups, but I try to do this in the form of news items that (I hope) are of general interest, albeit with a clear commercial connection. I draw the line at "Save ££££££ on this week's special offer!!!!!"
I recently affectionately likened this Forum to an old-fashioned gentlemen's club, where discussion of anything so vulgar as commerce, along with politics, religion and sex, would be considered beyond the pale. For this reason, I only mention my products and services when it's relevant to a discussion, or when I need to tap the gold mine of knowledge here for specific information needed to enable us to accurately carry out a job in hand.
