UPDATE - May 1, 2020 at 12:00PM PT If you’re looking for up-to-date resources, tips, training and more to help you stay open and connected to customers during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, visit our Business Resource Hub. For other information about the programs and products we’ve designed for businesses, visit Facebook for Business.

There are now more than 40 million active small business Pages on Facebook. As that community continues to grow, we’re committed to helping each business achieve its goals.
That’s why earlier this year we launched Ads Manager app and built creative and educational resources for small business marketers. Now we’re announcing two new ways for Facebook marketers to connect with us: our 2015 Boost Your Business program and online chat support.
Boost Your Business Program
We’re hitting the road again to talk to small businesses around the world about ways they can grow their business. And this year we’re going even bigger. The 2015 Boost Your Business program is comprised of both half-day and 2-hour pop-up events, each focused on bringing small businesses together to share best practices and hear about the latest marketing strategies and tools.
For this year’s half-day Boost Your Business events in the US, we’re partnering with Facebook marketing pro Mari Smith, as well as MailChimp, Shopify, Visa and Zenefits to add their expertise and guidance to the program. We’ll be visiting San Diego, Minneapolis, Nashville and Boston.
New online chat support
Businesses that advertise on Facebook now have access to one-on-one support through live online chat. By clicking “Get Help” on the Facebook for Business website, advertisers can chat and screen share with a trained Ads Specialist to get quick answers to their Facebook advertising questions.
Live chat on desktop will roll out to the US, UK and Ireland now and then to more countries later in the year. We’ll also test mobile chat and phone support this year and will announce new support channels as they become available.
Helping businesses grow
We’re committed to helping small businesses succeed on Facebook so they can grow and contribute to their communities. We’ll share more updates in the coming months as we continue to build more resources for marketers.
