Editor's Notes
Profile Picture
To avoid these pitfalls were going to show you how to do all of the following
Profile Picture
Profile pic size: 180 x 180 px. Use these dimensions to make sure your image doesn’t get distorted after uploading it to Facebook.Having your brand or business logo in your profile picture does wonders for top of the mind awareness and branding efforts throughout Facebook.Since every interaction that happens on the social network is tied back to a profile, your profile picture thumbnail shows up with every post, Like, Comment, message, or Share. This serves as an optimal visual cue for your fans and potential-fans to associate each of your Facebook interactions back to your company.Think of this like free advertising - your profile picture, along with the Page’s name, effectively brands every status update on Facebook from your page, regardless of where the viewer reads the update (e.g. their Newsfeed, your fan page, or from a mobile device)!Char-broil does a great job at keeping branding consistent all over their fan page. Check out their quality, branded profile pic.
