Facebook Competitions

Facebook competitions are usually free to participate in, are fun and very engaging. They may take different forms depending on the advertiser. For instance, a T-shirt store merchant can set up a Facebook T-shirt store application and anyone who installs and uses the application stands to win. You may have to play by building a virtual T-shirt store and buying and selling virtual T-shirts to other participants in accordance to the rules of the competition. Other competitions work by the number of referrals you make i.e., the higher the number of people you refer to the advertiser, the higher your chances of winning. For example, you may earn points or additional entries into a draw for each person you refer to an advertiser’s Facebook page and even more points or entries when they do certain actions, e.g. submit their emails.

Apart from referrals, you may be required to complete a survey on Facebook or play a game in order to win. You may earn credits as you play and when they reach a certain amount, you can redeem the credits for free gifts, vouchers, cash or tokens at select stores.

The best thing about Facebook competitions is that they can be targeted to the interests of the users as well as demographics. For instance, a game may be advertised to be shown only to members of a specific gender or age group. Moreover, playing the competition is fun, they can be shared on a user’s profile and you can even invite your friends to compete with you.
