Effective Use of Tabs
Tabs can be customized, and can feature a different
application on each tab. A Facebook Public Profile now
really acts as a microsite for your business.
Bonus! You can target social ads to hit different tabs of
your Public Profile!
The Settings Button Is Your Friend!
Settings allow you to customize where fans and
potential fans land when they find your page.
People who already love you can see something
different than people who are not yet your fans!
This provides a unique opportunity
Speak Directly To Your Fans-To-Be
Custom Landing Page
Custom space with a new
expanded width allows you to
welcome new fans with a
specific message geared
towards them.
Create coupons, contests,
offers, research papers, etc. -
VALUABLE content that they
receive when becoming a fan.
The Beautiful Boxes Tab
Boxes Tab is chock full of your
greatest stuff all your FBML,
custom applications, and
beyond

space with a lot of your most
important information.

The New Public Profile Wall
The Importance of Public Response
Follow the D.N.D. rule
DO NOT DELETE!
Unless a wall response has
hateful or offensive language,
the correct thing to do is
RESPOND.
Respond publicly, and
individually message
a follow up.
Far more people are looking at
Public Profile walls than
former fan pages.
And Don t Forget About:
STATUS UPDATES!
Companies can now update
their statuses .and it will
show up in the feeds of their
fans!!!
Hint: Be Like-able
The new Public Profile allows an organization to experience
the same instant viral effect that personal profiles
have thus eliminating the unnatural friending of
businesses that violate Facebook s Terms of Service.
Facebook Best Practices:
Make your Public Profile a place filled with valuable content.
Give your fans a reason to become fans.
Use updates to ask questions and elicit response, not
deliver press releases
Engage fans through creative content
Think of your page in terms of being for your fans, not being
for your brand
Hypertarget with Social Ads and with Updates
Give fans reasons to post content on your profile page
Worry less about developing a custom good application,
and worry more about creating good conversation
Monitor conversation
Thank and respond to the positive
Respond even more diligently to the negative!
