People in general, don\u2019t like change. And when it comes to social media, change happens all the time.<\/p>\n<p>As a business owner, you have to learn to adapt fast to today\u2019s technology changes. To be honest, I am not a fan either of some changes.\u00a0<strong>However, this change looks promising with its countless opportunities for business pages.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We all heard the announcement about the new Facebook\u2019s newsfeed changes and I know many of you wonder what to look for and when these changes will actually unveil?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>Facebook is introducing the new look slowly, so you will have time to get used to it, and the development team at Facebook will be able to integrate user feedback.<\/p>\n<h1>What the new look will mean for your business?<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The new look will have a more personalized newsfeed where photos and visual content reigns.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The new Facebook Newsfeed look was designed with mobile users in mind. Images will be larger and when someone \u201clikes\u201d you or some of your posts, your image will show up on the Newsfeed.\u00a0 I recall when a business owner on my last speaking event asked: what is the value of a \u201cLIKE\u201d? Now, more than ever before, each \u201clike\u201d will have a significant value.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sidebars will be different<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The new sidebars on the left will look modern and clean and it will be the space for chat as well.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Content will be organized by genre<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To be honest, I really think this will eliminate the clutter feel.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>On the top right side, you will be able to view content by simply selecting topic feeds, such as music, photos, or users who all following certain pages. As well you will have the option to see the most recent posts or you can choose \u201cAll friends\u201d options. Many were complaining about Facebook not having this option and if you haven\u2019t been interacting with someone their post didn\u2019t show up in your feed. Now with a click you can choose what you want to see.<\/li>\n<li>You will be able to select specific categories<\/li>\n<li>You will have the option when you reach the bottom of your newsfeed to change your views. This will open up new ways of scanning the newsfeed and will more likely keep users on Facebook longer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-311\" src=\"http:\/\/intactmarketing.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/facebook-New-Timeline1.png\" alt=\"Facebook New Timeline and guides \" width=\"726\" height=\"321\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The New Facebook Newsfeed is device friendly<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The new design is meant to be device friendly \u2013 from cell phones, to iPads to desktops, the new newsfeed will offer the same user experience.\u00a0 Facebook wants you to sped more time searching.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook can be very addictive, and the new clean, modern, and user-friendly look will encourage users to spend more time on Facebook. With keeping people perusing longer, Facebook is providing more opportunities for advertisers.<\/p>\n<h2>So what does this mean for business owners?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Just think about it.\u00a0 Every minute people are spending on Facebook creates more advertising opportunity. As a business owner, you should be excited about this. More people sending more time on Facebook means more opportunity for you.<\/li>\n<li>When a Facebook user \u201clikes\u201d your page \u2013 your\u00a0business page cover photo\u00a0with your profile photo will show up in the Newsfeed \u2013 this is great free advertising for you. However, if you don\u2019t have a\u00a0professional cover photo, your business will look unprofessional and outdated.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t have a custom cover photo then this is the time to order one right now!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-312\" src=\"http:\/\/intactmarketing.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/facebook-new-timeline2.png\" alt=\"Facebook New TImeline \" width=\"757\" height=\"294\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The new Newsfeed will highlight your Business page\u2019s most popular posts!
