There are many ways to drive a Facebook contest and we’ve chosen 3 of our favourites to share with you in this article.

But First:
- Keep your Facebook Contest end goal in mind and consider who you want to attract to your specific promotion.
- Brand the promotion using the cover image as well as the timeline photo to accompany the post.
- We would also recommend using your website [blog] to support the initiative, including email marketing, other suitable platforms and don’t forget to add in some Facebook advertising.

The more HOLISTIC a promotion is, the better the RESULTS.
Now, here’s 3 clever ways to drive your Facebook contest in an effort to get maximum likes, comments and engagement, without using a like-gate:
- Ask users to enter by commenting and/or uploading a picture – it could be a picture of them using your product or any theme that fits the promotion. The best picture/comment combo wins.
- You can ask a question (or, fill-in-the-blank) to which the first correct response wins a prize (this could be a question regarding your product)
- Ask for comments about a product someone has used and the best comment wins (this makes for some great testimonials too!)
