According to Odds On Promotions Internet Business Development Manager Damien Anderson, “One of our clients, a Pennsylvania-based advertising company, is teaming up with a local hardware store to give a randomly selected Facebook user a $50 gift card to their store just for ‘liking’ their page.  This local business experienced well over a 50% increase in fans in just the first seven days of the promotion, with sustained grow and “conversations” over the 30 days of the contest.”

Update 4/2: Home construction company client whose promotion kicked off on March 30, 2012 also experiencing a huge increase in fans… 74 fans only three days into their month-long promotion!
