The four dissimilar types of Facebook Deals

Individual Deals

For one off or particular deals, this is the excellent option. This can be a tactic to reach both existing and new customers. It could be a product or service launch, a one of gift or a reduction code for example.

Loyalty Deals

If your finding to repaymen buyer loyalty or encourage return visits a loyalty deal would be more suitable. These deals may be claimed by customers after a unavoidable estimate of check-ins. A bit like the stamped cards you get at coffee shops, upon visiting and checking a on a estimate of occasions (defined by you - in the middle of 2 and 20 times) the buyer would receive their deal.

Friend Deals

If your finding to generate even additional exposure for each check-in then Friend deals might be the best option. If your store or eatery is often frequented by groups of population then this could be ideal. The functionality of Friend deals is very similar to private deals but to gain a repaymen a user must tag a estimate friends in the deal. For example, if you go out for a meal with 4 friends and you tag them in your check-in you could potentially receive a deal. These deals can build even more exposure for your enterprise because in order to claim your deal, your customers need to introduce what you have to offer to their friends and family.

Charity Deals

Does your enterprise have a charitable side? Why not make a donation when a Facebook user checks-in. It's a great way for you to give back to the community but be aware that you will have to carry on the donation process.

Deals are a great way of promoting straight through Facebook and should/will be considered by many major clubs in the arrival months.
