New Facebook Business Page Design to Share for the Napkin Wizard

I have a new Facebook business page design to share on this “ Facebook Friday ”.  It’s one I recently created for the Napkin Wizard ( @NapkinWizard) Jimmy Ng.   I love how creative Jimmy is! He has created more than 200 napkin folding designs, and wanted to start a website and blog to share the designs with others who share his love for entertaining.  Jimmy has seen first-hand the ice-breaker / conversation-starter that a beautifully set table with a one-of-a-kind napkin fold can be.

FB pages can't request friendships, which is why some businesses felt that operating as a profile (person) was more desirable than creating a business page. For many reasons, it's best (hands-down) to create a Facebook business page, not a profile, if you are a business.  In Facebook's own words: " Pages offer more robust features for organizations, businesses, brands, and public figures, w...
