Converting your profile into a Page

FACEBOOK - Do you run a business that has become successful at marketing itself through Facebook... but when you started, you setup your business as a normal personal profile? This now no longer needs to be a disaster in the waiting!

Marketing disaster for profiles

Since the introduction of 'Pages', Facebook has been closing personal profiles, where the user is not a real person but is instead a business, product, or other marketing outlet. Not a problem for those just starting out, but obviously a massive issue for businesses that have spent months or years building up a fantastic following of 'friends', only to face the prospect of losing them all when you try to change to using a Page.

Finally Facebook has introduced a solution to this problem. Profiles representing businesses and brands can now be converted to Facebook Pages using the new "Profile To Business Page Migration Tool". Pages offer more robust features for organisations, businesses, brands, and public figures. Since profiles are meant for individual people, they are not suited to meet business needs.
