Are Your Promotions or Competitions Breaking Facebook Guidelines?
A lot of businesses are just starting out on Facebook, experimenting with the best ways to use this platform to generate more fans and turn them into customers. But because Facebook started out as a free communication tool for individual users, many businesses might not realise that they have some fairly strict regulations when it comes to ways in which you can capitalise on their site.
For example, once you have a good number of fans on Facebook an excellent way to get those fans interested is to run a competition on Facebook - offering a prize for the winners. Many companies on Facebook have just gone ahead with this, and inadvertantly broken Facebook rules. Their salvation is the fact that currently Facebook has nowhere near the amount of resources required to police these issues.
