Facebook is the ultimate platform for engagement, with more than 1 billion people on the platform, it’s not a contest.
A lot of businesses we have spoken to have mentioned their lack of success on Facebook and we have asked them what they have done. The answer is almost always the same.
“We put out a graphic asking people to click on the link and purchase our product”. Every business has attempted something along these lines.
This doesn’t work. People aren’t robots who just buy when you share them a link. (Except Apple)
In today’s article, we cover a different strategy for Facebook engagement that has been used successfully by many businesses in Singapore.

Breakdown of a Good Giveaway Campaign
- You need to give away something of value: It’s not about price, but it’s about value. $20 might not seem like much, but $20 off a meal is a big thing. You can get a free meal for that price. So make sure your giveaway is valuable.
- You need to make users take action: There is no free lunch. So you can make users like your page, or share, or comment or tag their friends, or fill a form. It depends on what you want.
- Make it fun: One underrated aspect of giveaways is, it’s much more impactful if you can make the Giveaway fun. You can have a quiz, a puzzle, a small GIF game. Fun is always more engaging.
