Like and share competitions...

As I am big on marketing through social media, the management team and I have spoke to sales reps for different companies to help us with prizes for "Like and Share" competitions on our Facebook Group.

We have done 2 of these so far, with a good turnout of people entering the competition. These were:

Heygates Equi- Balancer

Animalife Vetrofen Sachets

BUT nobody could have guessed the outcome of our next competition. A FREE pair of Mountain Horse Sovereign Competition Boots. We added the post online on Sunday 25th June and would run the competition until Sunday 9th July.

Within the first 10 minutes, we had 70+ shares and likes on the post. Throughout the day this increased astronomically... at the beginning of the day our Facebook page had around 7100 likes... In just 24 hours this increased to 9000 page likes. The post had received 5,569 shares and the post itself had reached over HALF A MILLION PEOPLE! Our website had a huge increase in views too, from a handful per day to nearly 200 per day!

As I am writing this post the page is only 12 away from 10,000 likes and the post itself has 6450 shares, and has reached 662,736 people!!

It is amazing to watch the shares and page likes increase every minute... makes me realise I am doing something right!!
