I started this page 2 years ago and it growing steady and does get me clients.. I run competitions and regular offers on it.

I just think sometimes if your very close to something its hard to be objective.

So if you have any comments to make I would really appreciate your feedback
on how to improve it etc

    Remove the like count tab and replace it with one of your custom tabs that are hidden. There is no reason to ever have the like count tab up on the first like as it is redundant. The like count is right under the page name, no need to show it twice.

    Other than that looks good, nice engagement and good talking about %

    Hi Carol,
    Nice page. I help agencies with their fanpages so I went ahead and took a look. I've never had a problem with the like count showing, and I think because it is such a high number it gives people the social proof they need to like a page, the count under the profile or cover is so small no one is going to notice that. I would keep the count number up, show it proudly. But that is just me. Testing it is probably best.

    Now for your posts, you have a lot of great posts, but very few just text updates. Did you know that your reach for the average update will defer depending on the type of update? Links and video get about a quarter of the reach that your text only update does, and pictures get about half. I have a blog post about this, and a few other resources have mentioned it as well.

    Pics and Videos do get the most shares, so of course keep using them, and then your links are probably to your own site so you want to use them as well, but try to throw in some text only updates more often to see how your reach increases.

    For links you could post the link in comments too, or test that out.

    Other than that, I would play with the tabs and see what people are responding to there. And promote them more often.

    On your website the links in the top corner to social media do not work, I think for your industry Pinterest would be amazing.

    I would love to feature your fanpage on my blog to talk about how you are doing such a great job, if that's OK, please let me know, I'm on skype, I get PM and I have email.

    Hope this helps, have a great day.
    Mary

    Mary as my American friends would say " you had me at hello "

    how many ways can I say thank you. Everything you say is so valuable and I agree about the likes I do show it off as I think people are sheep and like to follow a herd. I of course adore sheep and consider myself one of them lol I am off to add you to my skype right now and would I mind being on your blog ... hmmm let me think.....YES please
