2 Facebook Company Pages - Best way to merge
-
Hi
I am about to set up a Facebook company page under our current brand name Key - however in March we'll be re-branding to Manutan UK.
I didn't want to wait until March to start using Facebook (we're so behind!) but when we re-brand what are the best steps to take.
Here are my options - I'd love some help!
1. Set up a Key company to actively use now & a separate Manutan page just to secure the page - only using Key until March then merge the business pages (I did read however Facebook won't allow it if the names are different?)
2. Set up a Key page now & in March request a name change of the page & vanity URL
We obviously don't want to lose any likes/followers we've gained between now & March
Does anyone have any advice or experience with this?
Thank you

Hi Becky
One was called Pigley Stairs (Social Media), the second one Carousel Projects (Digital Marketing). I was able to merge the two together.
They are completely different!
I hope that helps
Regards
Nigel

Hi
Thanks for replying. Was your old business name similar to the new business name?
I read that you'll have trouble if the names are really different?
If I set one up for Manutan - which we wont' actively use until March, and one for Key, then merge the Manutan one with the Key page can I change the the name of the Key page to Manutan?

I did this recently and changed the old business page to match the other. Then I merged them when the change had taken place. Be really careful that you choose the right one to merge to. I mean, get them the right way round.

Can You Aggregate Likes from Pages on Your Site to Your Homepage?
I think the Facebook widget is great for social proof if you have a lot of people who like you. (the widget that shows faces of people who like you) Let's say that you create a resource that gets 100 likes. Do those "Likes" only count at the page level or can they be aggregated into a total "Likes" count that you can show on your home page and on the Facebook widget? Or are "Likes" in the Facebook widget only for people who like your Facebook page? (not those who "Like" your site).

Anyone have a great example of a confirmation page with a social element?
We're thinking of adding social elements to our confirmation page, which as of right now doesn't ask for any specific action. Might as well take advantage. i.e. "Tweet this" or "Share this" with a shortened link to the landing page. Does anyone have any great examples of Twitter/Facebook being incorporated into a confirmation page? Visually pleasing, striking, great copy? It can be a confirmation for any type of action, whether you've just bought something, subscribed to something, joined a site, anything really.
