Cover Photo Designer Allows Non-Techies to Create a Highly Stylized
Facebook Image
VENLO, Netherlands--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 17, 2012--
Vistaprint N.V. (Nasdaq: VPRT) today announced new features for
Pagemodo, the popular, do-it-yourself solution for small businesses
looking to leverage Facebook® to market their business. The new features
are designed to take advantage of Facebook’s “Timeline” format. These
new tools help small businesses customize their Facebook Page to truly
stand out on Facebook.
“What we’ve done is elevate Pagemodo as a tool not only to integrate
with all the changes Facebook has implemented, but to continue to allow
users to take advantage of the apps - formerly called pages– that they
have built with us over the years,” said Haroon Mokhtarzada,
Vistaprint’s Vice President of Global Digital Product and co-founder of
Webs. “With Pagemodo’s new toolset, small businesses don’t need any
technical design skills to create a fresh, stylish Facebook layout that
will attract visitors with a professional look. Our goal was to enhance
the user experience for fans and help small business owners put their
best foot forward using their Facebook page as an online destination.”
One new Pagemodo tool users can leverage to optimize their Facebook page
is the cover photo designer. The designer allows users to quickly and
easily design a professional looking image for their Facebook Page. A
step-by-step process guides users through the creation of their design
that allows for customization of backgrounds, fonts, colors and images.
Additionally, users can now customize images for their Facebook Page
apps so that they truly stand out on their Timeline and create a strong
call to action for customers - highlighting custom content, an email
sign-up sheet, or special offers. All of these enhancements are designed
to allow small businesses to look professional while taking advantage of
the new Timeline layout.
“Facebook’s move to the Timeline format has created new and valuable
space that businesses can use to create custom apps that provide value
to customers and fans,” Mokhtarzada continued. “By taking advantage of
this very important real estate, which is located above the fold, small
businesses can showcase content, offers, or more in-depth information
about a company. Most important, users can continue to drive traffic to
the different apps in creative ways like email campaigns or via the
Facebook news stream.”
This latest update illustrates Vistaprint’s continued commitment to
small business success via social media and ensures owners have the
correct tools to take the next step in building an effective Facebook
presence.
Pagemodo is offered free of charge with optional upgrades for access to
a full set of professional features. To sign-up for Pagemodo, visit www.pagemodo.com.
