Gameops.com has introduced a series of Social Media Promotions (ePromos). We have insights on execution as well as resources and tools to create these social media promotions.
This is a Facebook Giveaway Program. At first glance a contest like this seems easy to run and operate, but to keep it scalable (if you have hundreds or thousands of respondents) and authentic and fair you are going to be well served to have help.
Use our easy Facebook giveaway app to run sweepstakes on your Facebook Page. Reward users for engaging with your posts and start real conversations in the comments.
Pick a winner on Facebook automatically, and include multiple posts in your giveaway. Get a Certificate of Validity to show your followers that the contest was fair.
There are countless ways to engage your audience through this comment-based giveaway. We even have templates to help you build, create and jump-start your promotion. Here is a Father’s Day template to showcase the build.
You could run this giveaway for users who comment on a post on your Facebook Page. Ask users to answer an open question, e.g. “What’s your favorite childhood memory about your dad?” It is as easy as updating the template to describe the prize, and edit the participation dates. Then publish the post and images on your Timeline.
According to our own research, a Facebook giveaway can result in…
- 716% more likes
- 1774% more comments
- 1582% more shares
There is another problem on Facebook that we can help solve directly with a Facebook Giveaway.
You don’t own your leads on Facebook. Your Page, and all its engagement and followers, depend on the social network. So how do you turn followers into website visitors, email subscribers… and eventually, customers?
That’s where a giveaway with registration comes in. After building up an active, engaged community on Facebook, your page can act to convert them with a simple prize draw that collects information you can utilize directly.
You can share a promotion exclusively on Facebook as a reward for loyal Page followers, then ask your page followers to share their email contact details. Each leads can then be nurtured and convert – without relying exclusively on social media. This separate Entry Form Giveaway will be featured on Gameops.com in the coming weeks.
As noted, you could do a similar promotion on a smaller scale, but our promotion allows you to tap into some powerful benefits.
