I did one and it was pretty successfull. I posted a status asking friends to tag my page in a status asking friends to add it. Whoever tagged me got put into the draw to win a set of gelish rockstars
I did this after reading this post. I selected my winnder on Monday. I emailed her and let her know she had won. I also offered a further 10% off for friends who booked on the same day. She has booked in for her free Gelish and is paying for Eyelash ext and eyebrow waxing, her mum has also booked in for treatments and so has her sis so all in all the competition has got me a booking worth £78! I am going to do one each week during Jan x

This is a great idea, have been wanting to do something similar myself but haven't as yet as I seem to recall naturalnails saying in another thread some time ago about you aren't allowed to run competitions on Facebook and is against their rules, this could be why (sorry, can't remember who it was that has said it in the thread now) your competition was removed xx

Facebook is very strict about competition rules. It's all done to protect Facebook as a platform so they want to distance themselves from any liabilities. Therefore any competition that selects a 'winner' that uses facebook's tools (such as 'like' or even posting a photo of the winner) run the risk of having your page shut down. You need to use a third party application such as 'wild fire' if you intend to select a winner (even if the winner is selected at random).

For running a 'like' competition.
No competition can be run on facebook that requires someone to like the page first.
The way facebook want you to run a competion is:
You can state you have a competition on a stutus but ALL aplications MUST be via email & the anouncement of winner must be via email.
Basically making it a pointless excercise.
I was going to do a win a spray tan competition for mothers day last year but found the rules so silly that it meant it was a pointless thing so didn't do it.
Here are the rules:

Good to see it's working for some of you... From my post last week, I had some lovely PM's.
Been a bit quiet on here as I really took it personally and felt like poop.
Just wanna thank those that sent me some really kind words and to anyone considering a comp, keep it up.
Don't let me and my billy no mates experience put you off.
Keep up the good work, chaps
Love H x

Hi all,
Using Facebook can be a great way of building awareness and, of course, a really effective way of creating a bigger buzz around your business is to run a competition or promotion. However be careful as Facebook has guidelines governing competitions and promotions on Facebook. These are summerised in their promotions guidelines which are here: Facebookhttp://www.facebook.com/promotions_guidelines.php
We are currently running a competition on Facebook but have used a 3rd party software called WooBox to keep inline with the terms. You can see how our competition works here: http://woobox.com/yxpy8c I have seen several pages and accounts be closed down for not following the terms so be a little careful
Hope it helps.
