Get a Custom Name for Your Facebook Fan Page

Custom user name for a Facebook fan page adds another level of branding to it. Other than branding value you get a descent URL for your fan page which is easier to remember also. Without a custom name your fan page URL contains some id (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jafaloo/137906492961873) which is difficult to remember and the URL looks very long but when you set a custom name for your Facebook fan page the URL looks descent, shorter and easy to remember (http://www.facebook.com /Jafaloo).

 

Earlier the requirement for setting up a custom name for fan page was minimum 25 likes for the page. But now Facebook has withdrawn that requirement and now any one can set a custom name for their fan page.

 

How to get a custom name for Facebook fan page

For getting a custom name for your Facebook fan page visit the Facebook Username page link and select the page for which you want to set the custom name and enter a custom name, click on Check Availability button.

 

       

 

If the custom name if available you will see a pop up as shown below, then click on the confirm button if you want to set the custom name. That’s all, just now you have created a custom name for your fan page.

 

               

 

This is really a great initiative from Facebook by removing the condition of minimum 25 likes. Really this will add more value to your branding.
