7 Tips for Using Facebook Timeline For Brands for Business

Your Cover Image: Whether it’s Timeline for Brands, or any other

brand marketing, first impressions are important. That’s why your

cover image should be something that grabs people. Taking any old

photo you have isn’t going to cut it. Be discriminatory about the image

you choose as a cover and make sure it speaks to your brand.

new, timely and brand specific. However, don’t wait too long. If you don’t have any ideas, get something up there. Something is better than nothing. You can hash out a better

design later.

for your applications that lend brand support. However, make sure the

images are simple and clear.

created on websites and social media, then do it with apps. This

inserts your brand, but allows you to try different applications.

Content is Paramount:

If you haven’t looked over your content lately, you need to. Ignoring content

isn’t uncommon because many people don’t know what they’re doing when

they set things up and they don’t always remember to come back and do it right later. Even if you think it’s fine, look it over again. You’ll probably see

things that you can change.

The Importance of Images:

Social networks are driven by photos these days. That’s why you should

choose select photos for your profile pictures, product descriptions and

other social media interactions. This helps to positively and continually promote a positive brand image.

It’s also worth noting that the most followed content on Facebook are

photos. This is why using them can be so effective. If you have a business

party or funny business meeting, take some photos and use them on social profiles. Upload them at once or over time to extend the life of the photos.

The choice is yours.

Have a Constant Presence:

Status updates and good content are vital to branding success, so don’t take

the lightly. You can get caught up in Edgerank and all sort of other stuff that supposedly ranks your content, but the

best option is focus on the needs of your followers and how you might be of

assistance to them and let the other stuff happen as it happens.

Remember as well to tend to your Facebook as well. Answer questions, update content and have a constant presence on you launched page. This

could take a little time to perfect, and it could be a bit taxing, but you don’t

want to leave people following you on Facebook hanging. Even if it’s just you running the business, promoting your

brand with is a round the clock job.
