Facebook Fanpage Contest Platform. (6 posts)

  • 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 was asked about making a social media treasure hunt type contest once and I never got around to it. Hunting for things like getting a Twitter RT (or 2, or 5…) related to the game.Getting a new follower from Alaska or Zimbabwe (or specific location in between).  Getting people to sign up for a newsletter.
    You get the idea, I hope.

  • 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!

  • @adnankhan fan only coupon, fan of the week/month etc. might also be interesting.

  • @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. :)

  • @richardmclaughlin and @dhsllc treasure hunt looks like good way to engage users. I will discuss with team and see how we can implement this type of contest in our platform.

     
    @dedimason I still believe platform are cheaper than creating something by yourself.

    @moinshaikh Yes we have plans for including coupon/sweepstakes contest in our platform.
