5 Great Examples Of Facebook Timelines for Brands

Facebook TimelineHave you considered how you could use Facebook Timeline in a way to further promote your business?

Companies are starting to really think about how to use them creatively and it’s making them a lot more interesting.

Check out 5 examples below of some cool things that companies are doing:

1. Consistent branding with cover photo and applications

 

The following is nicely designed and pretty cool.  Nice the way the application icons are consistent with the colors used as part of the spotify brand.

2. Innovative use of Milestones

CocaCola have gone back through the years and added some funky milestones which helps you understand the history of Coca-Cola.  It makes the timeline really interesting.  Think about the history you have as a brand, how can you turn this into a story?

3.Highlighting some great pictures…

You can now highlight pictures so they appear the full width of the screen.  I liked how Subway used this to show off one of their big sandwiches

4.  Let your fans create your cover photo.

A great idea from Verizon.  They are running a competition where fans submit a photo of spring and the winners get featured on their cover photo!

5. Finding clues on your timeline

A cool idea from redbull for their scavenger hunt where content participants find the answers to clues on the timeline.  A great way of getting people to spend more time on the timeline!

Have you seen any good creative uses of timeline for brand pages?

    This is great!
    When timeline was first launched I saw it as a challenge
    I now see it as an opportunity!
    We can put our collection launches into timelines to further promote the business
