Facebook Apps: What You Need to Know

May 20th, 2013

JD Photo Imaging Facebook App Tab InstructionsA couple of months ago I explained how you could use Facebook Apps to add new features to your Facebook Business page. Although lots of people read the article, they asked for specific instructions to install an App on Facebook for free.

Apps (also called Tabs because they use to be at the top of the page) are represented by little 117x74px buttons underneath your Facebook banner page image. Each of these buttons represent an application (think of Apps/Tabs as a macro or a program) that is run when the button is clicked by one of your Facebook friends or fans.

Facebook includes Tabs for 2 Apps on every business page by default: 1. photos (a link to your photo albums), and 2. “likes” (the number of fans your page has).

Other Tabs commonly created for businesses by social media marketers include:

1. Map – a link to a Google or Yahoo map to your studio.
2. Website – a link to your website.
3. Email signup – a link to a form where your fans can sign up to receive your emails, coupons, etc.

Although Facebook only shows the first 4 Tabs, there is no limit to the number of applications you can have on your Facebook page.

The 2 levers you can control on Google are your website’s Title and Meta Description. Get these right, and people will click on your website. Get them wrong, and no matter how good a photographer you are, potential clients won’t pay attention to you online.

Cluster Canvas Gallery Wraps Are Alternative to Large Prints

April 30th, 2013

For families on a budget, large, framed wall prints may be out of their price range. At the same time, relatively inexpensive canvas gallery wraps are becoming more popular. That’s why we offer special pricing on Cluster Gallery Wraps in ROES.

With a little advanced planning you can offer your customers a modern alternative to large framed prints that looks great in any size room, and that you can retail them for almost the same amount as a single large print.

Banner Example

The trick is this: when taking a photograph, instead of thinking of an image as a horizontal or a vertical, think of it as a panorama.
