Why adding a splash page and custom fields to your company Facebook page is important

When most people think about improving their social media, they really don’t consider a social media design strategy that will be beneficial to their overall social media campaign. Embedded herein is a Youtube video discussing the benefits of installing a Facebook splash page and custom Facebook tabbed fields.

As you can see in the video, Fastpivot graphic designers created this page as an introductory branding page meant to give first time visitors an idea of who homerunmonkey.com is.

Without a custom Facebook splash page design install, first time visitors would be thrown directly onto a company’s wall (this is where the company can share its news and fans can post comments). Without 24/7 moderation you could be dropping new visitors into conversation they don’t understand, a negative discussion, or if you’ve just started your Facebook, nothing at all. That really isn’t the best place to drop new visitors, as you don’t have nearly the same amount of control over the first impression you’re giving potentially new customers. Remember first impression is everything. Creating a visually stimulating page that makes clear what it is that your company is about is a good way to let new visitors ease into your social space without feeling immediately turned off or overwhelmed.

As you can also see we have added some custom Facebook company page fields as well. Since Homerunmonkey.com has mountains of popular and professionally created product video, it’s important that they are able to share that with their one thousand plus fans. And because retail is ultimately about fulfilling customer needs in the absolute best way possible, FastPivot designers also added a promotions field to their Facebook page. These fields are present even after the fan goes on to “Like” Homerunmonkey.com and enters in the wall area where the discussion is taking place.
