Facebook Promotions

The other type of promotion which has been extremely effective is contents and giveaways on Facebook Pages. These sorts of contests help drive engagement and also help pages acquire new fans quickly. While Facebook has restrictions on how promotions can take place from within Facebook Pages, there are numerous companies who are currently providing services to enable promotions and giveaways. Check out Wildfire and Involver for more details.
Keep in mind that all promotional activities must follow Facebook’s promotional guidelines (found here).



Facebook Social Plugins



Facebook has a number of social plugins to help out those companies which have a company website or blog. By using the like button, the fan box, and other social plugins, companies can dramatically increase engagement on their site and traffic. While there are numerous social plugins (found here), the three most important are the like button, fan box, and recent activity plugin.
