How to Use a Facebook Contest to Promote Your Business


FACEBOOK has emerged as one of the most influential social networks in the world.  It has also become a platform for companies to increase their reach and promote their business. However, one of the most highly interactive ways to do so on Facebook is also one of the most under-used: a contest.


Contests provide a great opportunity for businesses to generate a buzz, and increase brand recognition. Here, we will outline the process of hosting a contest on Facebook to promote your business.

Step 1. Preparation

Using a contest requires preparation, but first and foremost, you should review Facebook guidelines for organizing a promotion. Knowing the rules and guidelines set forth by Facebook will allow your contest to be completely legitimate. This is vital to your success so we recommend you read the guidelines in their entirety. To summarize, any promotion on Facebook (such as a contest or sweepstake) must contain:
  • Official rules
  • Terms and eligibility requirements
  • A complete release of Facebook by each entrant or participant
Once you are familiar with Facebook’s rules, spend some time researching other contests that have been successful. Explore feedback, review what participants have said about previous contests and take note of which contest posts had the highest engagement.  This will help you establish some best practices for organizing a Facebook contest, and be informed about current contest trends.
Expert tip: Optimize research by seeking out competitors in your niche. Targeting preparation by investigating your competition will help maximize results.
Finally, establish a method for hosting the contest. While a Facebook page may be used for this purpose, you may find a hosting app to be more suitable. Hosting apps often feature contest management tools, quantifiable insight and reporting components, branding capabilities and more. Fandom Marketing recently published a top 10 list of the Best Social Media Contest Apps, which is a great reference to get you started.
Expert Tip: Contests may be administered on Fan Pages, Business Pages or within apps on Facebook. Personal Profiles may not be used for sponsored promotions.

Step 2. Planning

Once you have finished preliminary research and preparation, move onto planning your specific contest. Every social media marketing strategy needs a solid plan, but not every marketer knows where to start. If this is your first Facebook contest, here are some important things to keep in mind:
  • Budget – Will your contest require hosting, traffic/advertising? How much will be spent on prizes?
  • Promotion – How will participants learn about your contest? Ads, Emails, Social Media Posts, Etc.
  • Contest Length – What are the start & end dates? What is the length of time allowed for entries? When are winners announced?
  • Entry method – How do participants join? What information is required to do so?
  • Participants – Who can participate? Amount of entries allowed (total, and per person)?
  • Prizes – What are they? What value do they bring?
  • Winners – Number of winners? How they are determined?
  • Legal Documents – Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, Etc.
  • Goals – What quantifiable results do you want to achieve? What is your baseline for success?
  • Tools – Does your hosting app cover the basics? Do you need other solutions to track statistics and measure goal achievement?
Each of these components will be important when it comes time to take action. Be sure you set yourself up for success and plan accordingly.
Expert tip: Planning sets the stage for your entire promotion, and can make or break your contest. Don’t skimp on time or effort with this step!

Step 3. Take Action

With a defined plan, you are ready to take action. Begin by implementing the contest strategies outlined during the planning phase.
Compile your prizes, sign up for your hosting app, and create the content needed for your contest. For example, if your advertising plan centered around using your email list to reach previous customers, design an effective series of messages that will help you reach these subscribers and urge them to participate.
Then, up your engagement! Since Facebook is a social network oriented towards user interaction and social relationships, connect with participants.
The end goal here is to promote your business, right?  So, take this time to really interact with Facebook users who are interested in your contest. Use the research compiled during your preparation phase and post some targeted and highly engaging updates.
Expert tip: Engagement matters! Ask questions. Answer questions. Like. Share. Post pictures and spread the word about your contest. 

Step 4. Monitor

Planning and hosting a Facebook contest is great for promotion but don’t stop there! We also recommend that you closely monitor performance metrics.
By carefully monitoring your contest, you have the opportunity to notice if an ad doesn’t convert, if a link is broken, if a follower posted an inappropriate comment or anything else that could be having a negative effect on your promotion.
Observing statistics during your contest allows you to recognize issues and, more importantly, adjust accordingly. For example, if paid advertising for the contest is not resulting in conversions – quickly pause your campaign, revamp your ad to increase the click-through-rate and encourage more Facebook users to join your contest.
Crisis (and wasted funds) averted.

Step 5: Analyze

You set out to host a contest, so once the contest is over and prizes have been awarded, you’re done, right?
Well, kudos on the follow through, but since the real goal was to promote your business your work is still not quite finished: The final stage of organizing a Facebook contest involves analyzing the results.
Analysis is important because it helps you determine:
  • If you met your planned goals
  • What worked and what did not
  • If this type of promotion is worth repeating
The best way to analyze your results? Compare the before and after.
Use trackable links and other marketing tools to compile data and make comparisons based on standard metrics. If you chose an application for hosting, this is a great opportunity to review the data, and analyze the efficiency of your Facebook contest. The more information you gather before, during and after the contest, the better.  When it comes to analysis, you want to have a well rounded set of data to reference and draw conclusions from. This information will help you set standards for future marketing efforts.

Wrapping It Up

Facebook contests can be a viable marketing strategy to generate results for your business. A successful contest goes beyond just having participants and giving away prizes; requiring preparation, planning, action, monitoring and analysis. These steps offer a guide to building a contest that will promote your business to a larger audience and with real, tangible results.
Over to you! Take a minute to post comments or share any ideas you have about Facebook contests. Have you used them before? What worked, and what didn’t?
We’d love to hear from you!

A Step-By-Step Guide To Gaining Quality Leads From Social Media


Attaining popularity on social media platforms is an absolute must for businesses these days.
More and more marketers have started seeing social media as an indispensable tool for marketing, as well as lead generation.
How do we know that? Well, the Google trends graph tell us for one.
Social media is essential for brand building and connecting with your target audience. So, if you are just using it for likes, shares and comments, then you are late to the party.
By now, your competitors probably already have a social media marketing strategy.
As Jacquelyn Smith explains in Forbes, “You can really get to know the customers needs through social listening. It’s a great way to research a market and initiate a conversation leading to a sale.”
According to Business 2 community, the share of marketing budgets spent on social media is expected to be more than double over the next five years, from 11% today to 24% by 2020.
Therefore, it’s high time you make proper use of its potential.
In this article, we’ll discuss ways in which you can use channels such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram to gain quality leads from social media for your business.

First, let’s talk about what lead generation means in today’s world

The definition of lead generation, according to Google, is “the action or process of identifying and cultivating potential customers for a business’s products or services.”
Therefore it is not simply about selling your product but also gathering information about your customers including their interests, their pain points, their likes or dislikes, and what will make them spend on your product.
Before the internet, marketers used to send direct mail-outs or give away forms in newspapers or magazines to collect information from potential buyers.
Today, social media has made it much easier for marketers to reach their target audience. With almost all of their information already online, all marketers need to focus on is how to maintain the attention of the target audience and convert them into leads.
Enter FacebookTwitterLinkedIn, and Instagram. All four allow you to reach quality leads through video marketing, email opt-ins, or paid ad campaigns.
Here is a step-by-step guide to help you maximize your use of social media marketing.

Facebook

With over 86 billion monthly active usersFacebook is one of the best platforms for marketing as well as sales. Businesses can share links, videos, images and posts on their Facebook pages to reflect their personality and style as well as reach new customers.
Have a look at these example Facebook ads.
Simple, but effective. Plus, there is a lot more you can do to capture the attention of people on Facebook.
For instance, people love contests. They’re fun! They demand engagement!
You have probably come across companies giving away prizes such as a new iPad or a $500 gift voucher. Perhaps you don’t need to be told that the company easily earns the money back through clicks, likes and conversions.
But here’s another angle to consider: people willingly provide their personal details to participate in such contests, which means you have an opportunity to obtain whatever information you are seeking from your target audience and improve your business.
Better yet, contests are a great way of increasing your email database.
Another great way to add value to your Facebook page is to create customised Facebook tabs. The ‘tabs’ feature allows companies to promote something distinctive and unique.
Take, for example, Coca-Cola’s House Rules tab on its Facebook page. Here, the company asks its fans to commend, post or share whatever they feel about the brand.
Also, don’t forget to keep your company’s logo as a big part of your profile or header image so that Facebook users know and remember it.
Always treat your Facebook page like a website and continually add new content. Create a schedule and make sure there is a good mix of photos, videos and compelling posts to generate more traffic.

Twitter

A while back, nobody knew how to track leads through Twitter. However, today most marketers use Twitter for widening their reach and turning their followers into customers.
According to this article in Business 2 community, around 79% of users recommend brands that they follow. A further 85% of users feel more connected to businesses after following them. Tweak your tweets a little and see what effect it has on your profits!
There are a few more quick ways to gain leads on Twitter, including Twitter Cards.
Twitter Cards are a lead generation tool which help in capturing attention as well engaging your audience. They work directly within your promoted tweet to collect users’ contact information in exchange for your offer, and increase your odds of conversion.
Furthermore, they are concise, don’t require much work and are definitely worthwhile. You can post many different types of cards including summary cards, photo cards, gallery cards and more.
Here is an example of an amazing gallery card on Twitter.

Also, never miss out on your brand mentions. An article in eMarketer reveals that 83% of consumers say online reviews influence their perceptions about companies, and 80% report that negative online comments affect their purchasing decisions.
Therefore, it is crucial that you monitor what people are saying about your business online.
You should respond immediately, or as soon as possible, if someone has mentioned the name of your brand on Twitter.
See how one of the most influential brands on Twitter – JetBlue – respond to some tweets by their customers.
You can also host virtual events or start a campaign on Twitter to further engage your followers and generate leads. It could be anything from having a live discussion on a particular day, to answering questions in a company Q and A.
The trick is not to initiate a conversation directly about your company, but rather the industry that surrounds it.

LinkedIn

LinkedIn has almost limitless power when it comes to generating leads. In my view, LinkedIn is the social media platform to rule them all and the main one that you should focus your energy on.
LinkedIn has more than 400 million members worldwide. You can expand your network by signing up to LinkedIn Premium, which offers a one-month free trial.
Premium gives brands, individuals and companies on LinkedIn a unique opportunity to expand their reach by providing the user with facilities such as sending 15 InMail messages a day to potential leads/clients, seeing who’s viewed your profile in the past 90 days, and finding connections faster with the option of Advanced Search.
Choose a Premium account if you haven’t already to increase your presence on this powerful social media platform, then familiarise yourself with LinkedIn Publishing.
LinkedIn’s publishing platform is a great tool for marketers to share their thoughts as industry experts.
They can also use this platform to post important information or insights that might help job seekers.
Over time, publishing timely and relevant content is a surefire way to generate more leads.
According to Hootsuite’s blog, countless professionals are now using LinkedIn as a blogging tool, and gaining an opportunity to engage a new audience for their business. See an example of how you can post on it below.

Instagram

The last of the social media titans, but not the least!
Instagram is relatively new, yet one of the fastest growing social media channels in today’s digital landscape. In its short life span of just six years, it has amassed over 500 million users.
Can you afford not to reach them? Nope, of course not!
Until recently, people primarily used Instagram for sharing photos, getting likes, and adding followers. However, in 2015, things got a shake-up after Instagram introduced paid advertising.
Using this advertising platform, businesses can now generate leads by holding quizzes, training or just sharing a photo of their brand. Plus, it’s super easy to connect your Instagram account up with your Facebook and Twitter accounts to cross-promote content.
Certain companies such as Mercedes Benz are brilliant at integrating their Instagram content on Facebook. Take a look at this example.
Once again, it’s simple but effective marketing. On that note, always remember to respond to comments on your Instagram posts!
While it’s cool to get thousands of likes and shares on a photo, it’s equally important to keep a tab on the comments people leave for you.
You don’t have to have long conversations… but if someone comments on your post or tags your brand, respond to them. This will help you expand your community and build relationships.
See a great example of how to keep communications short but sweet below.
One of the other major benefits to using Instagram is its video sharing feature. This provides a unique opportunity for marketers to share brief video clips about their products or services.
Videos are an engaging, interesting and informative way of communicating with your target audience as well as a neat way to showcase the benefits of your offering in under two minutes.
Lastly, be sure to use relevant #hashtags with everything you post.
Hashtags are the hallmark of Instagram. Finding leads isn’t easy in such a large community so adding popular or distinctive hashtags to your photos will help you find leads in a more organized way.
For instance, if you’re offering matrimonial services, you could post photos along with hashtags like #matchmaking or #findtheone to reach a larger audience seeking help in this regard.
You could also create a brand-specific hashtag for a contest or promotion. For instance, Dry Soda used the hashtag #fridayDRYday to distinguish their post.
Also, see the general use of a hashtag below by a coffee shop owner.

Wrapping up

The list of how to connect with your potential leads on social media platforms is endless. These are just a few pointers on how you can use social media to generate leads, and most of them can even be used across each platform!
Social media is integral to raising awareness of your brand and generating more leads for you. It is woven into almost every nook and cranny of our personal and business lives so use it to amplify your content creations as people discover and share them.

The 7 Essential Elements of Effective Social Media Marketing



By now you know it’s a bad idea to be a digital sharecropper and build your business entirely on someone else’s land (like Facebook, Tumblr, or any other third party you don’t control).

But you may be asking yourself, “What type of social media marketing should I be doing?”

How are savvy businesses using social media effectively to find more customers, boost their reputations, and make more sales?

Here are the seven essentials that will turn your social media marketing from an annoying time-waster to an effective bottom-line booster.

1. Get your home base together

Your home base is your website. It’s on a domain you own. You control the user experience — from the content to the site design to the user interface.

This is where you show that you know your stuff. That means building a nice cornerstone of high-quality content that demonstrates your expertise in a likeable, accessible way.

First impressions matter, so make sure the design is clean, professional, and smart. It can still be stylish or funky if that’s your thing, but it shouldn’t look amateurish or confusing.

Your home base is where you post content to answer your readers’ questions, give them interesting tips, and help solve their annoying problems.

When someone wants to know more about you, this is where you send them.

Your home base is a content marketing tool, which means you need to be communicating primarily with customers, not with other experts in your topic.

Don’t just pontificate to show what you know — tie your news and opinions back to how those things affect your customers.

2. Who’s the face of your business?

If you want to use social networking platforms like Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn, you need a human face to make your social media marketing work.

So, does that mean potential customers want to know about your personal struggles finding high-quality organic dog food? No. (Unless your company sells organic dog food, that is.)

Just like people have always done in public settings (work, church, volunteer activities), you’re going to adopt a persona — a selected range of your thoughts, emotions, and observations.

You don’t want to share absolutely everything about the “real” you with your social media connections.

You’re going to be social and informal, but in a way that’s relevant, appropriate, and interesting to who you’re talking with.

That doesn’t mean I want you to be a fraud. I want you to be friendly and genuine. Sound like a human being, not a corporate robot.

And you certainly don’t have to stick to business all the time. It’s fine and good to show that you have a life. It’s not so good to show the world you’re careless, rude, or boring.

The truth is, the definition of “appropriate” depends on your audience.

If it works for your customers, it’s appropriate.

Authenticity for a business doesn’t come from oversharing or boring your audience to death — it lies in doing what you say you’ll do.

3. Who else has your customers?

Social networking platforms were designed to make it easy and fun for people to hang out together. That means you’re going to use them to build relationships that will help your business.

Look for people who have healthy-sized audiences who are a good fit for your product or service.

They may be bloggers, they may be authors, they may have a popular podcast or column in mainstream media. They may simply be social media mavens who have lots of friends and like to share good stuff.

These are the people you want to share and promote your excellent content.

Cultivating professional relationships isn’t rocket science. Stick to the basics — link to them from your content, comment intelligently on their blogs and social platforms, and be a nice person.

Don’t think that picking fights or manufacturing controversy makes you stand out. It doesn’t; it just makes you look like a troll.

If you’re going to take a controversial position, make sure it’s one that really matters, and express it with respect.

4. Pick a primary platform

Again, think about where your customers are.

If you love Twitter but your customers spend hours every day on Facebook, you need to recognize that Facebook is probably a better venue for your business. It may not be as fun for you — but that’s why they call it work.

Only move beyond your primary platform when you’re sure you’re handling it well. A lot depends on the industry you’re in.

If you’re a copywriter, social media consultant, or professional content marketer, your customers spend a lot of time in these venues, which means you probably will too.

5. Manage your time

If you don’t decide how much time and focus you’ll put into social media, the default will be “all of it.”

Sites like Twitter and Facebook are seductive places to drop in and just check what’s new.

But when your five-minute check turns into twenty-five minutes, and you’re doing that four or five times a day per site, you’re going to find your productivity taking a dive.

Remember your home base. That (and actually delivering whatever it is you do) are where the bulk of your time and energy need to go.

The best tool I’ve found for managing social media time is a $3 kitchen timer. Decide in advance how much time you’ll spend checking in and being social, set your timer, and stick to it.

6. Content first, conversation second


You’ve been told again and again by social media “experts” that your entire business should revolve around something called “The Conversation.”

Too often, this form of Conversation leads to business owners spending hours every day chattering with potential customers and hoping someone will buy something. (Or, more often, chattering with peers and friends and hoping this counts as work.)

Yes, be personable. Yes, keep an ear out for customer complaints so you can respond appropriately. And yes, network with peers in your industry to keep your links healthy.

But if it feels like goofing around all day instead of working, it probably is.

Instead, spend the bulk of your time creating content, whether it’s on your own home base or for a guest post so you can find a wider audience.

Use content to educate your customers about what they need to know to make an intelligent purchase. Focus on customer objections, questions, and problems.

When you find someone else’s content that your customers will find valuable, share that too — and add a few insights of your own, if you like.

Even a 100-character tweet can have content value. Think about what you can say that makes readers’ lives better, rather than just filling up time before you run to Starbucks.

Make sure your reader has a good experience every time she hears from you. Keep it both useful and entertaining.

Social media conversation is a seasoning that makes your content more appetizing. It’s not the main dish.

7. Don’t forget SEO

Too many people think that social media sharing means they don’t need SEO anymore. The fact is, social media marketing is a superb complement to SEO.

Play the long game.

The same elements that make social media work (sharing content that’s both useful and user-friendly, doing what you say you’ll do, building healthy relationships with others in your industry) are the elements search engines prefer to serve up.

Search engines want to find the content that’s a widely valued resource.
Skip the time-wasting ego game

For too many businesses, social media is a time-wasting ego game.

But use the tools strategically — with a focus on content and getting a useful message in front of a wider audience — and they can be brilliantly effective.

How about you? What do you consider the most essential element of social media marketing?

6 rules for using hashtags effectively


A hashtag can help social media marketers encourage and guide conversations related to your brand. When they succeed, hashtags provide a great means for you to create a community around a topic, to help people contribute to a bigger conversation related to your brand, to connect with your fans—and to have something measurable to present to the boss.
Unfortunately, hashtags often fail to give you a great ROI (or maybe ROH – return on hype – would be a better phrase). Sure, you might spend hours coming up with dozens of hashtag possibilities before landing on that perfect combo of brevity and clarity, but how can you make sure your new, beautiful branding device lives up to its potential?
If you’ve ever found yourself saying WTH?! when it comes to hashtag marketing, here are a few things you can do to get the most out of your brand’s latest hashtag.

Make the hashtag visible.


It sounds obvious, but making sure you put your hashtag to use at the brand level is the first step to promoting its use to your target audience—and this is often the first misstep.
Consistency is key: you have to put your hashtag everywhere to make sure people remember it.
Use your hashtag frequently and on multiple channels. Twitter and Instagram are the most popular social networks for tagging, but hashtags can also be effective on Facebook and even LinkedIn ("sort of"). Be sure to promote your hashtag outside of social, too. Think about your website, in-store signage (print and digital), packaging, uniforms, stickers, flyers, menus, and the like. Figure out where your customers are when they would ideally use the hashtag, and find a way to put it in front of them in that moment.

Reward fans who use it.


It's not just about pushing out a hashtag and sitting back and hoping for the best. You have to work it. You need to promote your hashtag every day, and one of the best ways to do that is by finding, recognizing and rewarding users who have joined the conversation.
When people use your hashtag, do a happy dance (if there's time) and engage with the post:
  • Like it.
  • Comment on it.
  • Share it.
  • Send them a message to say thanks for the shout-out.
A little bit of recognition goes a long way.
You can also offer a reward to those who use the hashtag. Just don't expect someone to use up their own social media in exchange for something small like a coupon. Put something exciting on the line, like special access or an exclusive experience. One example: Oreo’s Super Bowl ads asked viewers to join the #OreoDunkSweepstakes for a chance to meet Shaquille O'Neal or Christina Aguilera.
If you're really good, you can scout for the best hashtag uses and then reward after the fact—these are called post-action rewards (PARs). When you surprise people with a reward, it not only reinforces the behavior (in this case, participating in the hashtag conversation), it also encourages significantly more word-of-mouth marketing. People love to share unexpected, happy events in their lives. Think about all the wedding proposals, celebrity sightings, random acts of kindness, and other surprisingly delightful events your friends frequently share online. Now consider how your brand could instigate that random, exciting event for your fans.
This Sports Illustrated article has some great examples of social media being used to reward NHL fans. The most pertinent example is the #YoTographer Instagram campaign used by The Arizona Coyotes. Here’s the money quote from Marissa O'Connor, the social media manager for the team: “We ask fans to upload their best shot of the night before the end of the second period, then we go through all posts with #YoTographer and select our favorite one. That person gets their photo re-grammed on our account and gets to watch the third period on the glass with the professional photographers. It makes them a true ‘Yotographer.’”
Now that’s a great way to use a hashtag to encourage authentic brand conversations!

Employ a live hashtag feed.


A live feed is a one-two punch for recognizing people and promoting your hashtag’s use. Live feeds (also sometimes called "social walls") allow you to display everyone's hashtagged content in real-time, whether that's on your website or in your lobby. This is a great way to combine your brand posts with user-generated content (UGC) in a fun, engaging display that will encourage even more participation.
There are tons of digital vendors you can partner with to provide a professional live feed for your business or event. Services vary based on price and features, such as the ability to curate posts (versus feeds that show any and all posts that use your tag, which is, in many cases, a huge risk).
Some popular live hashtag feed services include:
  • UGC content aggregator for live displays, websites, and more
  • Free Twitter hashtag monitoring and website embedding
  • Paid platform for social media walls at events
  • Paid "earned-content platform" for curating user-generated content
  • High-end digital display system that includes a social media wall feature
  • Ohio-based social media displays service
These feeds can be used in tons of cool ways. I’ve seen them deployed successfully on websites, in corporate lobbies, inside bars, on a billboard outside the bar, on the jumbotron at Reds and Bengals games, and on screens in between speakers at industry events. Don’t forget about your email list, too. (Tip: There’s a local Cincinnati startup that allows you to quickly pull social content into your e-blasts.)

Leverage influencers.


Come out of the gate strong by leveraging a group of people who can push the hashtag out early and often.
Visibility will be the key to launching strong and sustaining your success, and there’s no better way to get high-quality eyes on your hashtag than by tapping local influencers and micro-influencers to spread the word to their friends and fans. Search out the people in your target community who are very active on hashtag-friendly platforms like Twitter and Instagram, and think of ways you can include them in your campaign. This might include paying professional bloggers to write a post, or you could employ a strategy where you invite users to special events or offer up VIP treatment in exchange for social media participation. You can also check out my 2017 social media strategy post for more information about micro-influencer marketing.
In the same vein, don't forget that your own employees can and should be your biggest advocates. Make sure your internal stakeholders (everyone from the CEO to the sales team to the receptionist) understand the goals behind your new hashtag. Encourage them to engage with it using their personal accounts, and make sure to explain what’s appropriate. Even better, invite your team to help you in the planning process early on, so your coworkers will take part in ensuring the hashtag’s success.

Promote a hashtag people will want to use.


There are plenty of articles out there that provide great tips for creating a tag for your brand, usually with pointers like "keep it short" and "keep it simple." But there is one thing I’d like to add: It is immensely helpful if your hashtag does NOT include your company name. Unless you’re trying to get people to #ShareACoke, or your brand is a TV Show like the #AmazingRace, chances are good that most people won’t want to tag your business name in their post.

Learn from the best.


For some extra hashtag inspiration, here are a few of my favorite non-branded brand hashtags:

  • #TweetFromTheSeat (Charmin)
  • #LikeAGirl (Always)
  • #PutACanOnIt (Red Bull)
  • #CollegeIn5Words (Denny’s) Note: Denny’s didn’t create this one, but creatively took advantage of the trend.
  • #ThrowMeBack (Expedia)
  • #NoFunLeague (GNC)
  • #RuleYourself / #IWILL (UnderArmour)
