I will earn a small commission when you purchase a product or service from an affiliate link at no extra cost to you which helps with the costs of operating Nevue Fine Art Marketing. I will only recommend products I have used, found helpful to my art business and are companies I trust.

 

Choose The Right Facebook Templet

Every art business is different and how you optimize your Facebook Business Page will depend on what you sell and how you sell it.

For example, an artist who teaches art classes needs to book appointments, an e-commerce business sells products online and a gallery wants to drive traffic to their physical location.

Facebook wants your Facebook Business Page to succeed and offers different pre-made templets that support different business goals.

To find and change these templets go to SETTINGS on the top of your Facebook Business Page and click Templates and Tabs on the left menu bar.

Your Facebook Business Page starts with the “default” template but you can change it at any time with the following:

  • Nonprofits
  • Restaurants and Cafe
  • Venues
  • Business
  • Politicians
  • Services
  • Shopping

Changing the templet will automatically change the call-to-action buttons available on the toolbar.

This might erase existing tabs you have on your current theme.

You can look at the order of tabs and recommended settings for each theme prior to selecting it.

To change your theme go to TEMPLATES and click EDIT.

Facebook Page Call-To-Action

Your call-to-action button should be the main action you want your audience to carry out.

For example, if you would like your, viewers, to purchase your paintings or drawings from your personal artist website the call-to-action button should say “Shop Now” and link them directly to your online art gallery.
