Facebook PagesIndustry Overview
Pricing
• The majority of Facebook fan page template offerings start with a very basic free template or a free trial period to explore a particular theme
• Beyond free offerings (which are quite functional for the DIY crowd) the pricing tiers start to ramp up the more bells and whistles and personal consulting you add to the offering
• Typical fees range from $20 to $250 per month per package based on the suite of services. This will usually include basic hosting.
• A few players offer completely custom solutions which can only be quoted by phone.

Advertising & Exposure
• With a quick Google search related to Facebook Fan Page Templates and Facebook Page Services – users will be immediately overwhelmed by the abundant availability of options and solutions
• A few select players in this industry (Wix and Pagemodo) show up more often than others with their high dollar, highly targeted, multi channel ad campaigns in full swing

Instructional Videos
• 40% of fan page service providers lead with some sort of instructional video
• Visiting site after site, the generic sound bites “700 million fans….you need to be on Facebook…etc” get pretty old and annoying fast
• Not many providers really go into the details as to why you should use their services over brand x. This is an easy opportunity for a savvy competitor to take advantage of

Niche Categories
• While free fan page templates and free trial periods are easy to find – some separation starts to happen when you break the templates down by niche categories
• Most fan page template providers will break their free templates into anywhere from 5 to 10 key categories
• The interesting point here is that an evolving trend is starting to happen in that truly niche template offerings are popping up with the sole goal of owning a particular category
• For example – “DamnThe Radio” provides fan page templates fully optimized for those in the music-related busines

Emerging Facebook Page Trends
• We have all seen it happen before. The early adopters jump on the next great social tool, app or online publication only to get turned off later when the advertising barrage ramps up in order to support the new technology or content.
• Ad-supported innovations are acceptable when done right and you can start to see this in the fan page template world. Massive fan page template warehouses will be coming online that will offer thousands of free, high-design templates for every imaginable niche. To support these free template options, users will be forced to show a sponsor’s ad/logo on their new page.
• This is exactly what happened in the Blog industry once WordPress became the default platform. A search for blogging templates and themes will turn up hundreds of providers offering free simple templates and premium priced high-design templates ($50 to $100 per template) customized by theme.
