Facebook Contest Begins!

For the next contest we have decided to give away a GPS Navigation System-- the Garmin Nuvi 1350T with Lifetime Traffic included. This is definitely a larger prize than the Twitter one. First, I set up an account with Wildfire Interactive, Inc. Second, I posted all the necessary photos, content, etc. on their easy set-up page. For 100 dollars, our campaign would be promoted on their page (good for the first half of the contest, since it does slowly move down as new campaigns approach), 30 days of contest hosting, and multiple number of faucets provided -- a widget to put on our website (an orange bar promoting the contest), a Facebook page (to drive Facebook users to our fanpage), separate Twitter page (promotes people to write on their own Twitter feed that they have entered the contest), and a microsite (that we can use on our many owned urls). Looking back now, the deal was a great offer.

Also, we can easily see who came from where-- a multitude from our Twitter site and from our microsite. The contest has only been going on for 8 days now, and already 90 entrants. What a great success!

This contest was set-up differently from the last with entrants asked to answer three multiple choice answers about online financing. This offers great research to generate future content. I cannot wait to see what people say as the number one reason why they would use online financing, and the number one reason they would not use online financing (if applicable).

If someone asked me if I would recommend the Wildfire Interactive service, I would have to confidently say yes. The process was easy, and the results are there. Now all I have to do is keep it going by tweeting, posting more articles, etc.

I'll keep you updated.
