Being in the business of selling Fan Pages. I often hear “whats a fan page” from clients. Does anyone else run into that? 

Another question… how you call Fan Pages to your clients… Facebook Fan Page, Business Fan Page, Business Pages or another term work best?

@dennischica I generally use the term Business Page or Brand Page, or simply Page (as opposed to a Profile).

Cheers,

@dennischica I have found that those who have been using Facebook for a while personally already have a basic understanding of the business/fan pages. Those who rarely or are just beginning to use facebook need more explanation.

This may help you… they also have a chart. I did a quick glance and it seemed right. But use your best judgement.

@dennischica @yvetteleectsm @alexandrabriggs- I’m teaching a workshop on this very topic next week! The first thing I do is explain (and it usually takes a while for people to catch on) the difference between a personal profile and a page — which, as you likely know, Facebook calls an “Official Page.”

But “Official Page” sounds stuffy; most of us refer to Pages as “fan page, “business page,” or just plain “page.”  But I’ve discovered that when I call it a “page,” people get confused and think I’m talking about their personal profile, because most people call their personal profile a “page.”

So… in print I always refer to it as a fan/business page. Again, those of us who have used Facebook for a while got used to pages being called “fan pages” in the early days. Our brains default to thinking of them as “fan pages” even though you won’t see the word “fan” on them anymore.

It’s all so confusing.

@yvetteleectsm your very welcome. Always here to help if you need anything. Just let me know.
