PRESS NOTE – TORONTO, BARCELONA – FEBRUARY 10, 2017
Today, Easypromos, a global leader in digital promotions, announced the results of a six-month study of Facebook promotions which found that Sweepstakes posted on a Facebook page receive, on average, more than 1000% more interactions than a standard promotional post on the same page. Facebook sweepstakes enable Facebook page owners to host a giveaway among followers who like or comment on a post.
“Facebook Sweepstakes are becoming one of the most used and effective promotions on Facebook pages” said Carles Bonfill, founder and CEO of Easypromos. “The social nature of sweepstakes encourages follower engagement and sharing, which means greater organic reach and better return on investment than other promotional tools can offer. We are seeing at 250% increase in usage on our platform compared to last year.”
