It’s been a pretty busy last couple of months since we released the new Platform. We’re getting about 30 new users a day in average and we’re reaching slowly but surely the thousand accounts.

One of our most popular application so far have been the Page Builder Basic, allowing you to customize easily your Facebook page thanks to 14 widgets. But let’s take a closer look at the features available.

The Design Editor

A Page Builder Free is a great way to start and allows you to see how the Page Buider works. Anyway, after playing around with it a little bit and if your needs are so, you’ll feel rapidly limited. One of the first feature that comes with a Basic Plan is the ability to tweak the design of each of your widget. Everytime you add a widget or edit one, you’ll see a new tab next to the first settings tab named “design”. This tab lets you edit all the colors of your widgets and you’ll even have the choice to display the border and header of the widget.

You’ll have the choice of the color of your background header, text, border and many more. You are totally free to customize your widget to get the design that you want. Also, removing the border and even the header of your widgets gives your page design a much nicer aspect since the “block” effect would be gone.

The Facebook tab name

While we offer a limited choice (4 names) during the installation of a Page Builder Free, it is completely up to you to decide about your Facebook tab name with a Basic Plan. Sometimes, having the name of your choice can be important, that’s why Page builder Basic lets you have your very own.

No limitation regarding your intern tabs

Page Builder Basic lets you create as many intern tabs as you want. This means that inside your Tigerlily’s tab, you’ll have the number of tab of your choice. You will be able to dedicate a tab for your rss feed, another for videos (youtube, dailymotion), another for your flickr photos, etc… You won’t have to put everything one the same page.

No Tigerlily Branding

With a Basic Plan it won’t even be noticeable to your users what application you’re using (unless you want to). Switching from a free to a basic plan will stop displaying the Tigerlily branded footer. You’ll be free as a bird.

Want to try it out?

Well, it’s not much. The monthly fee for a Page Builder Basic is 29$/month. But what’s best than trying it out before, see if it fits. By using the code: “pagebuilderbasic2011“, you’ll be able to enjoy one free month of a Page Builder Basic. Simply fill the code before confirming your payment and the total should go down from 29$ to 0$. Then it’s up to you to witch back the next month, but make sure to tell us what you think!

Today is a very special day for us. Until now, we’ve only been telling about our new platform to very few people, and see if there wasn’t anything to get fixed before really promoting it. But we figured that the best way was to get our product out there and improve it along the way, with the many feedback that we had and will have.

Tigerlily is now a platform

The Tigerlily Platform gives you access to our set of self-serve applications, all dedicated to help you acquire, engage and monetize your customers on social media. Basically, it works like any other platform. Simply create an account, choose an application, install it on your Facebook page and invite other user to join your account.

We are thrilled to release this platform and we’re constantly working on it to fix bugs and add requested features. One of the major change is that everything is now happening outside Facebook. For those of you who were familiar with the previous version of Page Builder (called FPMS), everything has now been redesigned and re-thought to work inside a dedicated dashboard, yours.

The Applications

Regarding the applications available, you have the choice between two applications: Page Builder and Coupons. The best way for you to learn about them would be to visit our website. They should soon be followed by a new application called Wall Manager once it will be ready.

Enough said. If you’re interested, feel free to create your account and tell us what you think. We’re always looking for feedback. Oh, and we are offering several plans including a free one.

We are thrilled to announce that Fubiz is now using Tigerlily Page Builder Basic on its Facebook page. Over the years, Fubiz succeeded in becoming one of the most famous website dedicated to creativity, trends and street culture.  Such a phenomenon that it has recently lunched its own iPhone app.

With more than 53,000 fans, we are glad to see one of our first Page Builder Basic being used to promote such quality content on Facebook. Available at this address, you’ll now be able to access the latest news directly through the Facebook page.

If you would like to promote your content on your Facebook page too, Page Builder is made for you. Starting at only 29$/month (but there is a free plan too), Page Builder Basic allows to you to create beautiful Facebook tab to give a unique look to your page. Try it out and tell us what you think!

Facebook has just updated its promotions guidelines.

• Companies no longer require prior written Facebook approval to administer a promotion on Facebook.
• Companies no longer require a minimum media spend investment to support the promotion.

Even if they no longer need to obtain approval from Facebook to run a promotion entirely within Facebook, companies still need to comply with Facebook’s promotions guidelines :

• NO Photo contests which require profile photo manipulation
• NO Status update contests which require posting status updates for entry
• NO Contest entries once a user has become a fan

Companies also still need to use a third party application to run their promotions. Tigerlily Coupons and Tigerlily Page Builder are perfectly matching Facebook requirements and we are proud to say that you can install them right now by signing up to the Tigerlily platform.

The Tigerlily Platform is the best tool to create engaging and interactive promotions on your Facebook Fan Page. We pay much attention to Facebook Promotions policy and using our platform, you can be sure that everything will be ok.

Tigerlily was nominated  for the Best Advertising or Marketing Tech Startup 2010 at  the Techcrunch Europas.

We’d like to thank all of you for your support and we’d like to say congratulations to all the winners like Moshi Monsters.

You may have noticed that we just relaunched our website today.

We are working really hard since May on new products and new features and we can’t wait to introduce our brand new creation : The Tigerlily Platform.

This platform will offer our customers a new way to manage their social media strategy. We’ll launch it in a few weeks so register now to get noticed as soon as it’s available.

The platform will open with 2 applications but many other will launch in the next few months :

• Page Builder :  Formerly called ‘CMS’ (that was a bit too geeky), Page builder lets you install and customize a tab easily on your Facebook page, to make it sticky, acquire fans and drive them to your website.
• Coupons :Coupons lets you offer free promotional coupons on your Facebook Page. Turn your Facebook Fans into real life customers and boost your sales !

We can’t wait to hear your feedbacks. Let us know what you think and stay tuned for updates.

Dear Tigerlily FPMS User,

As pointed out in an earlier post, Facebook has announced major design changes. Consequently the look of your Tigerlily tab on will be modified. So that you can anticipate and update your design, here is more on changes to come.

Fan Page Tabs change to 520 pixels

Tigerlily FPMS app currently fits in a 760 pixels-wide tab and allows you to have 2 columns of widgets. Tab width will switch to 520 pixels very shorlty. If you have designed a nice header for your page, you might want to change its size to 520px. The diagram below shows proportionately how much space we are talking about. (Ouch, 31%)

Good News

Good news is, we have developed a smart design as an answer to facebook new rules. We will let you organize your widgets in two tabs instead of just one. Twice as much content and twice as many widgets on your Page !
