Promoting Your Business With Contest Marketing Like Mcdonalds Is Now Possible

Nov. 23, 2010 - PRLog -- Facebook and twitter among other social networking sites have millions of active users participating in conversations every minute of the day. Now small businesses and marketing firms can use these platforms to promote their businesses by giving away state of the art items such as ipads, using contests to spread the word about their business. Bill McIntosh states, contests have been around since the Roman Olympic years and big business companies like Pepsi and McDonalds use contests to bring attention to their products. Recently contests have exploded through social networking and it will only get better.
Bill McIntosh stated “Everyone remembers looking under the bottle cap of their soda to see what they won… or the Monopoly game at McDonalds.  It’s been around for generations… but now it’s a viable way to spread a marketing message virally through social marketing contests that give away valuable prizes everyone wants!”
Bill went on to say “In today’s day and age, where advertising messages hit us from every angle conceivable, running social contests is quite the change of pace to the knock-them-over-the-head sales attempts we’ve grown used to”
In addition, with the applications available online being so user friendly it has become easier than ever to run and manage a context. Any small business or marketing agency now has the ability to set up and run contests quickly with applications such as Contest Burner.
Small businesses will grow a group of people on Facebook and Twitter spreading the word by posting on their status or tweeting a shout out to their followers. The contest will gain momentum going viral and bringing the hype the small business anticipates for their business. “All participants have to do is what they do everyday anyway… post on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc but they win prizes for doing so” says McIntosh.
Contest Burner is an easy to use online application that integrates with WordPress blogs, Facebook, or any site. It allows individuals, small businesses and marketing firms a user-friendly application to manage and run viral online marketing contests.
