Hi everyone ...

Happy New Year and a belated Happy Valentine's Day!  Been working on lots of things and very happy to be back!  Some of you just heard from me a day or two ago via my re-activated "monthly" newsletter that is more specific to Today's Way happenings & services.  If you don't receive and would like to, simply subscribe here.  Just a side note - a new website is also on its way! YES!

On to the NEW facebook business page updates! 
By now you have probably heard that facebook business pages have a new look AND new capabilities! What you hear is true and the updates are huge enhancements to the use of the page.  Now is definitely the time to activate a business page in addition to your personal page if you haven't already done so.  If you are not even on facebook yet ... NOW is "absolutely" a must to get started.  (Today's Way does provide telephone 1-on-1 trainings, $150 for both an initial 90 minute training and a 30 minute follow-up call. click here). 

Here are the highlights with a summary of all at the end.  You may choose to preview and upgrade your page now. ( once you upgrade you can't go back!)  Everyone will get the upgrade on March 10th. 

	Everyone Has Been Wanting This One!  Business pages may now Post, LIKE, and Leave Comments on all other pages "as a business" ~ no restrictions. Note: it is optional via your settings
	Geo-Posting Available Administrators will be able to geo-target postings to countries, states, cities and even languages!
	Who Sees What On and From Your Page Administrators can choose settings for visitors to only see page postings OR everyone's postings. Same thing for people who LIKE you page. They can choose to receive only the page's postings or everyone's postings.
	Notifications Page administrators will now be notified via email when others post comments on your business page.  Just like your personal page. Note: profanity blocks (detailed and general) are available.
	Photos The five most recent photos posted to your wall will appear across the top.  This only includes photos that you have posted, not any of your visitors.  Should a photo not be appropriate for the top of your page, simply put your curser over the photo and click "X" to hide it.
	Navigation Tabs The "info" tab and other tabs seen across the top are NOW in the left column under the profile picture.
	Small Info Box The small info box that "was" under the profile image will be moved to the "Info" section.
	Profile Image  You can load an image that is 185 X 540. I recommend that you create an image that has some of the info that the content box previously contained.  Good opportunity for branding content. My own is under construction as I type!
	Number of "LIKES" More emphasis will be placed upon the number of people "liking" your page.  You will see your total number of "LIKES" displayed in the left column of your page.
	The Personal Touch Still want "some" personal touch  & association with your page?  No worry.  Administrators profile images will be at the top of the column on the right side of the page.  Visitors can click on it and get to your personal account.
	Advertising Changes are happening and should probably be a separate mailing. Be prepared to start seeing ads in more places including your photo albums... yes, they say it's true.????

These changes are fantastic for some great business to business exchanges.  They offer a much greater opportunity to promote your brand.  For example,  when announcing events your business icon will appear, not your personal image. It is also important to study your settings.  Where before you pretty much had no choices, now you have many. Some of the new options for when to use your business profile image vs your personal profile image is chosen via your settings.  Take advantage of the flexibility and use it to your best advantage for building business relationships! Have communication goals! So what do you think? Have questions, comments? As always, you are invited to my blog to discuss all your thoughts and/or ask a question! Would love to know what your reaction is.  http://keepyourbusinessgrowing.blogspot.com
