Now how to manage a FB Page for a celebrity?                                         

Establish a tone of voice                                       

 Every celebrity has a unique personality. This should reflect in the tone of voice of the FB page of the celebrity. If the celebrity has a dominant persona, his FB page can have an assertive tone of voice. If the celebrity wants to be more public-friendly, then the FB Page can have a more casual and friendly tone of voice.

Maintain the social presence                                           

The celebrity's presence has to be actively maintained in the social media. This can be accomplished in the following manner.                                                                                       

Posting on the private life of the celebrity Fans, media and public are always inquisitive about the other life of the star- their private life. Some quick looks into the star's home, their wardrobe or some snaps of their leisure or sport activities would help.                                          

Caution must be exercised while posting about a star's personal details. The details revealed should not be controversial or damaging to the star's reputation.

Posting or Tweeting unexpectedly

Posting behind-the scenes                                      

"Behind the scene" actions are fondly looked forward to by fans. Posting behind- the- scene views reveals a lot about the star- their hard work, their true nature, their attitude etc.

Following a storyline                                       

 Some celebrities would like their posts to follow a storyline or sequence. Posting such a narrative requires some planning and careful execution.                                   

 Be fan-friendly                                          

Some people would just die to have an audience and your celebrity already has one! Try to maintain the fan base by regularly responding to the fan mail, acknowledging their suggestions and feedback, acceding to their requests whenever possible and commenting suitably. Always compliment the fans for their active interest in the celebrity.

Maintain an editorial calendar

Sign off in style                                           

In contrast to popular belief, a good old "thank you" fetches much more than any other sign-offs. Even "cheers" or "regards" come second and third. Better still; make you're signing off stylish reflecting your unique self. The customer will not definitely forget you.
