I have a new business venture starting up and need a specific Facebook-page model to help me. Basically i will be traveling around the Midwest renting various VFW halls and Hotel conference centers. I will hand out business cards with transactions inviting people to like my Facebook page to see where i am going next. I need a Facebook page where i can keep a touring schedule basically. ---

So [make one](https://www.facebook.com/pages/create/)? Not sure what you’re asking. ---

I have other Facebook pages but dpn’t have any one that will allow me to make a touring schedule. Is it a sort of third party plug in for Facebook? ---

You can display it as a stickied post, a Note, or a series of Events that you can then invite people to. There are also third-party “apps” that do similar things: > **[Band Profile: Profile Pages for Musicians](https://www.facebook.com/rn.mybandapp)** > > Band Profile: Profile Pages for Musicians. 556,506 likes · 29 talking about this. Showcase your music, shows, and more with Band Profile from ReverbNation: https://apps.facebook.com/rn\_my\_band/ But keep in mind that certain Facebook users (people using FBPurity, for example) may not see posts and updates made by these “apps”. It’s sort of a side effect of all the games-related spam, so now some users will altogether block updates coming from third-party apps. You could do both: use Events and native invites and list them all on an app like that. ---

For business Facebook pages Zuckerberg [insists you pay him or 94 percent of your potential customers](http://boingboing.net/2014/03/23/unless-companies-pay-their-fa.html) will never see your pages. Save your money and buy a domain name, get a web host and drive customers to your own web site. ---

There’s really no reason you shouldn’t do both, along with a mailing list to boot, and maybe Twitter and Google+ as well. There are even tools that will let you post to all of those places simultaneously. 6% of your Facebook fans might be more than the number who would manually check your webpage for updates.
