Facebook brand pages are emerging as an ideal platform for executing flash sales around products. In a recent study published jointly by the CMO Council. 79% of consumers say they are using social media to take advantage of special offers and discounts. Social customers expect products and promotions from the brands they engage with, and flash sales, done right, can serve to meet the expectations of Facebook brand fans.
