So Facebook has changed their promotional guidelines. So many things that were once frowned upon by Facebook are now legal.Businesses can now:

  • Collect entries by having users post on the Page or comment/like a Page post
  • Collect entries by having users message the Page
  • Utilize likes as a voting mechanism

While it is now OK to ask people to submit names of a new product in exchange for a chance to win an prize. It is NOT ok to ask people to tag themselves in pictures of a new product for a chance to win.Socially Stacked have come up with the best way to give you all the information on the new promotional guidelines with a great Infographic (we love a good Infographic).
