Over 60% of all Facebook visits in Singapore are from a mobile device. Your contest has to

of a person works well as a Facebook ad.
Tip 2: People click on human faces with text: What makes an ad
with a human face even more effective is adding some text to
the image.

see an image with a video play button on it, they want to click
on it.

promotion aren’t appealing to users.

Probably the most common mistake is using the Facebook feature as part of the contest elements. Quite often will I find contest such as:Click like to winShare this photo and winComment to winAlthough contests such as these are easy to organize, the rules say:“You must not condition registration or entry upon the user liking a Wall post, or commenting or uploading a photo on a Wall.”Going against this basically means that Facebook has the power to make your contest invalid or even to the extent of blocking your account – although it is entirely up to Facebook’s discretion.
