Facebook fans: Are you seeing us in your feed?
Do you miss seeing Jive Time Records’ reviews, music polls, and other vinyl-related posts in your Facebook feed?
Some of the feedback we’ve been getting in our store is that some of you on Facebook are no longer seeing our posts as regularly. We still post daily! Facebook requires that you “like” or comment” occasionally so that it knows you wish to see our content. It’s part of their effort to keep your feed relevant to your interests. (Don’t worry we never post spam, and we keep store-related news to bare minimum — it’s all about the music.)
Just visit our page and “like” or comment occasionally and we’ll soon return to your feed! Visit our Page›
