Promoting a Facebook Contest
-
Hi, Mozzers-
I'm running a contest for a client of mine via Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/barrettmoving. The prizes are great an iPad2 and an iPod Touch! The contest is pretty cool too. Basically it's a papercraft / travel thing that appeals to a wide range of people. Anyway, here's my question - I've started promoting the contest via social media, the website, online contests...like to get to promoting it on relevant blogs too. I'm in the beginning stages.
Any other ideas? Has anyone had luck with PPC or FB ads?
Thanks in advance!

oh! and if you do a steller job...they will call you to move out...engaged clients perhaps...
-
maybe, since it's back to school time and the kids are hearding back to school..A "Free Local" move maybe another option instead of an Ipad2 that they may have anyhow...Cause moving stinks...and Free moves rock the heeezy...
-
Hmm...remove the "gate" - interesting idea! The demographic is mainly families, women, more affluent (can afford pro movers), etc.
Thanks on the music! Just getting ready to play a gig tonight!

Thank you! Yes, definitely promoting to their current/past clients via email marketing - good idea!

You are a moving company? How about some olde school outreach...
do you have a mailing list of past clients (or even better if you use a service like mailchimp)..get buzz out about the contest.
piggy back your print ads with info about the ipad2 giveaway.
Dont forget to convert vistors into page "like"s
Good luck

Hi
Lovely idea with the papercraft, if a bit of a longwinded explanation in the video. Id give FB ads a go with a small budget
I am struggling to identify the target market tho, from the ad - so its hard to suggest specific avenues when its quite nebulous to me
I dont like the gated "like" before people get access to the papercraft. I would make that bit as open as possible for added reach and just ask them to like when they upload the video or to see oter peoples videos. To get around the gate, maybe identify some big blog people in the space and send them your papercraft with a personalised request to make one
Would love to see a seomoz post on how well this did for you after its finished.
like your music btw

I've used Facebook ads in the past to promote a contest. They were very effective in driving people to the contest; however, I'm not sure how many people were actually truly engaged with my company at the end of the day. The last big giveaway we did, I chose not to run Facebook ads because it didn't make sense for the type of giveaway I was running in that I couldn't figure out a direct benefit of paying Facebook for people to enter something they could enter for free.

Facebook likes v fans
Hello, When I look at my site in opensiteexplorer it says my site has 79 Facebook "likes". But actually, it has 4,070. In another part of the PRO dashboard it correctly identifies 4,070 but calls them "fans". I thought if someone hit the "like" button they became "fans". So why is SEOmoz reporting the vastly different figures?

Facebook Comment Notifications
I setup Facebook comments on my site using the iframe setup. I thought FB would notify me whenever someone comments on my website, but that is not the case. Now people are commenting and I would have to look through hundreds of pages on my site to reply to their questions. I searched the web on how to do this, but I am lost when looking at the steps. Can anyone help provide clear instructions on how to notify me of my website comments on my FB page or by email?

Do facebook shares pass share juice the same way links pass link juice?
If i have a page on my domain say PAGE-A and let's say it's located at: http://www.mydomain.com/something/page-a and this page has quite a lot of page authority from many many inbound links. It is my understanding that if i "sculpt" the internal links on PAGE-A to point at only my primary targets, let's call the PAGE-B, PAGE-C, and PAGE-D; then those pages would gain some benefit from this link juice flowing through. Consider a similar situation where i have a page, say PAGE-F located at: http://www.mydomain.com/anotherpage/page-F and page-F gets 150 facebook shares. would the links on page-F pass this benefit on in any way? Or is only the direct target of the facebook share gaining benefit from this facebook sharing? Furthermore, lets consider a scenario where there are 30 or 40 similar pages like PAGE-F all with links out to my primary targets. Would these primary targets gain anything as these 30 or 40 pages gained facebook shares? Repeat above question, replace 'facebook' with 'twitter'. repeat again for 'google+' ?

Dud facebook likes / fake profiles.
I've seen a few companies pop up offering 'facebook likes' for sale. I'm assuming these are all dud accounts that are subject to get deleted in a second if facebook catches on. Anyone else have something to add?
