Illegal Facebook Promotions

If a promotion requires users to:

• tag themselves in a photo

• change their status in any way

• change their profile picture

• answer a question in a status update

• give any kind of response in the status

• like a photo or an update

• add friends

• respond with a photo not in a specific application

..it is considered ILLEGAL on Facebook and could result in your page being permanently deleted.

All promotions need to run through an application that does not use any of the basic functionality of Facebook.

More, Facebook’s policy dictates that one must get written approval from a Facebook account representative. In order to get one of those, you have to spend about ten grand advertising with the company, according to Eric Eldon at Inside Facebook.

However, has anyone heard of any Brand Pages being deleted for this type of activity?

Ad Age Insights: Shiny New Things for Digital Adopters

Check out this new whitepaper from Ad Age – Shiny New Things: What Digital Adopters Want, How to Reach Them and Why Every Marketer Should Pay Attention.

Key findings:

• Online voices of early adopters are not something you want to mess with
• Younger early adopters aren’t going to be dazzled by new technology just because it’s new: Products have to prove their usefulness to the group
• 53% of young women (Gen Y) identified themselves as early adopters. One researcher noted they are “the first to try new technologies, even before they become mainstream”
• Find those individuals who are going to be your advocates, and take the time to understand what makes them happy. Be upfront about missteps, and correct course quickly. There is nothing early adopters like more than to be heard by marketers.

100 words about digital branding

• People’s lives don’t revolve around your brand, they revolve around life.
• Your competition on the internet is everything else on the internet.
• Design your brand to be taken apart and put back together in unimagined ways by your consumers.
• Pass-along is made of people.
• Exponential pass-along is a social phenomenon, not a magic trick.
• Invest in relationships.
• Being measurable isn’t the same as being worthwile.
• If I can’t see what you’re interested in and what you choose to share, then I don’t know who you are.
• If your brand is acceptable to everyone, then it won’t be exciting to anyone.
• Care about something more important thank your product.

By Mike Aruz, wich I stongly recommend.

Bonus: If I tell my Facebook friends about your brand, it’s not because I like your brand, but rather because I like my friends.
