10 Places To Promote Your Social Contest For Maximum Exposure | Social Media Today

10 Places To Promote Your Social Contest For Maximum Exposure | Social Media Today: "In my last article, I talked about the Why, Where, When & How of hosting a social media contest for engagement. In today's post, I will go into where you should promote your contest for ultimate exposure.

The success of your contest relies on how many targeted individuals enter. While the contest market is heavily saturated, the response you will get is related to the prize you giveaway (the better the prize, the more entries) and how well you promote it. Just as I focus a lot of energy on blog promotion, contest promotion should be taken just as seriously.

HOW TO PROMOTE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA CONTEST

1. Facebook

Facebook is the first place you should turn to when deciding where to promote your contest. As your audience here is used to this type of engagement, it is an easy place to start to build up the excitement around the promotion. Often times your contest might even live within Facebook, which makes it an even more sensible place to start your promotion."
