WHICH TYPE OF CONTEST?
Four types of contests on
Facebook: sweepstakes, essay,
photo and video.
The type of contest you run
matters because each one
appeals to a different audience.
A sweepstakes contest is easy to
enter and you can set it up so
that you get a few key pieces of
information from your customers.

FACEBOOK’S POLICIES AND GUIDELINES
Must notify winners
privately before
congratulating them
publicly.
No call’s to action on
Facebook Cover
One of the biggest rules
that Facebook insists on is
clearly stating that
Facebook is not sponsoring
the giveaway.
PICK A RELEVANT PRIZE
Pick a prize that represents
your business.
People are coming to your
page because they are
interested in what you do.
KEEP IT SIMPLE
What’s the secret to running a
successful campaign? Make it
easy to enter.
Yes, there are lots of examples
of super-innovative contests
that attract plenty of attention,
but there are even more
examples of innovative
contests that flop because they
are too complicated.
TELL THE WORLD
If you’re hosting a contest on
Facebook, make it social! Don’t
just post details to your page.
Promote it on Twitter, include it
in email newsletters and send
out reminders. It’s okay to
remind your fans periodically
that the contest is going on—just
be sure to promote your
business along the way. Don’t
just talk about the contest, or
people might lose interest
Boost it?
FOLLOW UP
Just because the contest is
over doesn’t mean you’re done
Follow Up
If you used a third party app,
add those address to your
email campaign
