It happens all the time, and you'll never get any advance warning. One day you'll just go to your page and it won't be there.
What if your clients go looking for your page and it's not there? They'll probably assume you closed it down and are no longer in business, while this could be far from the truth.
If you don't have a big following, or are just starting out, this may not be a big deal. You just start over. But...if you have a large following and your business depends on your fan page to thrive...it could be catastrophic!
So, take a look at the list below and see if you're in compliance. If you aren't, take steps to make the necessary changes before you get 'busted'...
Here’s what you
need to know…
The Ten Commandments of Facebook Fan Pages
- Thou shall not have pricing information in your
cover
photo.
- Thou shall not have purchase information in your
cover photo.
- Thou shall not have discount or coupon information
in
your cover photo.
- Thou shall not have any ‘call to action’ (i.e.
Get It
Now’, Tell Your Friends, Join Our Club, etc)
information in your cover photo.
- Thou shall not have any contact information in
your
cover photo.
- Thou shall not put any references to Facebook
features i.e. ‘Like My Page’ or ‘Share’ in
your cover
photo.
- Thou shall not have any false representations in
your
cover photo.
- Thou shall not have any deceptive or misleading
information in your cover photo.
- Thou shall not use any copyrighted photos or
graphics in your cover photo unless you hold
the
copyright.
- Thou shall not infringe on any third parties’
intellectual
property in your photo.
Violate any of
these rules (among others) and you run the
risk of Facebook
shutting your Fan Page down without
warning.
If you don’t have
a page, or you have a casual following, that
may not be a big
deal to you.
But, if your Fan Page
is business critical, you could lose
$1000s…maybe even
the business itself.
I know what the
rules are, and I can help you prevent a
disaster.
On the other
hand, if you don’t have a Fan Page…you
should create
one, or have us create it for you.
No matter how big
or how small your business or cause is,
you should have a
Facebook Fan Page, create and use your
vanity name, and
invite people to ‘Like’ your page.
It helps
establish your credibility and presence on the web,
especially if you
don’t have a website!
Need some help
sorting things out, let me know.
If don’t have a
fan page but would like to have
one, send me a
message. I can set it up for you.
