Are you a small business or non-profit organization looking to increase fans and engagement on your Facebook page? Look no further — Odds On Promotions has some great Facebook contest ideas to help you achieve the results you’re looking for.
A common misconception is that only big brand pages and corporations benefit from Facebook’s contesting features. By tweaking your marketing strategies, we can show you that that’s not at all the case! And the best part is that you don’t have to give away a prize worth thousands in order to succeed! Discounts, merchandise, gift cards… the prize can be anything you want, and worth any amount! Take a look at the Facebook contest ideas below:
1. Photo Contests
Photo contests are engaging and fun for all! Invite your Facebook fans to submit photos to your wall. If you’re a local restaurant or food chain, have your fans snap a picture of themselves eating at one of your locations! Retailers and auto dealerships can also utilize this type of contest by having their fans submit pictures of themselves featuring their recent purchase(s). Holding a promotion or special event? Have them submit their best photo of themselves at the venue! When your fan base votes on the submitted photos, you’re not only increasing exposure on your end, but also increasing traffic which can continue even well after the contest ends.
2. Guessing Game Contests
This type of contest leaves you with a wide variety of options. Have your Facebook fans participate in a word jumble, guess a question related to your company/organization (e.g. What year did Odds On Promotions go into business?), post a picture and have your fans guess where and/or when it was taken… or even post a picture of a jar of M&Ms and have them guess how many are in there (the person who guesses closest to the actual number will win). The choice is strictly up to you how you choose to administer a guessing game contest and which type to go with… the possibilities are endless!
3. Tie Your Contest Into a Current Event
Is your company/organization holding any type of online/internet promotion? This is a perfect way to incorporate it with a Facebook contest! For example, if you’re holding an online Easter-themed scavenger hunt promotion where visitors have to find a hidden Easter Egg which is located someplace on your website, the first fan who finds and clicks on it will be your contest winner! Keep in mind: this can easily work with other types of events as well, not just online promotions.
