SMART FACEBOOK TIMELINE COVER PAGES
Facebook has become a whole heap of fun and now allows for visual assets to be displayed on a large scale. This means that your business now can have the equivalent of a secondary website on the world’s largest social media platform - for free!!
Via the branded/business page feature, your business can now display images, people and product in a visual format that was not possible before. Here are some do’s and dont’s
- You cannot use a call-to-action such as “Like or share”. This is against Facebook’s new policy of cover photos (Source).
- Explain what you’re about in a short and understanding manner. We are “Cats and Dogs” and we will babysit your loved pets while you’re on holiday!
- Make your cover image and profile picture thumbnail interact with each other. We have included some really great Facebook Cover page examples which you might find inspiring.
- Background design. User your corporate visual identity and colors to distinguish yourself from your competitors. Use your own products or perhaps feature a group picture of your entire customer sales team. Be original!
Visual content
In essence, Facebook Timeline is a lot more focused on visual depiction than the old fan pages that we are used to. Consider the following:
Display events such as when your company was founded.
Go back in time and gather information about when were important products/services launched. Add a neat looking visual and voila!
Make sure you add images to these events and furthermore, make sure you select the right kind of images to tell the story of your brand. If you don’t have any good pictures to go with these events, now is a good time to start photoshopping.
Stay tuned, next week we will bring you a check list for you to follow.
