How To Tag Photos In Facebook Fan Pages

Facebook Fan PagesAs an owner of a fan page on Facebook, it’s a very useful asset to allow fans to tag themselves. It’s not that well known, but this is something you can do very easily on Facebook. I first found it after endless searching on Google and finally stumbled across a thread that referenced this. It seems that a lot of fan page owners don’t realise that you can do this, so we’ve produced a short video demo to show you how it’s done.

For some reason it’s not set as a default option on Facebook, though once it’s enabled you have the option to either tag your fans, or fans can go in and tag themselves. Just in case anyone wants to run a competition that involves people tagging themselves in a photo on your page, be aware that only fans of the page are enabled to do so. As the new promotion guidelines state that you can’t run a competition that requires someone becoming a fan of the page, this still limits you in terms of the competitions you can run on your page. It is still an incredibly valuable asset to have, as anyone that goes in and tags themselves will have that information fed back to their feed thus increasing the visibility of your page.

    The post says that ‘once it’s enabled you have the option to either tag your fans, or fans can go in and tag themselves’, but I’ve enabled it and still cannot tag fans who are not also my personal friends. I don’t want to friend all my clients, but I do want to tag them in videos. How can I do it?

    We were already allowing fans to tag on our page, but it still does not allow us to tag our fans. We are a Senior Portrait Studio and we want to tag our fans when we post thier photos and videos. When we try to tag them our fans do not pop up our Admin “friends” pop up as options instead. Can you help?
