Fan Pages: Standard vs. Custom? [OPINION]

When I began creating fan pages, I admit to staying away from custom pages. This is mainly because I know too little html and frame code, and the iframe apps that are "code-only" favor the knowledgeable while having no mercy on the rest.

However, if you scour the daily bombardment of social media information like me, you will have no doubt found that creating custom fan pages are becoming easier to create due to some very helpful applications.


There are many click, drag and save type of applications popping up all the time, paid and free. Once upon a time, creating a website had eluded the novice designer, but now it's easy as pie. I can guess the customization of fan pages will follow the same evolution.


How do existing and potential customers view fan pages? If they have a genuine interest in page content, do they even care whether a fan page is customized or not? Does it matter?

Solidifying your Social Media Presence Gets Serious!

Beyond the standard maintenance routine is where aspects of social media management get deep, especially when it comes to building your audience and maintaining an online community that's relevant and reputable.

There was a time when a business would place a new ad in the paper, sit back, and wait. Now, due to the social media boom, it's just not enough. People are talking and deciding what to consume based on the experiences and advice of their peers, and more importantly, based on relationships they form with businesses through social media.

Because of this, it's crucial for your business to tap into the information being shared about your market, and become apart of the very information being shared.  Some of the ways this is done is by:

• Monitoring your market's social space
• Maintaining your brand loyalty, image and reputation
• Creating relevant content 
• Rewarding brand loyalty and advocacy
• Customer support
• Analyzing what works and what doesn't
• Profile and community optimization
