Expand Your Reach: Use Facebook Collaborators

Want to get your products and brand in front of thousands of potential new customers across New Zealand—without spending a cent on Facebook ads? Using Facebook post collaborators is one of the easiest ways to unlock extra exposure for your business.

How Collaborations Work for Hive Vendors

When you create or schedule a post on Facebook or Meta Business Suite, you can invite another page to join as a co-author. Once accepted, the post appears directly on both of your page timelines, pooling likes, comments, and shares into one single post.

Within our marketplace collective, you can use this in two key ways:

• 1. Tagging The Hive NZ as a Collaborator: You are welcome to add @thehivenz as a collaborator on your own product posts or announcements. We love supporting our vendors and will accept invitations whenever the content fits our current social schedule! Please note that to keep our page feed balanced and fair for everyone in our collective, there are limits on how often we can accept collaborator requests from a single business.
• 2. Collaborations Initiated by Us: When we create a dedicated social media post showcasing your business (especially for our Pro+ Boost vendors), we will often tag your page as a collaborator. We won’t send you an email or message to notify you. You will need to keep a close eye on your Facebook business page notifications (the bell icon) so you can catch the invite and accept it promptly!
