If you’ve already searched for some Fan Page inspiration and undertaken the task of building a custom landing page for your business’s Facebook presence, you may now be in the market for some features that will further engage your fans.

A nice feature of the modern social web is that it’s modular. You can plug in and customize pre-made pieces of software (often created by other users or companies), and mix and match what works best for you without a lot of technical know-how. Facebook works the same way with apps.

Many Facebook apps are built for casual use, like the social games and quizzes you may see your friends using in their personal feeds. But there are quite a few apps that are ideal for a business Fan Page. These are useful for customizing your page with greater detail, showcasing your content from other social sites and getting more information from your customers. Here are five essential Facebook apps that your business may want to take for a spin.

Thanks for the Facebook fan page info

Mashable always has great advice.

FBML is a fantastic addition to Facebook because it allows you to turn your Fan page into a mini web site.

I have used FBML to customize a welcome page for non members and added a form for a free gift for people that join.

Fan pages using FBML are the next big thing for businesses on facebook, offering much more than groups.

I bought a domain name and use it as a redirect to my actual fan page www.StepLadderFanPage.com

Non members will automatically be fed my custom FBML welcome page.

Great stuff!
