Vistaprint N.V. (Nasdaq: VPRT) today announces Pagemodo
Contests, a new feature from Pagemodo, the popular do-it-yourself
suite of Facebook marketing tools for small businesses. Pagemodo
Contests provides a fast and easy way to set up, run, and track engaging
Facebook contests and sweepstakes without having the knowledge to design
or code.
Creating and running promotions on a Facebook fan page can help small
businesses reach multiple objectives, such as generating customer leads,
growing page participation, building a community of engaged fans, and
creating awareness through word-of-mouth. Typically pages that run
contests can see an increase in the number of likes and subscribers,
higher engagement and increased traffic from a targeted audience.
Ultimately, this can help small businesses drive direct sales.
Pagemodo Contests is designed to make it simple to create easy and
effective social media contests. Page administrators can grow
interaction and awareness with photo, video, and essay contests, reward
fans by offering sweepstakes and giveaways, and encourage fans to try
products and share with friends through coupon offers.
Additional features include the ability to export all contest entries
for future marketing purposes, and to track and analyze promotion
performance with real time data and insights. Administrators can choose
contest winners manually or through an automated drawing. All promotions
created using Pagemodo Contests automatically include “smart URLs” that
allow brands to share custom tabs via mobile devices or social channels
and expand the reach of their promotions.
"Pagemodo Contests offers a professional quality promotion tool at a
price point that is ideal for small businesses,” said Haroon
Mokhtarzada, Vistaprint’s vice president of global digital product and
co-founder of Webs. “The tool is designed to remove roadblocks for small
businesses by guiding users through the creation of promotions that help
to build brand awareness and drive engagement. We also simplified
pricing, so unlike some other solutions, we do not require users to pay
based on their page’s number of likes or by the duration of the
promotion they wish to run.”
Pagemodo
offers a truly all-in-one solution for managing a Facebook presence,
from the ability to create a custom cover photo, to creating
eye-catching custom tabs and promotions, to helping users find and
schedule engaging content to post on Facebook and Twitter. With the
addition of Contests, Pagemodo offers everything small businesses need
to succeed in their social marketing.
