Here is an extensive checklist that can guide you to seamlessly implement the <strong>facebook timeline<\/strong> into your business page.<\/p>\n<p>1. <strong>Make your cover image impressive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your cover image should be appropriate for your business and should be in sync with your brand\u2019s message. Do put in some time, energy and money while choosing a cover image, as your customers will be making their first impression about you from it. If you are short on budget, you can buy images from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wolf-howl.com\/redirect\/hutterstock\/42\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock<\/a> or use some of <a href=\"http:\/\/digitalblasphemy.com\/fbt.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Digital Blasphempy<\/a>\u2019s free images. Keep these in mind, while selecting an image:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Only use a cover image that you own the copyright for or have the permission to use<\/li>\n<li>Use a cover image size that is 851px X 315px<\/li>\n<li>Avoid using pricing, selling and other call to action buttons on the cover image<\/li>\n<li>Try not to incentivize sharing or liking on your cover image<\/li>\n<li>Include contact details, like, address, telephone, email\/web address, only in the \u201cAbout Us\u201d area of your profile and not on the cover image<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>2. <\/strong><strong>Share private messages with fans\/customers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Has the fear of people saying negative things about your business on your brand page stopped you from venturing into facebook? You can now put these fears aside with the new messaging format in <strong>facebook\u2019s timeline<\/strong>. Instead of everything being written right on your wall, you can privately address the concerns of your fans\/customers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. <\/strong><strong>Make the most of the landing page &amp; tabs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As opposed to the old system, in which you could experiment with different landing pages and multiple tabs, the new timeline has just one default landing page with only four tabs. You can customize the name and icons of 3 tabs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. <\/strong><strong>Pin up important content &amp; add milestones<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can now \u201cpin up\u201d significant offers, posts, contests or messages on the top for a period of 7 days.
