Three great examples of our Facebook apps in action

By Rahim Fazal July 28th, 2009

Every day we’re amazed to find fresh and ingenious examples of brands supercharging their Facebook Pages with Involver’s marketing apps. I wanted to highlight three Pages that really stand out to us.

1) Kenneth Cole
Lesson Learned: More often than not, Facebook users will welcome an opportunity to add their voices to your brand conversations — especially if it leads to positive real-world consequences.

Kudos to Kenneth Cole, who will soon be donating a total of $15,000 to two worthy charities as part of its regular giving/community outreach program. How is the company deciding on the recipients? Through a popular vote and Facebook, of course! Right now you can vote for The Foundation for AIDS Research, charity: water, HELP USA, Human Rights Campaign, or the Sundance Institute through Kenneth Cole’s Involver-powered Facebook poll.

The company launched its Poll application just a short time ago, but already it has received more than 7,500 votes.

2) Bumble Bee Foods
Lesson Learned: Free stuff…it’s a powerful thing.

Bumble Bee is using our Coupon application to promote an exclusive Facebook-only offer. What is the specific offer, you might ask? Do folks get a free pack of tuna, a heavy bulk discount, or something else entirely? The answer, naturally, is given to those who choose to engage: visitors can find out all of the coupon details after becoming a Page fan.

This is a great marketing tactic: it’s the right mix of allure and opt-in convenience, and it’s obviously paying dividends for Bumble Bee. Among other things, we’re excited to see this coupon generating a lot of discussion on the company’s Facebook Wall.

3) Live Nation
Lesson Learned: Provide strong incentives via Twitter and Facebook News Feeds.

Live Nation uses Twitter to provide real substance to its music-loving and concert-going audience. Namely, it’s been regularly offering prizes, half-off tickets, and buy-one-get-one deals through new tweets. Now, using Involver, it can push out these tweets to its fans’ individual Facebook homepages. Needless to say, this is a nice instance of a company successfully extending the engagement value of existing content.

We hope that these live examples motivate you to take a second look at your Facebook content, as well as inspire you to give our marketing suite a try (a free try!) if you haven’t already. Also, please stay tuned for more! We’ll be regularly posting new Facebook Page case studies and best practices on this blog.
