Gettin’ Social with Custom Facebook Welcome Tabs

By July 29, 2011 2 Comments

From fashion to plumbing, a few of our client’s Facebook pages (along with our own) got a fresh new look in the form of custom welcome pages, which make a great first impression on non-fans & are vital tools for boosting Likes & supporting organizational goals.

The default welcome page for most businesses’ Facebook presence is the wall, however, there is a more inviting way to welcome new visitors to your page. According to Jason Guck the advantage of a custom-designed landing tab is that you can create the first impression, directly ask visitors to become a fan, take a particular action or give an instant snapshot of what your company has to offer.

Facebook landing pages can be used to:

  • Introduce your organization &  reinforce branding efforts
  • Grab the attention of your visitors and encourage them to ‘Like’ your page
  • Show what makes you unique & offer value at a glance
  • Promote specific campaigns, programs, or events
  • Enhance important calls to action or company goals

Your welcome page doesn’t have to be static either; it can change according to the direction of your business’s activities.
