If some marketing techniques can prove to be very expensive, social networks are free and can bring you back a lot. That’s why they should be at the center of any marketing strategy. According to a recent study by Globalwebindex, a third of users visit Enterprise Facebook Pages. So how do you ensure that your Facebook page serves the interests of your business effectively?
Strategically using the cover photo
The cover photo is the first element that a user sees when he or she arrives on your Facebook page. To better exploit it, we advise you to use this space to highlight your marketing objectives: presentation of your latest product, communication on the values, missions and vision of your company, participation in your competition, etc.

Example 1: Encourage participation in one of your physical events

To avoid degrading the quality of your images following Facebook compression, you must:

  1. Choose a visual, qualitative, attractive and unique reflecting the universe of your company
  2. Adopt the dimensions 820 x 312 px (desktop) / 640 x 360 px (mobile) and a preferred png format.

Example 2: Coordinate your cover photo with Facebook’s native action call button

To Adapt the publication images to the right size

We advise you to always use images in your publications to attract the attention of users. Indeed, updates with images get 50% more likes than those that do not.
Just be careful not to use images on which the text is illegible because of a small size of the image or images that do not appear in all the space provided to you.
According to Facebook’s recommendations, it is advisable to upload JPEG photos with an sRGB color profile, except for profile and cover photos with a logo or text (PNG).
