Turn Your Welcome Tab Into a Branding Magnet The welcome tab is an optional feature that you can add to your Facebook page and as the name implies, it's the first tab that potential fans will see when they visit your page.
Here is how can you use it for optimal branding:
- Instead of keeping the default "Welcome" title on the tab, use your brand name instead
- Make sure to invest in creating an eye-catching and compelling design for this tab that "entices" visitors to like your page
- I couldn't stress enough of on the importance of including a promotional video of your brand on this tab as it means getting the best of worlds: video marketing and Facebook marketing
- The key target of your welcome tab is encouraging visitors to like your page.
It's not recommended to have too many "calls to actions" on this tab as it would confuse first-time visitors.
You may add another one or two at maximum like subscribing to your mailing list in return for a freebie, visiting your website for special promotions and so forth - Link to your other social profiles on this page to make it easier for your visitors to follow you on Twitter, connect with you on LinkedIn...
etc.
Whichever idea(s) you decide to implement, make sure they reflect your brand authenticity.
If you do, you will turn your Facebook page into a branding and viral marketing machine! Good luck!
