Facebook Timeline!


So Facebook has changed once again only this time it’s the new Timeline setup. I must admit I am not a fan of this change. I haven’t gotten used to the excess amount of ads and the fact that people can see what I did the first day I got Facebook kind of freaks me out! Although I have strong opinions about the change I recently read an article titled “15 Must Know Tips to Rock Your New Facebook Timeline Business Page” and I’ve started learning some benefits that come from having the timeline. I am an intern at Rogue Vintage and promoting via Facebook is one of the things I do. Some of the tips were obvious like create a unique cover image and know the dates but others pertained to knowing the guidelines. You are allowed to but any branding images or logos up but there is to be no promotional items there (40% off or Download it at our website) also contact information, web address, email, or words such as like or share that permits call to action are allowed on the cover image. Another cool thing I found out is that fans can now send the business page private messages! This is an awesome way to communicate with fans on a more personal level. For instance sometimes we post promotional items on Facebook and when someone is interested they will comment underneath the post. Because Rogue Vintage sells one of a kind vintage clothing and accessories there aren’t more than one size of one item. With Facebook’s timeline customers are now able to ask (in private) about sizes if they choose to. This article helped me to understand some positives things about the new timeline and not to be annoyed with it but to embrace it and work it to your business’s advantage!
