Want to make those page suggestions a little bit more personal? This morning Facebook began letting users include personal messages when they suggest a page to a friend.
It’s not a major change, however it could increase the number of people that become a fan after sending the invite as including personal messages provide users with the opportunity to custom tailor their invites. For those looking to promote their page more effectively, custom messages could be the exact thing necessary to get users over the hurdle of becoming a fan.
I’m not quite sure what other dramatic benefit there is here, but it’s definitely useful for those looking to promote their page to their friends (or have user do the same). While it would be great to be able to split test various messages, Facebook doesn’t provide a system for tracking such subtleties currently. Will you be using this feature to promote your page?
Thanks to Kien Lee of Senatus for sending us the tip!
