Consider holding a sweepstakes

In my consultations with my clients about Facebook (as it relates to their benefit auction), they often need a way to jumpstart the page. “We don’t have any fans,” they bemoan. Why not consider holding a sweepstakes? Drum up a little drama around your Facebook presence. Your prize can be something small. Maybe it’s an extra branded mousepad you have sitting around. Or a squeeze toy. Or a T-shirt, if you’ve got one. If you have a bunch of something small, you could give many people the chance to win. “Every 10th fan will receive a coffee cup.” That would be fun!
