The Apprehension of Adopting to the New Facebook Fan Page Timeline

You’re not a high-tech business these days unless you have a Facebook Fan Page.  But I have to say, adopting to the new FB timeline for my consulting business fan page has brought on a little apprehension.

Why?  Well, I didn’t really know how the new format would look and what the new features would do, but at the same time, I was really looking forward to exploring a new way to present my business to the online world.

Well, today’s the day… I got ‘Timelined’… and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at the new layout and the new features.

I love the large space given to the cover image.  It’s so visually appealing and allows me to instantly present a clear visual about my business.  I also like that the placement of the tabs is more intuitive, and it just seems easier for people’s eyes to fall on them versus when they were on the left nav.

Check out how these companies are using their FB Fan Page to their advantage:

My challenge now is to think of more creative ways to use this big space and the available tabs, especially since there’s been a big shift towards representing your business with photos (Pinterest anyone?) and videos.

So, come back often and see what changes my fan page has undergone as I explore and try out the different options available.
