Facebook Pages is the social giant’s offering for businesses and celebrities to create a corporate, public profile. It’s an industry-proven platform to connect with customers and fans, grow your brand’s presence, target sales, and more.
But, with 80 million pages on Facebook, it’s a competitive arena wherein you must stand out to engage customers and increase sales. Fortunately, there are third-party tools that help you to create and post content, customize your page, and add or connect third-party services; and thus, grow your customer base.
In this write-up, I’m going to introduce the best of such tools that will help you to customize and manage a business page on Facebook. Let’s start, shall we?
Add Tabs to Pages
Facebook Apps and Tabs
A small but neat tool to brand your page on Facebook using app integrations and tabs. It allows customizing your page, adding tabs with social media and third-party content, and adding social media links to show online presence.
You can add tabs to integrate online services or social media platforms such as Flickr, Twitch.tv, Twitter, Vimeo, YouTube, etc. I liked its “HTML Tab”, which lets you publish any web content for your audience; let’s say an events page.
All-in-One Tools
Iframe Apps Facebook
A comprehensive suite with numerous tools to engage customers, track online engagements and sales, and sell your products using Facebook Pages. It features HTML Tab (like Facebook Apps and Tabs) to add any web content in a tab.
