Is Your Cover Photo Ready for Facebook Timeline?

On March 30th (yes – this Friday!) Timeline goes live for all Facebook pages. If you don’t already know, this means the way your Facebook page looks will completely change. You’ll have space for a very large banner image across the top: perfect to convey your brand message.

Remember that there are some guidelines Facebook requires for your cover photo. Most notably, they specify that you should not publish contact information, price or purchase information, or calls to action – even references to “Like” or “Share.” Yes, I know, these are things we would LOVE to include but there are still lots of ways you can take advantage of this space to show your business off!

If you haven’t designed this large “Cover Photo” yet, here’s your chance to get a great limited time price. We’re offering two options – pick the one that’s best for you below and click to pay online. Then complete the design requirements form so we can get your cover photo right into the design queue.

In their own words: Stella Niagara Education Park on Beyondus Marketing Coaching

I loved having the opportunity to work with Kris at Stella Niagara Education Park through the Niagara River Region Chamber of Commerce marketing seminar series and then through our Marketing Jumpstart Coaching program – during which we focused on developing and launching a Facebook page to bring together their alumni and parents.

She was so kind to take the time to remark on her experience – here’s what she had to say:

March 2012

To Whom it May Concern:

I have had the pleasure of working with Karen Renzi and Beyondus Marketing for several months. Our association began in September 2011 with a series of seminars on Online Marketing hosted by the Niagara River Region Chamber of Commerce.

Not only did I learn a great deal about social networking, email marketing and advance online planning, but I came to respect Karen’s knowledge and her ability to get a point across. Her very natural teaching style made learning easy and enjoyable.

During the course of the NRRCC seminars, I was able to convince our Development Committee that Stella Niagara would be wise to have a presence on a social networking site, particularly to re-connect our alumni community. We hired Karen for six one-hour sessions. Once again, her knowledge proved invaluable. She walked me through setting up a Facebook page for our parents and alumni, taught me how to pre-schedule posts and passed along dozens of other tips that will allow me to maximize the effectiveness of our social network page.

I am hopeful that my association with Karen Renzi and Beyondus will continue for many years to come. I would highly recommend her services to any business or organization looking to increase their visibility and viability in the online marketplace.

Respectfully,

Kristen M. deGuehery
Director of Institutional Advancement
Stella Niagara Education Park

Alessandro Renzi, Fourth Grade

Beyondus co-founder Alessandro Renzi has a soft spot in his heart for Sacred Heart Villa School in Lewiston, NY. Their tagline, “Where Learning Begins,” fit him to a T, as it was the school he attended when he arrived in the United States from Italy at the age of 8. Sacred Heart Villa School is where Alessandro first learned English, and he remains friends with some of his classmates to this day.

Beyondus has built and helped maintain the website design for Sacred Heart Villa School for several years. This latest website redesign is a WordPress website design, which simplifies the ability for the Sisters to directly enter and update their content, including images, links, and documents.
