Over 850 million people are currently registered with Facebook with over half of them logging in everyday. A social behemoth that Facebook is, for business – small and large – it’s inevitable that they find their place on Facebook. For businesses, a Facebook Fan Page is their ticket to tap into the potential of Facebook. Here are seven tools you can use today to create professional looking, profit pulling Facebook Fan Pages in Minutes:
Engagement Builder Pro (Social Bakers CMS)
If you are a small business and if you wanted a complete solution from ground up without you having to worry about the nitty-gritty of putting up a Facebook fan page and then having to manage it all the time, I found that the Engagement Builder Pro (Social baker CMS) does more than just help you put up a Fan Page: it can manage your multiple Facebook Fan Pages for you, help you schedule your wall postings, allow you to manage a team of social media managers and assign specific roles with relevant rights, and manage responses to the postings on the wall. You may also use any of your other custom applications.
Lujure
This is the tool I’ve used for the Fetchprofits Facebook Fan Page. I know it doesn’t look very impressive but that’s not because of Lujure; it’s because I can’t do more than that. Lujure helps you set-up your Facebook Fan Page quickly (I took 3 minutes to do mine), and efficiently. You don’t need to know any code, it’s super-fast, and with just drag-and-drop functionality. You can’t have it easier than that, can you? Further, they have a free plan that allows one Fan Page, one tab, and the free plan comes with “Lujure” branding.
I have a confession to make: I am totally in love with their website. There’s something classy, simple and elegant about their website and that made me stare at the screen for ages before typing this out. They have plenty of products to choose from: promotion builder, page manager, and an analytics application. Wildfire app seems to be the best choice for promotions especially and their minimum price seems to be $5 + $0.99 and going up to $250 for a single promotion.
Although they do have a powerful Fan Page Manager, I couldn’t see their pricing unless I “request a demo”.
I mentioned Pagemodo in a free report I plan to give away for free to you in a short while. If you’d like to see who’s using PageModo and how the end result looks like, they have an examples page you can check out. You may upload videos and have reveal pages that open up after potential fans “like” your Fan Page, etc. You might want to integrate your Twitter feed, display a map & location info, and use “Fan Coupons” if you wish to promote your products and services. They do have a free plan for personal use but you are limited to one tab and one fan page. The free plan also comes with their branding in the footer area.
North Social is one of my favorite Facebook Fan Page creators and it has a suite of applications that it’s on my wish list currently. The visual appeal of their applications is one of the best I’ve seen so far. The only glitch is that it’s a paid service and I don’t see any free plan in their pricing structure. Paying for their service is totally worth it. Yet another annoyance is that you buy a separate plan for each of your Facebook Fan Pages.
If you have 3 Facebook Fan Pages for three different brands, you will need three separate accounts with North Social. That makes it kind of hard for me to invest in this service if I have clients asking for complete social media solutions unless I include this amount while invoicing.
While most free plans allow you to manage Fan Pages with limited applications, Involve Social’s free plan allows you complete access to its applications. Involve social also allows you multi-fan page support – something that other tools don’t allow you especially on a free plan. Of course, there’s a lot that Involve social offers to its paid subscribers such as enterprise-grade scalability, viral analytics, custom themes, and custom headers.
First off, Involver isn’t just for Facebook Fan pages; they have an entire collection of applications for all popular social media and other engagement channels such as You tube, ScribD, Twitter and even Klout. They have plenty of basic applications that are free and self-serving. They also have a ‘Coupons’ application that works on your Facebook Fan page. Head over to their applications list and pick the one you want to work with.
You may visit my Facebook Fan Page and I’d love it if you click on “Like” and be a fan. Have you created a Facebook Fan Page? I’d love to see them here. Would you mind posting your Fan Page links so I can “Like” them?
