Facebook - Setting up company account

[Justin]

I want to set up my company on Facebook, had a couple of goes but it just doesn't look right. I thought if someone could just point me in the right direction it may help other members to set a page up :-)

Is this the place to start?

Must admit Justin I'm in the same boat as you with this one. I'm stumped on which section to choose & then what category do we go under.

[Justin]

Phew, not just me then Ian! :wink:

Local business/place or Company.....business/company, does it matter?

I set one up for DSF as well...but probably did that wrong! Cause or Community maybe better option for this?

[Ian M]

The best bit is that I helped a friend in Australia set one up for her cosmetic contact lens business. So, its not just you mate :biggrin:

dsf would be community, and then you will see the page here drop dramatically, and you will also need to have it as a closed community, or our customers can see everything - this has been an issue some of the clothing suppliers have found - putting up daily deals on FB meant that our customers (friends family etc) could see the daily deals

[Justin]

Yeah, not keen on DSF page tbh :-)

I'd forgotten that I'd set up one of these ages ago. I must remember to do more with it... :redface:

[Justin]

OK, maybe I'm getting somewhere. It wouldn't accept my email so I had to use another one.....GGGRRRR!

Can't get my profile pic to fit now! How you get that banner at the top Paul?

I think that's what they call the "cover" picture. I stumbled across it last night: http://www.facebook.com/mugsandgifts

you should get option there for cover photo. after you upload that you can fit/resize to your needs.

[Justin]
