Facebook Timeline Covers
How do you use your Facebook Timeline Covers?
Your Facebook timeline cover is prime real estate that you can use to speak to your audience. Here are ten ideas for using a Facebook timeline cover to promote your brand and speak to your audience. I’ve also got five Facebook timeline covers free to download and use however you desire, but more on those in a bit. Before we get to the freebie of the day I thought I’d share a few of my favorite ways to use my Facebook timeline cover.
Brand Recognition
The best and most common way to use a Facebook timeline cover is for personal branding and brand recognition. Using your colors and logo is a simple but effective way to gain some recognition from people who visit your profile.
Product Promotions
Display your featured product right next to your photo. Every time someone visits your profile your latest sale, featured product, or current promotion will be front and center. Put your best stuff here. Consider featuring your best selling products. These are tested winners, use them to attract people to your website.
Promote your Services
What do you do? Share services you offer on your timeline cover. This doesn’t have to be a laundry list of everything you offer. Use an elevator pitch to get your point across or highlight one service and don’t forget to bring up the impact with an image.
As a Business Card
If you have a brick and mortar business add your address, phone number and even a map to your location. The easier you make it for a potential client to contact you the better. If you’re a freelancer, your facebook cover is another way to promote your business to people you meet in Facebook groups and to new acquaintances. Personally, I always check out personal profiles for people I meed in Facebook groups. Especially if they helped me with a problem. You never know.
Other Social Networks
Not everyone is selling something but if you’re trying to build your following so that you can sell something in the future then use this space to promote your other social profiles. If you don’t have a website or you’re not selling anything just yet this space is perfect to get people to follow you elsewhere. This is especially helpful if you have a Youtube channel. Featuring your channel on Facebook can lead to new subscribers, fans and ultimately an established audience.
Announcements
Do you need to highlight special events and promotions that are date specific? Tell people about it on your Facebook timeline cover. Before you know it this could be the go-to place for finding out what’s happening in your world.
Social Proof
What better way to display social proof than on social media? If you’ve been featured in a prominent publication, show display their love for you here. If you write for an exclusive magazine or blog let everyone know about it on your timeline cover.
Share Your Causes
Take a stand. Share your values and the causes that are most important to you by displaying them on your timeline cover. Change the cover to reflect events for your charities and causes. Any way we can support the things we feel passionate about will help spread the word.
Inspiration
Inspire others or make a statement about yourself, your business or the things you value most with quotes and inspirational messages. Your Facebook timeline cover is personal so use it to talk about yourself and to inspire others.
