Facebook Timeline Contest

All you need to do is customise the actions, share the contest post on your Facebook page, and start generating powerful user interactions.

This strategy is perfect for brands aiming to raise brand awareness, connect with a broader audience, and encourage followers to interact with their timeline content. You can even cross-promote other social media channels and grow multiple platforms at once.

By encouraging people to interact with your contest post and refer friends, you will naturally increase exposure and drive traffic to your giveaway landing page or product page.
