Dimensions for Facebook Images

With Facebook forcing everyone one including business fan pages to go to the new timeline, there are some advantages.

One of these advantages is that you customize several of the images on the timeline.

I am often looking this information up, so I thought it would be helpful to me (as well as others) to do a post with the dimensions of the images that are used on the new Facebook Timeline.

• Cover Image:  851 X 315
• Profile Picture: 180 X 180
• Custom Thumbnails: 111 X 74

Are business cards a sign of the times?

The 2-by-3.5-inch pieces of card stock have long been a staple in business, but in the digital world they are seen as irrelevant and wasteful says Matt Stevens, from the Los Angeles Times.

Young web savvy business executives are viewing business cards as being somewhat a waste of time.  If you have a smart phone, e-mail, and a LinkedIn account, why even bother carrying them.

About 85 million people manage their professional networks with LinkedIn. Some 77 million smartphone users have downloaded the Bump app, which allows them to bump their phones together and instantly exchange contact information.

Button Sponsorship Available

DNSTC assists with the promotion of Gaming Tournaments with The Dragon’s Lair – Ultimate Gaming Arena. These tournaments can draw hundreds of gamers to the events; however, we also provide gaming as an activity for other events to help in drawing in attendees to events. We have booked several venues throughout the area and would like to offer the opportunity to other small businesses to be sponsors for our venues. Costs relating to maintaining and purchasing the equipment needed for these gaming events are very high and there is a very limited budget for marketing materials. This is why we have several sponsorship programs where you get “Get the word out” about your business, while we provide marketing materials for our gaming events.

We have an event schedule for 3/3/2012 where you can be a button sponsor. 

Here is what you will get for your $25 sponsorship:

We will distribute buttons with the event name on them. These buttons will be attached to cards that will feature your business name and phone number. We will also have a sign on our tables stating that the event buttons are sponsored by, listing the button sponsors. We will also place the sponsor names on our membership handouts and on the webpage for the event.

Deadline for sponsorship is:  Wednesday, February 29, 2012.

The application form can be found here.
