Basic Applications for Any Fanpage

There are a number of Social Media agencies that will bill you in the thousands for using their applications. If you do come across someone who charges you more than $1,000 a month for an application – our advice,  run far, far way!

At Tickled Media, we have built two custom applications

1) Luckydraw/Sweepstake Application

2) Discount/Voucher Application

Our rates to rent these applications, and have us install/code it for you onto your fanpage are $200 USD a month.

Going forward, we will be creating a photo contest application and a video contest application. These will be ready by Mid April 2011.

If you need a photo contest application before April 2011, we would recommend the following options:

1) Wildfire Application

2) Blazonapp

Honour your fans!

If you want your fans to feel like they are really a part of your community, take the time to honour them. You can do this by dedicating status update shout outs to specific fans thanking them for their particpation or hold meet up groups so you can get to know them better. If you have the time and budget, we would recommend having a Fan Of The Week, “FOTW” campaign.

Here are some fanpages that hold regular FOTW campaigns.

Should you just create one fanpage or many fanpages

At our most recent social media workshop, a delegate asked us if they should just create one fanpage for their company or a variety of different fanpages. According to them, the company they were considering to engage to execute their Facebook campaign had advised them to create just one fanpage for the entire company. We, at Tickled Media, on the other hand vehemently disagreed. Creating just one single fanpage for a company that had many different verticals seemed like a ludicrous idea. Why in the world would someone who enjoys, say Milo care to be a fan of Gerber or Nan Formula – even though the holding company is the same – Nestle. They are completely different target markets, with very distinct age groups and needs. So, yes, we still stick to our stand – different fanpages for different products.

Here are some companies who have executed a fantastic strategy to link up all their different fanpages.

PS: Nestle was not the company who asked us the question.
