Wrapping it Up

Hopefully this article has given you a bit of inspiration that you can take to the Facebook bank.

Here are a few Facebook promotion best practices before you go…

Focus on the image – show your prize (or what it can buy)
Put your prize value front and center in your large headline, both within the image and in the headline itself
Only ask visitors for a name and email address (unless you need a phone number, like if you’re in real estate)
Write out your terms and conditions and embed them on a page of your website. Link to them in the promotion, rather than having them on the same page
