If you use Facebook for your business you’ll know they like to change things, often with little or no warning! You need to keep on top of these changes for your page to remain effective and engaging. The most recent changes emerged from Facebook’s fMC 2012 Conference. The overall message was that Facebook is looking at pages as a “mission control” point (which is where the MC comes from in the conference title).
Here’s a review of one of the key changes and how you can take advantage of some of the new features.
The new timeline cover photo and profile image
Obviously one of the biggest changes that we all knew was coming was the cover photo. No more photo strip across the top. You now have one large image to showcase your page. This image must be a minimum of 399 pixels across to be used as the cover photo. But you can have a photo cover designed to take advantage of the extra space you get. The cover photo maximum dimensions are 850 pixels by 315 pixels.
One of the biggest restrictions is the fact that you can’t have any calls to action in your cover photo. You can’t tell people to like or share your page or have any contact information at all, including your web address, phone number or mailing address. Get the full details about cover photos here . These restrictions will require some creativity in drawing attention to your business without some of the methods that have been used in the profile pictures recently.
The profile picture size has been changed to 180 pixels by 180 pixels. It appears next to every post in the news feed as a 30 pixel by 30 pixel picture and this is best used for your logo or other eye-catching picture without a lot of words.

We love ‘to be’ and ‘to get creative’ – here’s a design project that we’ve worked on recently. The brief was to create a stand out look and feel for a Women’s only networking group, aimed at management professionals and business owners. The organisers wanted a creative solution that would help them stand out in a busy market place. The design together with the positioning statement incorporates both the fun element of the group and its educational purpose.
To date the concept has been used on their marketing collateral, email template, pull up banner stands and business cards.
