Wayne Kessler: March 2010 Archives

Apparently Facebook should make it a bit easier to figure out how to create such a page, since I do get asked about this by small business owners pretty regularly.  Do a little prep to start out with...  you should have the following items at the ready so you can provide the content when creating the account:
 
Two small paragraphs of description of the organization
Address, phone number, and web site URL of organization
Hours of operation
Names of Facebook users you want to invite to page.
 
If you want to add your organizational logo,  I'd probably recommend something more like 250 pixels wide by 180 high, if you can fit it in that size comfortably.
 
To create the page, log in under your Facebook account.  Then go to this URL:
 
http://www.facebook.com/help/search.php?hq=business+page&ref=hq#/pages/create.php

and you can get started.  You can also use FBML (
Facebook Markup Language) to customize the page a bit more.

And in this league, every player gets a uniform shirt with the sponsor's logo or text on it.  Our family has participated in this league for several years now, and I have not seen a team go with simply a company URL as the sponsor logo (unless that was the company name as well).  I thought about it this year, but decided not to, mostly because after 14 years we're upgrading our logo and I wanted to use that.  However, we may consider using only a URL for sponsorship logo graphic next year - I'm just curious to the "local" linkage after games.
