Facebook Promotions For Your Hotel


Many hotels are struggling with making their Facebook presence more effective.   Running a contest or promotion on your hotel’s Facebook Page is a great idea for hotel marketers who are looking to improve the effectiveness of their Facebook marketing results.
Contests can help you:
  1. Garner a larger fan base.
  2. Improve the interaction you have with you current fans.
  3. Give you a golden opportunity to collect emails and mailing addresses of your fans.
The problem that  a contest may pose is that it can attract unqualified Likes… people entering your contest just to win  may not have any intention of becoming a customer.
In order to mitigate this problem (if you think it is a problem), consider the following:
  1. How you promote your contest. Are you promoting it to the general public or are you promoting it to past guests, current fans, and potential guests?
  2. What you give away. An iPad as a prize can bring out the monkeys and pornstars.  A free nights lodging or weekend spa treatment at your property will only attract people with an intention of actually staying with you.
