I'm almost reluctant to mention this method. I don't do FB marketing and I could be stating something so blatantly obvious that you're all doing it. I came across it today, though, and I figure it may be useful. If it isn't feel free to throw tomatoes (although I prefer bananas).
Method in a nutshell (it must be a nutshell and not a typical seashell): You'll be encouraging growth by holding competitions and giving away prizes. In order to be in with a chance to win a prize, FB users have to do a few things. These few things help to grow your page.
1. What you're going to give away.
I've seen today people offering TVs. Lots of alternatives exist: whatever you have lying around, unused, unwanted; whatever you can afford to buy (given how many likes you could get in putting it up); digital products you can make (websites). The trick is to check out other pages and see what items it is that people want most. A 300 buck (or thereabouts) TV is what I saw today.
2. Terms of Competition.
Pin the information up top on your page. You can give something away each month or you can set it to the amount of likes: everything 50K, for example. Write down the steps of how they can take part. This last part is important; it's how you grow you your page. The example I saw today is like this: like our competition (they post about it each day, so you just choose one to like); share it on your page; and, of course, like our page. Whenever the competition deadline is up, you then go through your shares, and choose a winner at random.
3. Growth.
Pretty obvious. The requirement to share your competition posts thrusts your advertising message in front of the eyeballs of their friends. Friends wanting to win your "whatever" visit and like your page.
It seems to me a legitimate method of growing fan pages. It would work really well if you have items that you can get for free or at very little cost, but items that others will value. It must be working for others. The page I saw today had 200K likes.
Remember . . . I prefer bananas!
