Facebook Offers New Opportunities for Small Business

You can love or hate the new Facebook Timelines for fan pages.

But we’d like to highlight one very positive outcome; Facebook has forced every business and organization to reevaluate its goals, appeal, and customer engagement on fan pages. Facebook has provided new tools and features to enhance engagement like instant private messages between fans and administrators, larger picture displays, highlights, story pinning, and more. The recent changes that automatically took effect on March 30, 2012 have presented a new opportunity for a fresh look, and for many small businesses (and non-profits), a new direction on Facebook as admins take advantage of the new features.

Here are some creative and inspiring examples of Timeline cover images, profile pictures and custom tab images that we love.
