9 Unusual Facebook Pages You Never Thought You’d LIKE

9 Unusual Facebook Pages You Never Thought You’d LIKE 

Humans of New York

This page offers the stories of random people in New York — ranging from a happy couple who met via an arranged marriage to an actor who works as a police officer to pay the bills.
It’s an awesome idea. And it’s very well executed.

What I like:

  • Photos are beautiful! They catch your attention & provide a great visual experience for the audience
  • Compelling cover photo — professional with a powerful background
  • Awesome stories told on the page — scrolling through my news feed, I always stop for their posts >> Click to Tweet
This is one of my favorite pages of all time:
The Chicken Chick at Egg Carton Labels

The Chicken Chick at Egg Carton Labels is a retailer of egg carton labels & other chicken-related products.
But this page about chickens & eggs is anything but boring!

What I like:

  • Page is FUN — owners openly engage fans in interesting conversations (they even named a hen “Ellen DeHENeres”)
  • Page is consistent, every day there are at least 6 to 8 posts — humor, giveaways, blog posts & promotional items
What better place than a chicken page to crack a few jokes
Qubies

I know in 2 seconds what this page is about!
Qubies is an Australian company that helps customers freeze & store breast milk & baby food.

What I like: 

  • Page is very direct — even name explains exactly what page is about
  • Page managers post consistently — 2 to 3 times a day with a good mix of humor, quotes, promotional posts & giveaways >> Click to Tweet
The right meme can always go big:
World Turtle Day

American Tortoise Rescue hosts World Turtle Day every May 23 to encourage people to help turtles & tortoises survive & thrive.
They’ve turned that occasion into an awesome Facebook page!

What I like:

  • Page managers are personable & skilled — I like how they give names & personalities to these lovable creatures (cue Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song)
  • Page has built a strong community — with 5,300 fans, the community on this page is very active
I’d like to see them post photos like this more often:

Key Takeaways

Before I close, let’s review the key lessons we learned from these unusual Facebook pages:
  1. Have a personality
  2. Share stories about you & your customers
  3. Post engaging content — questions, fill-in-the-blank posts & photos
  4. Be consistent
  5. Have fun
  6. Be YOU (authentic)
Of course, for businesses it’s all about the bottom line in the end.
But your Facebook page doesn’t have to be boring!
