  All great empires branch out far and wide and this is exactly what we are trying to do with your digital network. Facebook plays a part in this network and will build faith and trust to customers to show you have a presence on Facebook and a following with possibly customer reviews. Remember consumers would rather leave reviews on a platform they already trust and have a login to than sign up to your personal website with yet another login that they may use only once or twice.

- Separate your content into tabs
  Understanding exactly what you can and cant do with content and a company Facebook page is key to its future performance. For example did you know that you can list upcoming events, list the groups that you link to your page, showcase live videos, document notes, highlight offers, state your services and USP’s and also features products in a light shop style layout. Our advice is to add as much content as you can that suits such tab categories and keep the content updated and mentioned in your social posts.

- Keep your social channel visually fresh
  Your icons, company logo and branding will always subconciously log your business as a constant. We would recommend refreshing your social channel header and profile picture every quarter, even if its minor changes to suit ongoing marketing. Most businesses will have a busy marketing strategy with regular campaigns and so this type of key promotion content should take a lead with uploads and refreshing your social channels content.

- Image real-estate is the golden ticket to promotion

You are free to advertise your products and services via this space and its handy to promote any potential offers. In this case your page profile picture and page headers are the best areas for advertising graphics.
