One of the top questions we receive from customers of all kinds is “what do I put on a Facebook tab?”

The answer is easy if you know the right answers to a few of the most important questions to be successful online, offline and in business.

What you need to know:

Your audience. Who are they?
Your audience’s needs. What keeps them up at night?
What are your business goals?

How much time do you have?
How much time does your audience have?
Do you have access to a designer?
If an agency or consultant, how much time and money does your client have?

Website ReSizer – the Total Web Solution for Facebook Pages

Website ReSizer App

New Engagement App for Fan Pages from TabSite

This is BIG!

TabSite (http://www.tabsite.com), the industry leader in Facebook fan page management, offers a custom social engagement application, Website ReSizer, available to businesses and organizations of all sizes to bring in perfectly sized web pages to a Facebook tab.

It’s a solution for every company that spent money investing in their website and then wished they had the same functionality on their Facebook page.

Now you can! Simply add the website to your fan page tab, resize to your liking so it all fits nicely, and publish!

No more gaudy iframe scroll bars! Most websites are at least 1000 pixels wide while Facebook tabs maximum width is 810 pixels. This difference led to iframed sites in tabs that had bad scroll bars and poor user experience. NO MORE! Now, add any web page, shopping cart, landing page, blog, etc. to a Facebook tab and use the TabSite Website ReSizer app to make it fit! Allow fans to shop from your website right on Facebook! Wow!

Here’s a real example of Mike’s Social Media Examiner post embedded into a Tab on Facebook. (Like Gate added for fan gating.)

Website ReSizer is available at the Platinum Plan TabSite level. Think of the powerful uses:

Add e-commerce to your Facebook page tab easily
Create specific Product pages on tabs for purchase/download of one product from your website
Grow your Facebook fan community by adding your site and directing fans to the Like Gated tab
Replicated your ebook download, private logins and more from your website to your fan page with no extra coding or development. Simply drop in the URL, size to your desire and publish tab to your Page!
Restaurants and Hotels can add their Reservations web page easily to a tab on their fan page!
Website Event Registrations on your website can be added to your fan page
ANYTHING on your website, blog, or a page where you sell products (Amazon, eBay, PayPal, etc.) can be added!

NOTE: To ensure the page shows in ALL browsers, add a SSL secure certificate and input the URL in the WebSite ReSizer with the https: secure URL! Read more.

SSL Options: Secure SSL and Cheap SSL options.

WebSite ReSizer eliminates the need for companies to spend more money on custom programming to replicate things they have on their website. Now, simply add your website to your Facebook page, and resize to fit the 810 pixel width maximum that Facebook offers.

Showcase your Event on Facebook and Empower Fans to Share

PROBLEM: Awareness

You want people to be aware of your next Event. Your budget is limited but you want to maximize exposure. Can Social Media help?

SOLUTION: Word of Mouth Marketing (WOM)

Empower your fans to share when they view information on your event.

By making it easy to share, Facebook users are more inclined to pass it on.

Example Event on Facebook Using Friend Share App

Steps to Word-of-Mouth Marketing

1. Setup the free Friend Share tab on your company Facebook page.

Upon signing up or clicking “Add New Tab” (for existing TabSite users) in the manager, you will go through a few quick steps to setup your tab.

Step 1: Name Your Tab – simply enter the text for the name as it is to appear on your Facebook fan page.

Step 2: Choose your 111 x 74 Tab image (or upload your own). This is the image on your fan Page Timeline below the cover image that directs visitors to your tab. Make them specific and attention getting! To upload your own, simply click the “select/upload one of your own” button to load your own image.

Step 3: Choose Tab Type – This is an important area where you select the Engagement Apps (simple to build, simple to deploy) tab type.

When the Engagement App options open, select the “Friend Share” App:

This will load the Friend Share App on your TabSite Manager and you will see the Setup Form to complete. Page Admins control the title and description of the shared message that fans will share.

2. Use the social sharing tools in the tab itself to share via your social networks

After the tab is on your company Facebook page, use the social sharing buttons to share the news about your event.

3. Use a Photo post on your Facebook page to get the word out to your fan community.

Post a Photo to your News Feed with a call to action and a Smart URL in the description field.

Why a Photo? Facebook, in its own research, found that the most successful posts for capturing the attention of users and inspiring action are visual. Since 40 percent of a Facebook user’s time is spent in the News feed, capturing attention to inspire a “Like,” comment or share by using images is critical.

Quick Guide for posting your Event Tab to Facebook.

This works for posting to your Facebook Page or a Facebook personal profile.

A. Go to your Timeline on Facebook and select “Photo / Video” for your new message.

B. Next Select “Attach Photo / Video”

C. Choose the image

Choose the image you want to post, add a text description to inform viewers of the event (this is the call-to-action that fans will see in their News Feed when the image catches their eye!), and include a Smart URL to the tab in the description so that desktop and mobile viewers can access the tab.

Then simply publish the post or schedule it to go out at a specific later time.

4. Rinse and Repeat

By “rinse” we mean review the engagement your post is getting. Consider changing your wording and making the call to action stronger.

By “repeat” we mean that you will need to post about your event regularly in the days leading up to it. Post at different times of the day and with different messages to capture the attention of your community and encourage their sharing. Another item to consider to extend reach further is to use Facebook Promoted Post option per post to “Boost” the reach of the post to more friends of fans.

Following this procedure gives you the best visual means to sharing information about your event and drawing in fans to participate.

Pinterest + Facebook combined for Pin Deal Promo Tool for Pages from TabSite

Pin Deal:

The Power of Pinterest referral traffic integrated with your Facebook Page in a Promotion Powerhouse from TabSite!

The Lowdown on Pin Deal:
In order to “unlock” a special promotion deal on your Facebook Page, the fan must re-pin the image you specify on Pinterest! After the fan pins the image, they get access to your deal on your Facebook Page tab.

The “Pin Deal” App from TabSite is a great tool for offering a special discount, an e-book download, a savings code, or other promo that spreads virally across the social web because fans need to pin the deal in order to get access themselves. This app uses the power of both Facebook and Pinterest to drive awareness, interaction, and engagement, drawing visitors to your Facebook Page.

The Pin Deal App is available at the TabSIte Platinum Plan level and includes the Promotional Tool feature enabling you to build a call-out to add to your website/blog to drive traffic to the tab!

Why Pinterest?

As noted by Social Media Examiner:

Pinterest is the third most popular social network in the U.S. in terms of traffic.
Pinterest has accumulated 14.9 million users as of July 2012.
Pinterest is retaining and engaging users as much as 2-3 times more efficiently than Twitter was at a similar time in its history.
Over 80% of pins are repins, demonstrating the tremendous “virality” at work in the Pinterest community.
Shoppers referred by Pinterest are 10% more likely to make a purchase than visitors who arrive from other social networks, including Facebook and Twitter.

The Pin Deal Engagement App for Facebook Pages offers a tab for your Facebook Page with features including:

Ability to add a introductory image to explain the Fan Page Deal and the steps to access it
Ability to add a Pinterest specific image that is the designated image to be pinned by visitors on Pinterest. This is the image that will appear on Pinterest and so is a great tool to promote your offer and brand “infographic style”. Simply upload this image in the Pin Deal setup area.
Social sharing options are recommended to encourage fans to share your tab. Admins can set the sharing core information for the Share button, +1 and Tweet buttons to strengthen the message from your Page that goes out when fans share the information. The Like, Share, and +1 pull from the Title, Description, and Image fields, and the Tweet text has a counter to help you stay within a 140 character limit.
Like Gate image option for fan gating.
Promotional Tools including area enabling Admins to more easily drive traffic to their tabs from their website or blog by allowing you to upload an image and grab embed code to add to your blog or site. This image call-out will link to the Facebook Page Tab.
An additional Promotional Tool is the Smart Mobile URL generator to use in posts to the Facebook Timeline, Twitter, and on the web that shows a mobile friendly view to mobile viewers while showing the standard view to those on a desktop or PC.
The deal will be a downloadable document or a image you upload for fans to access/print. TabSite gives you the option!
The Pin Deal can have limits on number of people who can access it, and ability to set a time when the deal offer ends. You get to load a “Deal Over” image that would be active at the time you set.

As with all TabSite Engagement Apps, Facebook Page Admins have full language control for customizing to the language of your choice.
