  • Will be later today, @richardmclaughlin

    I wrote my thoughts about this on my blog, which wasn’t all that favourable, but you have to work with what they give you. :)

  • @richardmclaughlin I have yet to see them.  @russellallert – like the article, nice “doodle”

  • @juleswebb Thanks, Jules! I liked my doodle as well. :)

  • I’m trying it today, @richardmclaughlin and so far I’m not impressed with the results.  I bought the promotion early in the morning and 8 hours later it’s only reached 19% of my audience.  Most of who it reached was organic.  I’ll report more tomorrow. 

    And yes, @russellallert – I like the doodle too :)

  • @andrea-vahl Thanks, Andrea! :)

    Not good to hear. I will be launching mine soon. Maybe we can compare notes here.

  • ….I can’t seem to get the insert photo http to work, but I noticed a significant rise in engagement with post promotes.  I hope it works as well when more people start using it..   The chart is here.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/ndonelly/7305149652/ and you’ll see the “bump” on insights for the page promote time……

  • i was  going to   , it appeared on  my post    and i left the post  and now i  cant  find it…????…  its interesting.

    ..i assume i will  look at it  that it will be   bringing  my  bottom   likes   up to the top ffor a  new  view of us….

  • im  doing one  now….will report  later..it  added  77 overnight..starting late…

  • So . . . how did it work out, @annfurnivall?

    I’m so behind!  I posted something time sensitive on the 30th, but didn’t know about the promoted posts yet.  Ran my posts as ads instead.  Promoted posts would have probably brought a lot more business in if I’d known about them.  OOPS!

  • @dedi      who knows!!!!    i was  pleased  ….. over  700  people    who  were  fans  but not lately  and/or  their   friends  for  10$$….and  most of it  came   during the  first  5$  of   the promotion….i reached  48%  and  over 2000 people, out of  2800  fans on  the page…..i have some  questions  about it on another thread and hope   one of the mods or any of the  experts    will   respond…the  facebook info  said to pick a  strong   post and i  think i  did and  had a pretty  good picuture….  …and also picked the  good  time  here,  evening….

    my  best post lately tho  for engagement  was   the  garden party people…where i   had  76 pictures on of   customers   at our  event….. that  was  great  ….many   looked and  tgged and  shared….lots of  friends and  families  together having fun…

  • @dedimason i replied above….HOWS   your   golf   page   going?…you  must  be in  full swing  by  now….  

  • @annfurnivall ~ That sounds like a good thing!  I’ll have to remember that the next time I have something time sensitive.  I wish I could promote lots of posts, but I’d get in too much trouble when he saw his credit card statements, LOL!
