EccoLights Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 For those of you out there that have a Facebook page, Twitter, Flickr or any other social network for your business. What kind of contests do you have to promote yourself with? Were looking for some new, fun ideas to get more involved. So let's hear what you have done or plan on doing or even just heard someone else doing... So far we have done the classic *reach xxx fans* contest, we did a scavenger hunt on our site as one, we did a "vote for your fav picture" contest and the winner got their picture painted on a party mug and I'm sure I'm forgetting about one or two others we have done.... So, lets hear your success/horror stories about contests =) TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
001 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I did one where you posted a pic, and the one with the most likes won a prize, second and third got something too. This was about 3 weeks before they made this contest "illegal" in fb land. It worked though, I gained a few hundred fans. I was going to do one for this Christmas season but it is now illegal...

Kitn Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Do you have a blog you could run the contest on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EccoLights Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 Thank you all for your input on this and Kitn, thanks for the link too! Going to do some more research and may just set it up on our website and just "promote" it on FB =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
001 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I do have a blog but its all a numbers game on Facebook. They trust the numbers. Someone with 5,000 likes is more trustworthy than someone with only 100 in their eyes. If I did the promo on the blog it wouldn't give me the interaction I enjoyed from the other contests. I guess it will be more of an organic push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
