Should Online Sellers Tag People on Their Products on Facebook?

Pin It
I am an online seller.  I have my own site which is Lucky Cow Shop.  I have some products uploaded on Sulit.  I also have a Multiply account.  Most of my buyers came from Google search which I am so happy because I don't really need to go to forums, mingle with other girls just to get sales.  Buyers found me by searching on the Internet.

Later on, I found out that I'm so outdated.  There are actually online sellers who opt to sell through Facebook.  I later on decided to create one.  I didn't created a new account.  I created a page where people can hit the "like" button and be updated whenever I post something.

I didn't get sales out of my Facebook until I came to learn that I have to tag friends on the pictures.  I start tagging them, until I saw something in a forum that they don't like it when online sellers tag them with their products.

I started to feel shame and tag only myself, as one of the sellers is doing that strategy.  She tag herself so her friends can see what she's selling.  And tagging on photos must only be related to the person tagged, meaning if it's a photo that they would really want to see.

I felt myself, what do I feel when an online seller tags me with the photos of their product?  It actually feels like "unhappy" because the seller seems to advertise through my facebook account.

So I don't tag friends anymore.  I only tag myself.
