Facebook seems to change every single day. Lately I’ve turned my attention to the relatively new facebook fan pages. The facebook fan page is definitely the way to go if you have a business and need a presence on facebook for several reasons. Lately I’ve been experimenting with designing custom facebook fan pages. My inspiration was the Gap Facebook Fan page. I saw that they had all kinds of flash video and a nicely designed custom page. I took to the task of designing one for my uncle’s business Bruening Glass Works.
I just tried to use whatever was on his homepage. The result is pretty cool. If you look at the design I’ve added to the post, you can see that I have incorporated his contact us form and also his youtube video. So if you find him on facebook or just by googling him, you can contact him from facebook. I think the youtube video (which I shot and edited) helps bring out his personality and allows him to demonstrate his expertise. After all, if you are going to ship him your priceless glass item, you would want to trust him.
A custom facebook fan page can help you stand out among your competitors and impress your customers. If you would like to know more about the process, please leave a comment or contact me. In the meantime, I’m looking forward to more expermenting with facebook fan pages. Please check out the Bruening Glass Facebook Page.
Very cool John. It still has the clean look that users would expect from Facebook but it has enough personalization to it to make it stick.
Would love to see the facebook page you created, but the link doesn’t go anywhere for me.
