if you need to test your cover against the new 20% text rule -> GO HERE.10 Facebook Features To Help You Get AheadĮight months after unveiling Graph Search, its new internal search capability, Facebook announced Wednesday that all users in the U.S. I really like the cover photo below - asking fans to "pass it on" and showing off their laid back style. In the blog post they cover 6 ways to leverage the cover photo in ways most haven't thought about: The good people over at ShortStack just released a great post - as I was typing this - on an experiment they did with their own cover photo while testing the new relaxed 20% text rule. So you have my permission to change your cover photo as often as you like! :P The same thing applies to cover photos on Facebook. When you're driving on the highway, do you notice how often billboards get changed? It happens all the time - even when the brand doesn't change.īecause our minds tend to tune out images that we've seen over & over - once they become part of our everyday routine. This doesn't make sense to me - and is a poor use of the space. I see a lot of page owners loading a cover photo and then never changing it. One Facebook Page that consistently represents their brand well in their cover photo is Coca-Cola: It only makes good business sense then for the cover to include images & text ABOUT YOUR BRAND. Remember: your cover photo is your #1 branding opportunity on your Timeline - and in the "Like" stories that show your page in the News Feed. It doesn't make sense to show of Ford trucks. If you sell kayaks, then it makes sense to show kayaks on your Facebook cover photo.
FACEBOOK COVER PHOTO PRIVACY INSTALL
I did find one called Cover My Timeline that doesn't require you to install an app - but they do add their logo to every image. Plus, most make you connect to their FB app - and then post the photo for you. You can also find tons of other sites that make generic cover photos for you - but they'll typically add THEIR branding to it - which stinks!įor your personal profile it might be ok - but for a business I'd steer clear of these types of sites. I'd recommend the inexpensive Timeline Slicer Pro. There are some great tools out there to create cover photos for those of us who are "graphically challenged". That's is why our cover photo is a high-quality, descriptive graphic instead:
So a photo of our crew is nearly impossible without some major photoshopping. We have a small staff at Post Planner - and we are literally spread around the globe. If you don't have a location or employees, then use a high-quality background with some text & your logo layered on top. The best - and cheapest - way to produce a great cover photo is to just use your camera & take a photo of your business or your employees.īut make sure your logo is prominent in the image (or just photoshop it in later).
If you upload an image that's smaller than these dimensions, Facebook will expand it - and the results are horrible! You can start by using an image that's the right size - 851 pixels by 315 pixels. Whether you use a photograph or an image you created, your cover photo needs to be high quality! You'll never get second chance to make a first impression! They won't be if your cover photo is low-quality, random or out-of-date! The first thing prospective fans see when they visit your page is your cover photo. Facebook cover photos are all about first impressions.
