You can customize what section of your larger profile image appears as the “mini thumbnail” by clicking on “Edit Your Profile Picture” and then selecting “Edit Thumbnail.
Custom Facebook Business Page Profile Graphic
Create a custom graphic for your business profile
Did you know that your Facebook profile graphic can be up to 200 pixels wide and 600 pixels tall? Businesses can take advantage of this extra space to include contact information, taglines and slogans.
We recently created this Facebook profile image for our client BodiFresh™ which includes their logo, product image, tagline and contact information.
Secure a Vanity Username
If your page has at least 25 fans, you can secure a custom ‘vanity username’ for your Facebook page. This means your Facebook business page can have a URL like www. facebook.com/sangfroidweb instead of www.facebook.com/pages/SangFroid-Web-Design/106051112765235.
If you are an administrator of a Facebook Page, you can choose your username at www.facebook.com/username just like a user selecting a username for their profile. On this page, there is a link to “Set a username for your Pages” underneath where you set your own personal username.
For more information on Facebook business pages, visit the Facebook Help Center page concerning business pages.
Add Custom Tabs
Businesses can use custom Facebook tabs to communicate additional information to their customers. Examples of this include highlighting special offers, listing store locations, or offering an email list sign up to name just a few.
Next week, Facebook will be implementing some changes to the general Facebook business page layout to include:
- Boxes are going away, including the Boxes tab; and
- All custom tabs will be narrowed to 520 pixels. If you have a custom tab, we recommend you visit your tab now for a preview of how your content fits in the new layout — please make adjustments as needed. The rest of Facebook will see the old tab width until August 23.
If you have an existing Facebook business page with custom tabs, review your tabs in the new layout to be sure the information will still look acceptable.
Happy Facebooking!
