Facebook 'fanpages' take quality designs to work for businesses
22.05.12
Facebook is expected to surpass 1 billion users worldwide before the end of this year. According to Alexa.com, Facebook is the second-most popular website on the Internet, after Google itself. Although most businesses know how popular Facebook is, very few know how to use it to promote their business. Most simply throw up a fanpage haphazardly and hope that will be enough to attract likes.
Although a Facebook fanpage can be a powerful marketing tool, it isn’t enough just to create one and hope people will like it. That’s about as effective as making a website and hoping people will visit it without you promoting it.
Here are some tips to ensure you create a fanpage that actually goes viral:
• Start with a sleek design. You need to design a large, eye-catching banner to make your fanpage stand out. Most businesses simply upload their logo as the banner for their fanpage, but that often ends up looking small and unnoticeable. If you want to catch the interest of Facebook users, you need to start with a visual BANG.
