Social Contest for Offline business?

As the title mentioned, do you guys sell 'Social Contest Services' to your offline clients? If so what kind of tools you're using at the moment?

Social media (specially facebook and twitter) buzz is hot in Internet marketing arena, but I wonder if this is something that can be a part the sales funnel for offliners.

One of the social contest software Woobox claimed to have 3 millions customer at the moment. So it means it's a huuuge market opportunity for offliners.

Let me know your thoughts on this. Thank you.

    I've only done a few contests, and while they were profitable, they may not be the biggest game changed for a business. It doesn't do much except get a few likes or Twitter follows here and there, but it didn't do much to their brand.

    Do you feel like having a social media contest for your business client will help them get more clients? If so, go ahead and do it, but it may not be the best thing to do time wise since it can be a bit more time consuming than you think.

      I can imaging using Facebook as your main platform to hold any type of contest. Like for instance getting people to Like or Share the page making them automaticly ellagable for the draw of something free your offering

      You should get creative with your social media and have twitter and instagram point to your facebook

    We've done FB campaigns and contests that more than doubled the clients investment in around 14 days , gained them 500+ opt ins to their email/sms lists, plus of course FB engagement, enabled us/them to market 'deals' to those who didn't 'win' and increased customer spend on a log term basis .

    Think big, long term with these strategies, not just a quick in and out small win.
