Having multiple objectives and strategies are fine—just prioritize each. It’s not hard, it can pretty simple.
Slide 4
Let’s Get Started!
----- Meeting Notes (2/18/13 21:14) ----- Let's get started. Go to www.facebook.com and log in. Go to www.facebook.com Pages differ from personal profiles Pages represent companies Profiles represent individuals Pages are mission control for your brand on Facebook. Interact with customers- announce events and promos, share applications With Facebook’s 500 million active users—half of whom log on daily for an average session time of 55 minutes—having an active Facebook page helps gain tremendous visibility for your business and meets your prospects/community where they are. Your Facebook page will be tied to your personal profile as the admin of your Facebook page; however, only you and Facebook know the connection exists. After set up you can add others to Admin your page (highly recommended). All admins have equal rights to administer your page; including adding and removing other admins (choose with care!).
Slide 5
Once you are logged in, then we’ll go to www.facebook.com/pages and click "Create Page" in the upper right hand corner.
Slide 6
Select your page title and category carefully as they cannot be changed once set. You will have to delete the page and restart. The category of 'Company, Organization or Institution' refers to a large company or franchise. The category of ‘Brand or product” refers to Ford Mustang which is on of many products that Ford creates. If you feel that one of your products merits its own Facebook page, than go right ahead Most small business choose ‘Local Business or Place.’ Select ‘Local Business or Place’ it will take you to the next slide, it should look like this.
Slide 7
Select Food/Grocery from the drop down menu.
Slide 8
Please fill in the required fields (WHY???, you ask?)Very important to retrieve your page if hacked! Business or Place Name Street Address* Used for Google Maps location. Ease of directions to those traveling to your farm. City/State Zipcode Phone Number* VERY important*** maybe used to retrieve your page in event of hacking. Most Farms on FB have selected the category of Food/Grocery. Be sure to click the “I agree to Facebook Pages Terms” box. Then click the blue, “Get Started’ box.
Slide 9
Our next step is to upload your profile picture. This is usually your business logo. It is best if the image is square and 160 x 160 pixels. If it’s not, you should be able to resize it later. This is not your large cover photo that you see at the top of a profile. So select ‘Upload from Computer’
Slide 10
Most people upload the photo from their computer. You will have to locate the photo in your files. If you know exactly where it is that’s great, otherwise you can search for it. I usually move things I will be needing to my desktop temporarily to make more efficient to set up. Select your file and click insert or open.
Slide 11
I have used the Alaska State Fair business logo for this demo. Once you see the image you are satisfied with click next.
Slide 12
Now we’re going to set up a brief ‘About’ section of your profile. We have an opportunity later to go more in depth with our ‘About’ section. The ‘About’ section in your Facebook profile actually contains the meta description for your Page so make sure it has your keywords. Construct a nice little write-up about what your business does or how it came into being with a clickable website. Complete as many of these fields as you can. Description, web address, any other social media networks you use, and key words. Then click save info.
Slide 13
Be sure to register your own unique web address and username (sometimes called a “vanity URL”) for your Facebook page at http://facebook.com/username. Click Set Address.
Slide 14
You are taken to your Admin Panel. The first prompt is for you to like your own page that way the next visitors will see that ONE person already likes your page. Click LIKE. There may be a second prompt to Share something or post a Status. Ignore it. We’ll cover that later. You should be taken to your Admin Page without prompts, if it doesn’t let me know and I’ll get you back on track.
Slide 15
Slide 16
Slide 17
So let’s continue building a GREAT page for you. Your Cover Photo should be 851 x 315 pixels. You have the opportunity to adjust the cropping by repositioning the photo, but you cannot resize the image that you uploaded. Again, most people use an image from their own files on their computer. Choose unique cover photo to express what your page is about. If you have you’d like to use. Crop it to the required size in a photo editor of some sort to upload one from many of the cover photo sites. Some are free others charge a nominal fee.

Slide 19
Please choose ‘Add A Cover’ then select ‘Choose from Photos’
Slide 20
Select the photo from files you want. Click open or insert.
Slide 21
And Voila! You can now drag to reposition your cover photo. Remember you cannot resize it here, only reposition. Click save changes. Do: • Use an image that's 851 x 315 pixels. • Use a unique image to represent your Page (ex: a popular menu item or a picture of a
customer using your product). • Experiment with different images to see what people respond to. Don't include: • Price or purchase information, such as '40% off' or 'Download it on our website'. • Contact information or details that should go in your About section. • Calls to action or references to other things on Facebook such as the Like button. (Facebook)
Slide 22
Next we’ll add our category. Start typing in Farm. Select farm. Click Save.
Slide 23
Then we’ll add hours of operations. I don’t know if you all have days/ hours that you are open to the public. This will unique to your business. Select Add Your Hours Select days of the week and times or click “Always open’ or ‘No hours available’-Click Add, then Save.
Slide 24
You can use the most common ones such as Events and Notes—you invite people to an event you’re having. You could place a tab to your Pinterest account or Twitter account of to your online store; you could do videos or find other apps in the apps store. But this is a little advanced for today. http://www.youbrandinc.com/social-media/how-to-create-a-store-on-facebook/

Slide 35
Choose the appropriate Parking: Street, Valet or Parking Lot Make sure the phone number is correct. Add your email address And add your website Then click save ‘changes’
Slide 36
It will notify you that your information has been updated.
Slide 37
Click ‘Page View” to go back to Admin Page.
Slide 38
You are now ready to make your first post.
Slide 39
You can write something, post a photo or video to share (encourage others to share them too), create an event, add milestone, or take a poll. Today let’s Click Status and write a post. Click post after complete. The status post will then show up on your timeline wall on left side.
Slide 40
Edit pencil in upper, right corner of page to edit your post,- delete, change the time, or ‘pin’ it to the top of your timeline. You can also ‘Highlight’ a post by clicking the little star in the right hand upper corner. We now have a decision to make…Does this post need to Highlighted on the wall or shall we pin the post to the top of the timeline? Notice the Star and the pencil The pencil icon means you want to PIN a post. What’s a Pinned Post? A pinned post is a status update that you manually select to stay at the top of your Timeline, meaning it will not slip down the Timeline as you continue to add other posts to your page. What You Need to Know A pinned post is located at the top of your Timeline in the left column. You can only pin one post at a time. A pinned post will stay at the top of your Timeline for 7 days, unless you unpin it before the 7 days is up. To pin a post, click on the edit pencil icon in the upper-right corner of a status update. A drop-down menu will appear, choose “Pin To Top.” To unpin a post, click on the edit pencil icon in the upper-right corner of the pinned post and you will see the option to unpin the post in the drop-down menu.
Slide 41
Good posts to pin are: A Welcome you want first time visitors to see Important information you want to keep top of mind Deals Promotions Notice the little bookmark icon symbolizing that this post has been pinned.
Slide 42
Again Notice the Star and the pencil The star icon means you want to HIGHLIGHT a post.
Slide 43
What’s a Highlighted Post? A highlighted post is a status update that you have selected to expand across your Timeline, taking up the space of both columns. Highlighting a post will help you draw more attention to the most important content on your page. Pinned posts will likely get more visibility vs. highlighted posts because pinned posts are at the top of the page. (But that does not mean highlighted posts are not valuable!) Unlike pinned posts, there are no time limitations for a highlighted post. You cannot pin and highlight a post at the same time. It’s one or the other. To highlight a post, put your cursor over the upper-right corner of a post. A star icon will appear. Click the star to highlight a post and unclick the star to unhighlight the post. Unlike pinned posts, highlighted posts do not stay at the top of your Timeline. Instead, they remain in chronological order and are pushed down the Timeline with every new status update created.
Slide 44
Now let’s go back to admin page. I have a few other things I’d like to familiarize you with to help you manage your business page. Please click edit page at the top of your page to see the drop down menu.
Slide 45
I guarantee that you will at least once, post as yourself on the Business page OR you will post business stuff on your personal page. I have done both! So to prevent that, go to edit page at the top of the page. Hover the mouse over it and you should see this box. Select use Facebook as Stan Farms. Be sure to switch it back when you are done. In the same place…It will just say, Use Facebook as (Your Name). If you’ll note FB tries to help us by reminding us who we are posting as (underlined).
Slide 46
Managing Your Page
Please select edit page and click update info from the drop down menu.

Slide 49
I am going to skip over basic information because that is the “About” section we already completed, but it you need to edit it, this is good place.
Slide 50
This is where we can change our Profile picture (or Business Logo)
Slide 51
This is FEATURED section Where we can add featured likes and page owners. LIKES: You will have to ‘LIKE’ other business pages, just like you “like friends” on friemds Facebook to use this option to feature other Business pages on your page. Page Owners: When you add a featured page owner: Their personal information will be publicly displayed in the About section of this Page This Page will be shown on their personal profile Click add if you want people to know that you are the featured owner of the pages. Generally not recommended as it will show your personal profile and information.
