Facebook changed to the new timeline features on your fan pages already. All profile pages will be effective soon. So, avoid playing catch up.

Let’s have a quick look at these points, to help your fan page succeed.

Set the cover and profile photos.

Your profile photo should be no smaller than 180 pxls by 180 pxls.

The large band of a cover photo should be no smaller than 850 pxls wide and 315 pxls high.

Make sure these express the lifestyle of your brand. This is NOT advertising real estate.

Add milestones

Use this space to share when your company was founded, employees birthdays or a product launch.

Post Daily

Yes, people still ask whether they should post once a week or once a month. *gasp* Imagine not communicating with any customers for an entire day in your business. Did you take the day off? Are you on an exotic holiday? Maybe down with the flu? Even if you were, would you put the ‘closed’ sign on the door?
