Create a Facebook Landing Page For Your Fan Page

With so much bland blue and white covering the pages of Facebook, having a custom Facebook Landing Page for your Fan Page or Business Page is a great way to impress new visitors and capture more "likes".

By default, new visitors to your Facebook Page land on your Wall, which doesn't have a clear message and can appear cluttered. Instead, to ensure that you are doing the most for strengthening your brand on Facebook, it is vital that you set up a custom landing page.

This all may sound nice, and it is, but if you aren't familiar with design, programming, or the behind-the-scenes workings of your Facebook Page, it can be a little tricky. By using an application called FaceItPages, it is easy to create a custom Facebook Landing Page of your own! Check out the details and tips below.

To create a custom Facebook landing page (also called "custom tabs"), visit www.FaceItPages.com and sign up to get started. The site has several different layouts to choose from so it's easy to find one that will work for any business or brand.

Once you choose a layout, you can add images, videos, and content to personalize the design. You will also be able to customize the look with different color options.

After choosing a layout, you will be able to fully customize the content and appearance of your landing page by adding different modules to your design.

Modules range from content, images, and videos to Twitter and blog feeds, promotions, contact forms and more. Pretty much anything you need to customize your design and capture fans is right there for the picking.

Any business person knows how important branding is, and you will also be able to add your own logo, colors, and header image to your Facebook landing page.

Once you've chosen the layout, added your content, and previewed your design, there's only one thing left to do... add it to your Facebook Page! This is the easiest part of all, since FaceItPages takes you over to Facebook and guides you to add your design to your Page in a few clicks.

Add the FaceItPages application and select the Facebook Page you would like the design added to (there will be a dropdown box at Facebook). Voila! Your custom landing page has arrived.

At this point, your custom Facebook Landing Page is installed and ready to go, but if you want your visitors to land here first, you need to set it as the default landing tab. Click "Edit Page" on the top right corner of your page, then click "Apps" from the menu on the left. In the FaceItPages App settings, rename your new tab to whatever you'd like (eg. "Welcome", "Promotions", etc.).

To make sure new visitors land on this page first, be sure to set it as your "Default Landing Tab" from the "Manage Permissions" option of the admin edit area.

While people who already "like" your Facebook Page will always go to your Wall first, any new visitors will now be directed to your custom Facebook Landing Page!

With your new Facebook Landing Page all set up, your Fan Page or Business Page will stand out in the sea of boring blue and white. Try adding several landing tabs with different messages to see which ones attract the most fans and convert the best!
