Why consider using a custom Welcome page?

Let's face it: Online, looks are everything. A great design can make or break your success. The more professional you appear, the more authority you're perceived to wield. Your Facebook page is no exception. Creating a custom Welcome landing page in Facebook tells your visitors you take social media seriously. And they appreciate that.

According to Wired Magazine, facebook users who visit your page and land on a custom Welcome page are 47% more likely to Like your page than if they just land on your Wall (which is only a 23% conversion to a Like). I'd say that's worth a look.

Ultimately, the Facebook Welcome page is just that: an initial welcome. And that's OK! Use your Facebook wall to post links to your website, e-newsletter signup form, blog posts and more.

Here's a Welcome page we matched (branded) to their exisiting site:

What Should I Include on My Custom Facebook Welcome Page?

Your custom Facebook Welcome page is the perfect place to set expectations. What people want to know is why they should Like your page and be part of your community. Your Welcome page is where you can

• share a fan-only coupon code
• showcase specific products (don't forget to include a specific call to action and a link so they can complete the action)
• share your Twitter feed in real time
• bring in your blog's RSS feed
• share your company philosophy
• explain what kind of information you share on your Wall and what fans can contribute
