Facebook is one of the most popular web services online and should reach an incredible 1 billion users this year. That’s right: A billion users!

Marketing gurus over the past few years have been singing the praises of Facebook as one of the most effective ways to get new customers. The most popular way businesses promote themselves on Facebook is through a Facebook Page, often called a Fan Page.

Although Facebook encourages businesses to set up these Fan Pages, they don’t really give visitors much opportunity to find out more about you or to get to your website. Just check out any small business Fan Page for yourself and see how quickly you can find a way to contact the business, by visiting their website, by emailing them or by phone.

From the perspective of Facebook, it makes sense to make this process as difficult as possible so that you stay on their site and view the Facebook ads that provide their revenue.

So when a potential client reaches your Facebook Page you want to make it as easy as humanly possible for them to be able to contact you.

That’s why it’s vitally important that you create a custom banner for you Page, so they know instantly who you are and how to contact you.

Take a look at screen shots of these two Facebook Pages. Which therapists would you be most likely contact?

 

 

The one to the right, of course!

The phone number and website address in that custom banner catch the eye immediately. The branding is obvious. It’s clear what this business is and what they do. There is no hunting around trying to figure out how to contact this therapist. The website address and phone number are prominently displayed. And the top of the banner invites the visitor to “Like” the Page as it draws their eyes toward the Like button.

How do you get your own eye catching banner?

I was surfing through Facebook to find example of people who use banners effectively. Examples were difficult to find.

Then I started searching for designers or services who would create these. I had a difficult time finding any providers to refer you to. One I found charged a minimum of $50 and more were in the $80 to $100 range.

I have a full time graphic designer named Bryan on staff and I am setting aside a large portion of his time for several weeks to work on creating Facebook banners for you.

How much?

Just $20! That’s a price anyone can afford. And is a fraction of the price you would pay elsewhere.
