    Hi all, I’m wondering if you could give me some advice on offering a discount on my company’s facebook wall.  We are still just entering the Facebook B2B community and would like to offer an exclusive FB discount with a featured product every so often.  We might  not be ready to put the resources towards building and managing an app for discounts with fan gate.  Is it against Facebook terms to use the language “use exclusive discount code xyz to receive % off this product” in a post on your company’s timeline?  I’m having a hard time pulling that information from what Facebook says about contests and promotions.

    Not at all, @hayleysunshine – you can always post a coupon code directly into a status update.  Many people do that and it is a great way to figure out if your Facebook Page is working – make the coupon code for Facebook posting only.  

    Where you get into trouble is awarding a “prize” to someone who didn’t ask to be entered into your contest. – like a random Fan.  Hope that helps!

    @haleysunshine, posting a coupon code into a status update should work. People may start to share it if the product is interesting. 

    Regarding building and managing an app, you don’t need to spend fortune to have someone build a custom fan gating coupon or sweepstakes promotion for your Facebook page. There are some tools, which let you do so for free or for very reasonable $$

    I typically go for like gating it. Take a look at https://www.facebook.com/fopping/app_344556718935745 for an old client of ours with like gated offer.
