Facebook Forcing Business Page Updates

Stay Ahead of the Curve

Facebook is an ever-changing beast and this morning, they announced that it won't be changing anytime soon. As of March 30th, Facebook will REQUIRE the upgrade of your business' Facebook page to the new "Timeline" format. This comes on the heel of the update to the personal Facebook pages that was highly scrutinized. Although we don't agree with the personal page changes, this Timeline feature for Business Pages could be GREATLY beneficial for promoting your brand and its products.

New Features
1) Brand Your PageAdd a unique cover photo and showcase your most important news on your Page timeline. This will allow you to showcase your brand and products as you like. The only thing you really can't do is use the spot for advertising of any type. That's against Facebook Policy.

Example: Here's Starbucks' cover photo showcasing their coffee bens

2) Highlight What MattersPin a new post to the top of your Page each week so people notice what's important. We've all made cool posts about stuff that got really good reaction from fans and followers and wished we could post it at the top for a while. Well, now you can prioritize for those important posts and information.

3) Manage Everything in One Place
See and respond to your recent activity and private messages right from the top of your Page. Most people are sick of trying to keep a hundred logins and keep up with how to administer their pages. Now you can do all of it from the top of your business page. Saving you time!
