First Impressions

Think of your Facebook profile photo as the first impression that you make on a client. How do you want your prospects to view you? Remember, first impressions are important. Make sure that your first impression to your prospects is classy and respectable. It may be wise to have a separate Facebook account for personal data, and another for business.

Your Logo

It is not recommended to put a picture of an inanimate object or your logo up on Facebook instead of yourself for your profile picture. The goal of marketing on Facebook is to bond with your target market. People bond with other people, so it’s wise to use your photo than your logo. It is also okay to use a photo with your logo on it, this will help people associate you with your logo, and show that you mean business. Be sure to not make the logo bigger than you.
