How to Prepare

Gather Photos, Videos and other content

                                          You'll be able to upload an
                                          unlimited number of photos.
                                          The most important is the
                                          profile picture that Facebook
                                          users will see (as a
                                          thumbnail) in News Feed
                                          when their friends interact
                                          with you.

                                          A logo, storefront, or group
                                          photo may work well. Make
                                          sure the image is still clear
                                          when reduced to thumbnail
                                          size.

                                             Updating your Page regularly
                                             with fresh photos, upcoming
                                             events, and the latest promotions
                                             means your Page won't just look
                                             like a profile, it will feel like one,
                                             and that will keep users coming
                                             back.




Facebook users are used to getting information sorted by what happened
most recently or that’s most relevant. If you keep your Page active, which
you can do through mobile integrations and applications, you'll find that
your fans are more engaged and more interactive.
