Hinweis der Redaktion
- Pros of using a sweepstakes:Low barrier to entry (simple form completion)Can work for a wide variety of industriesSweepstakes can gather key user information, such as email or location, important for future marketingCons:Because little is required for entry, there may be more entries that are outside of the target customer profileUsers can potentially enter more than once by using different email addressesThere is often limited additional engagement tied to the promotion once a visitor has entered
- Cons:Because little is required for entry, there may be more entries that are outside of the target customer profileUsers can potentially enter more than once by using different email addressesThere is often limited additional engagement tied to the promotion once a visitor has entered
- Cons:Because little is required for entry, there may be more entries that are outside of the target customer profileUsers can potentially enter more than once by using different email addressesThere is often limited additional engagement tied to the promotion once a visitor has entered
- Pros of using a deal:Low barrier to entry (simple task completion)Expands reach to additional social networks—This can help the Page reach a wider audience or another type of audience than currently reachedCan work for a wide variety of industriesPages get something of value in return, such as further exposure, a like or an email address
- Cons:Again, low barrier to entry means those accessing may or may not be your target clientUsers can potentially enter more than once by using different email addressesThere is often limited additional engagement tied to the promotion once a visitor has entered

- Pros of using a contest:More opportunity for engagement—Entrants are one segment of those participating, while those coming to view entries and vote are another participating group. Together, this can add more overall reach, exposure and interaction to the Page.Entrants are motivated to share with friends—Entrants want votes, so they extend the reach of the contest to their network of friends asking for their vote. This social sharing by entrants to their friends increases the overall reach of the contest. In addition, this friend-to-friend introduction of a Page by an entrant can be a positive referral mechanism. It can add trust and credibility to the Page and its products and services via the friend’s invitation to vote.
- Access to user-generated content—If the promotional rules outline that the entries can be used by the company holding the contest, this can be an excellent method to gather user-generated content relevant to your brand that can be used in future social marketing.
- Fan voting does not mean the best entry necessarily wins—An entrant may barely meet the requirements for submission but may be phenomenal at getting the word out and drumming up voters for their entry. This can have a negative impact on the overall promotion and may cause negative comments, exactly opposite of the type of engagement you hope for!
- Tips:Be very clear about what the entrant needs to submit to meet your entry criteria.The prize value should be in line with the time commitment the entrant will invest in order to develop the entry. (A $30 gift certificate won’t cut it for being required to create a 30-second video trailer that involves actors and editing!)Keep the contest moving! Do not run a month-long contest. The attention span of a Facebook user is not geared toward keeping track of an entry and voting once a day for 30 days. A better span is 5-7 days, or perhaps 10 days if it’s a two-stage contest (initial and final rounds).Set voting to once per day. This encourages entrants to get voters to come back each day, a perfect situation for your Page!

This encourages entrants to get voters to come back each day, a perfect situation for your Page!
- Tips:Know your target audience—Is your target audience using Pinterest or Instagram already? If so, a multi-network social promotion could work well.Ensure the process is seamless—To ensure the highest completion rates, make sure the promotion is doing the work for the user and providing the best possible experience. Apps integrating OAuth for login or other integrated means to access the second service within the process (no ”open in new browser window” issues) are critical. Users must come, understand and be able to complete in short order.Be active on the second social network! Make sure your company has a solid presence on the second social network. It is of less value if you want users to tweet or pin if your brand isn’t also there to follow!
- Pros of using a multi-network social promo:Extend the brand to more social locations—This type of promotion can work well for a company whose audience is active on more than one social network or for a company seeking to continue gaining Facebook traction along with expanding and enlarging visibility on Pinterest, for example.Image-driven—Images are powerful in social media and a multi-network social promo using images can capture the attention of viewers and invite engagement such as sharing and comments, all of which can serve to boost visibility and drive referral traffic.Suitable for a wide variety of businesses—A multi-network social promotion can work for apparel firms to credit unions, venues to radio stations and more.
- Cons:Narrower audience—To be relevant, your audience must be users of both Facebook and the other social platform. This can decrease the number of users who participate.Not as easy to complete—The pinning, tweeting or posting could require a login to the second social network, which can increase the dropout rate.Limitations of the social network—In the case of a Facebook and Instagram multi-network promotion, the fact that Instagram does not allow desktop users to load photos can cause higher abandon rates. Users on a PC would have to switch to their mobile device to load the image to Instagram. Anything not easy can decrease follow-through.
