Branding your offline experience is important, so why not make branding your online experience a priority too?
Facebook cover photos give brands real estate to add a little more personality and individuality to the page without taking away from the simple, clean interface and uncluttered experience of Facebook that everyone has become accustomed to.
Other social media platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter followed the trend and jumped on the timeline cover photo bandwagon, allowing you the opportunity to add a larger photo to the top of your page in addition to the profile photo.
Why Social Media Cover Photos?
Update your social media pages with the right timeline cover sizes to capitalize on your already captive audience of fans and the new universe of potential customers who might find you via search.
