Setting A Default Landing Page On Your Facebook Timeline Page

 

WelcomeThere was a time when the best kept secret of Facebook pages was the fact that you could set up a custom tab with an opt-in form to your newsletter and set it as your default landing page. Businesses loved this as it boosted their fan base, and built their list at the same time.

The switch to Facebook Timeline pages has worried a lot of businesses as it seemed like this functionality was gone. According to the awesome article by All Facebook there are still ways to pretty much accomplish the same thing, just in a different format. Make sure to read their article to find out how to add this to your page!

Why do you as a wedding business want a different default landing page? Quite simply because it allows brides who land on your page the opportunity to get a better, more professional feel for your business, opt-in to your newsletter to stay connected, and gives them the possibility of getting a freebie from you for doing so (which boosts their loyalty to your business). Have you set a default landing page for your wedding business Facebook page and if so how did it work for you? Comment to let us know!

How To Optimize Your Facebook Business Page

 

Hopefully your business has a good business page already on Facebook. But is it working for you? If not it is very likely that you’ve fallen for the idea that your Facebook business page is like a website, all about sales. Mike does a good job reminding us that Facebook is more about social interaction than sales in his article on Pi Portent.

A couple of quick fixes you can do right now is to create a custom welcome tab. This is a way for you to gather contact information, offer something for free, and make brides feel like you care about them. There are free services out there to get you started and you can upgrade later. Also make sure you are posting lots of pictures of weddings that you are doing. There is nothing more motivational, or that sparks as much interaction as pictures. What do you think?
