MUST READ: Sweeping Changes to Facebook Business Pages
Facebook have announced major changes to Facebook Business Pages that will take effect on 10th March 2011.

In a nutshell, Facebook are changing the way Facebook works "under the covers". It's a bit techo, but stay with me - Facebook are changing how Tabs on pages work - they're phasing out FBML (Facebook mark up language) in favour of iFrames (that is, the website code used behind the scenes to build the tabs on pages). Still with me? :o)

What does it mean for you?
If you currently DO NOT have a Facebook business page and you wait too long, after 10th March you will not be able to add custom tabs like you can today (using FBML) when you finally do decide to create one. We don't even fully understand the full impact of the changes yet.

If this is you, my suggestion is that you get your page created asap - well before 10th March!

For now, existing pages with existing custom tabs (using FBML) are fine and can be edited.

However, even on existing Facebook pages, if you don't already have custom tabs set up (you know the ones you see with an image, a video link, a newsletter sign up box, etc), after 10th March, you won't be able add this functionality to your page as easily as you can today. We don't even know if you'll be able to add Custom Tabs. So that means no Welcome Tabs, Special Offer Tabs, Newsletter Sign Up Tabs, you get the picture.

What you need to do
If you have ever considered getting a Facebook Business page for your business but have been putting it off, you need to act now. Don't wait until 10th March as it will be too late (you have only 23 days!). It takes time to put a page together and you do not want to be caught in the last minute rush and miss out.

We can help you
We can help you set up your Facebook Business page or fix up your existing page. We have built many client pages and you can view examples here.

To encourage you to take action (remember, only 23 days left) and to avoid a last minute rush, I'm going to reward the action takers with a $100 discount.

Not only that, I'll throw in Google Analytics on two of your Facebook Business page Tabs. So that's a total saving of $197.

First 10 pages booked only. Act now, click here. Use CouponCode: SAVVYPAGE

Give it to us and we'll sort it out for you.

If I totally lost you when I mentioned the word techo :o), I explain it all more fully on our Savvy Web Women Facebook page here.

"The Perfect Person"

"As online business owners, we understood the importance of using social media but found the setup all a little difficult.

We had heard Wendy speak on the correct use of social media and knew that she was the perfect person to assist us in the setup of our Facebook branding and fan page. The process was an absolute pleasure with great liaison between Wendy and ourselves and I am absolutely delighted with the result. Thank you Wendy!"

Five Minutes with...

Jodi-Anne Hasler of Pet Perfection

Question 1
What has been your biggest challenge in business and how did you overcome it?

Employing my first staff member. As I was the only person in my business for many years, my clients came to my business for my work. So when I became pregnant and decided to employ another dog groomer to help and then have them do all the grooming while I had my first child, a lot of clients kicked up a fuss, refused to let the new staff member touch their pet, some even left. Being pregnant helped me and the business overcome this challenge as I had no choice and soon - to my relief - the majority of clients settled down just fine. We still have this problem to some degree every time I employ someone new, but we now have a "no choice of groomer" policy (the really stubborn clients we charge extra), where my clients understand that their dog will be groomed by the next available groomer no matter who they are. To do this I train all my groomers to a high standard and expect no less on every dog groomed.

Question 2
If you had to start your business again from scratch, what would you do differently?

Learn how to say "No" a lot sooner. Other than that nothing, I have no regrets. The only thing is that the industry has developed a lot since I started 17 years ago and where there was no training available back then, there are many dog grooming course becoming available now.

Question 3
Who do you admire and why?

My mum!I worked as a staff member at my mum's Ballroom Dancing studio as I was growing up and now she work for me as a receptionist/bather 3 days a week(which sometime includes babysitting), on top off babysitting for my two sisters the other two weekdays, and helping out with all the kids on weekends. And although she is still pushing me to be a better person, groomer etc. she is my biggest supporter. She is totally amazing, I would not be the person I am today and can only wish to be the person she is with a huge heart and never ending will.

Question 4
It takes a lot of determination and dedication to succeed in business.What keeps you motivated?
My clients, both canine and human are my motivation. They become part of my Pet Perfection family, a lot of my clients have seen me grow from a shy 19 year old, through the tough starting up years, on to marriage and children and in return I have seen many of their puppies grow up and pass on.

The support given and received from both sides is what keeps me going. Working with animals is not for everyone but for me I could not do anything else, even the little buggers that bite still reward you, in the knowledge you have made them comfortable and sweet looking for the next few months at least.
Question 5
What are your 3 biggest success tips?

Get personal with your clients.
Great Customer Service.
Continue to learn and improve, nothing is ever perfect.

Tell us about Jodi-Anne...

I run Pet Perfection an innovative dog grooming salon in Wheelers Hill, where the dogs are treated as if they were our own and their human owners are able to watch them being groomed to their request and needs through our closed circuit TV, while relaxing with a tea or coffee. Those clients who are time poor are able to drop off and pick up later.
