The Facebook Reveal
The landing page on your Fan Page is your first impression on Facebook. What if you could have a slow reveal on your page? What if you could use your page to tantalize potential new fans and give them a little thrill right from their first encounter with you? The Facebook reveal allows you to do this. Be mysterious. Be seductive. Be intriguing. And be effective at converting lurkers into fans and clients.
Most of us have seen the landing pages on Facebook Fan Pages. They look like a mini website inside a fan page that you usually only see when someone comes to your page for the first time. Once they have “liked” you, they are directed to your wall.
For a one time show, Facebook landing pages are highly influential in getting people to like your page. If you have a really good one, you might get someone to like your page; then they may be more inclined to go to your website, sign up on your mailing list, or just start engaging with you right off the bat.
The landing pages are what make Fan Pages so influential.
There are a lot of great examples of strong landing pages: Red Bull and Gap.
There is a code that you can use to keep a portion of your landing page blurred out to non-followers. Then when someone clicks “Like” it is revealed to them and the image/text is no longer blurry.
