FACEBOOK STRATEGIES
13. 4. AND THE WINNER IS… YOUR BUSINESS
There is a difference between a sweepstakes and a contest and that
difference is significant in Facebook terms.
In a sweepstakes, people drop their entry in a box, real or virtual,
and wait to see whose lucky ticket is drawn. But a contest, a contest
requires entrants to get creative.
It requires they get engaged and that engagement drives relevance
which is something Facebook and Facebook relationships thrive on.
FACEBOOK STRATEGIES
14. Oreo created the Oreo Jingle Contest. The contest asked people to weigh in as to
whether or not their new product, Oreo Cakesters, should be dunked in milk the
same as their iconic cookies and challenged the Facebook community to vote on two
versions of an Oreo jingle while offering them the option to post their own video
renditions of the song. The contest hit all the right Facebook buttons. It required
people to get involved by casting a vote, it offered them the opportunity to
participate
by submitting their own videos, it made Oreo Facebook fans feel as though their
opinions mattered and it kept the Facebook community focused on Oreos.
CASE STUDY
15. You may think that you’re doing everything just right to build an engaged
Facebook audience, but just to be sure you should check with Facebook’s
analytic package called Insights.
To see the Insights for your page click the ‘Edit Page’ button on the upper
right of the page (assuming that you are logged in as one of the page admins,
of course).
Then select ‘Insights’ from the left hand navigation. This should take you to
the Overview page with two sections.
Right underneath that is the overview for Interactions, which are counts of
people who have Liked or Commented on your posts.
ROI OF FACEBOOK PAGE
16. You’ll see graphs showing Users, which represent the counts of people who
have viewed or interacted with your page (even if they haven’t Liked it).
ROI OF FACEBOOK PAGE (INSIGHT)
17. Clicking on ‘See Details’ for Interactions will take you to a page showing how many times each of your page
posts has been viewed. It will also show you the feedback for each day – how many people Liked, Commented
or Unsubscribed
Right underneath that is one of the gems of Insights, a listing of every one of your posts with counts for
Impressions and Feedback.
ROI OF FACEBOOK PAGE
18. The User details include the ‘Like Sources’ so that you can get a
feel for where your audience is coming from.
