After seeing many posts in my Facebook News Feed of friends 'Liking & Sharing' competitions, (and the subsequent Pages gaining hundreds, if not thousands of new Likes and a stream of orders off the back of it) I decided it might be a good idea to run our own Beautiful Nice giveaway to launch our newest product - the Framed Keepsake.
However, after studying the Page Guidelines and discovering that this type of competition is not allowed by Facebook and that the pages partaking in these 'Like & Share' type giveaways run the risk of having their page shut down with no notice, I decided to use a nifty little App called Rafflecopter.
Rafflecopter is fully compliant with Facebook's Promotion Guidelines and it's basic version is free. Happy days!
With a bit of research I even managed my first piece of HTML coding to make my giveaway a little more presentable (I know, I couldn't believe if either).
The App is so easy to use and really takes the pain out of running competitions on Facebook.
Anyway, I'm pleased to announce that our giveaway was a success! We didn't gain hundreds of new Likes but I like to think that it's the quality of your Likers and not the quantity that matters.
Our competition winner was Sara Brake and I delivered her prize last night, here's a little pic.....

Apparently it is already up in Zac's bedroom! We will look at running another giveaway soon, maybe to mark reaching 1000 Likes.......but what to give away next??
