If you are not sure of exactly what I talking about, take a look at my personal Facebook profile here:
 
or my Business Page on Facebook here:
 

Notice that my Facebook Timeline has a branded “header/cover” promoting what I do… and redirecting everyone to connect on my business website (this site right here).

 
It’s time you put this in place if you don’t have it. Why?
 
1. Set yourself apart. Most folks are using little sayings and pictures that are not really brand or business related.  You can use this area as a smart business owner to always be in position to market and share what you do… once your Facebook time cover is up.. it will be your ongoing marketing piece. (SWEET!)
 
2. If you want people to connect to you in other places outside of Facebook.. let’s say you have a business website.. a business blog..or a fan page that you want them to go to.. you can market that in your new Facebook timeline cover..  Every time your friends go to comment on your profile.. they will see your branded Facebook cover.. portraying your professional image icon smile New Forced Facebook Changes, Facebook Time Line Covers, Business Page Welcome Page Going Away, And More!
Did you know Facebook is also releasing the same design for pages? yes… pages.. your business page can have the same cover… again. This change will no longer be optional come March 30th… you will be automatically switched. 
Major brands like Coca Cola are using this for marketing purposes…..

So, it does indeed seem that Facebook Timeline Brand Pages are right around the corner! 
Are you ready?  More changes are coming too… 
Default landing tab– No more!!: This is very much disappointing. It would be heartbreaking to some who had spent hours or days of their precious time in designing the default landing tabs. At first it was though that facebook is taking down FBML tabs but the work around was to use iframe which has much more flexibility. Using iframe was just short lived good news for the facebook marketers because, without default landing tab option available, visitors to your page would hardly notice the custom landing tab that you had created. 
The large profile picture – Shrunk to stamp size: The large profile picture was considered as a boon and many of them applied their creativity there. Unfortunately, your old profile picture on the business page is not going to help. The thumbnail is now shrunk to a stamp size.Not To Worry….Here Is Some New stuff that ensures you not feel missing the above…

Cover Photo – The huge canvas for expressing creativity: Well, that’s huge list. First of all, a huge real estate for a cover photo to express your creativity. Guess what, the cover image is larger than most of the header banners used in the websites. That’s truly web 2.0. Once you start working with the cover photo, you would forget the old profile picture.

 

Neat arrangement of tabs as squared icons – Where did all the facebook page tabs go along with the custom landing tab that you had already created? If you are wondering about this, you haven’t noticed the tabs that care right now converted into square icons. The icons are neatly arranged and certainly has more visibility than the tabs.

 

Timeline to present milestones and achievements – Your business has achieved a milestone? A new product launch? Or a new branch opening? You can separate them from the actual wall posts. Basically that is the events feature that got converted into milestones.

 

Pin wall posts to top – We love this feature and this is the part which has a huge marketing potential. This works based on the concept of featured posts. You can pin (only one) wall post and it displays on top of the profile till you in pin it. We made use of this feature to run a banner ad sort of wall posts.

 

Wall posts and activity in a timeline – It has been a month since Facebook rolled out timeline for personal profiles. So, the timeline presentation will not be strange anymore. You can view (arrange) updates, activities, milestones and wall posts to be displayed in a timeline. Nothing much special about it but if used wisely, you can show the world how your business has evolved. One cool feature is that you can add some information about the origin of the company in the timeline.
