We are creating a platform where fanpage owners will be able to create contests and add to their pages. I believe most of the members of this club are managing multiple pages and have experience in running contests and promotions. Other than photo contests which type of contests we should add to our platform which can help you engage users.

I love the idea of platforms but my biggest problem is that every platform I look into will only let me post to one page.  I run 3 pages for the same small family businesses.  Yes, they have 3 locations (all in the same line but different enough to have their own customer bases), but they aren’t big enough to justify monthly fees that the platforms want to charge for handling multiple pages.

For this reason, I’m relearning programming   Not my favorite part of code to say the least!

@richardmclaughlin is right, treasure hunts are a good way to engage the public. As @moinshaikh said, coupons (revealed after “like”) and fan of the week (have them answer something, submit a joke, riddle or share an experience) is a great idea too. 

We just released a fun and interactive treasure hunt for Disney (http://apps.facebook.com/disneylandgowild/) in this Facebook promotion there were several fun and interactive pieces built in to engage the public and keep them coming back. Granted, this is over the top, but several ideas in one place for you to check out.
