Easter is just around the corner and our small business marketing company in Brisbane share some ideas for encouraging Easter sales with a social media contest.

With consumers in Australia spending millions of dollars throughout the Easter period, it’s a great time as a small business owner to encourage engagement, likes and sales through social media, particularly Facebook. One of the best ways to do this is with a social media contest!

A couple a Facebook contests you could run include:

• Getting your customers to ‘like’ your page for an entry to a random contest. You can even offer additional entries to customers who refer anyone to the page and likes it.
• Get customers to submit photos to win a prize. Make it more interactive by having your likers to vote for entries
• Get fans to name your new brand or product. In return, you increase engagement by asking them to participate and a truckload of fantastic ideas
• Ask fans to write short excerpts about a topic and pick a winner
• Video and other Facebook contests are also applicable depending on which makes the most for your business
• Your prize should be attractive and of real value. Make the prize worthwhile to encourage greatest number of responses.
