Social Plug ins - These show a given user's Facebook friends' activity reading and commenting on the partner site e.g "like" button that can be installed on partner sites and instantly be used to voice a Facebook member's approval of a given item. Graph API - an overhaul of Facebook's platform code in which every object in Facebook has a unique ID. e.g a juiced-up search feature that will now make it possible for developers to search all public data on Facebook.

Foursquare & Gowalla – are mobile apps that allow users to check in to different locations which then send alerts to their friends of their location. Yahoo have just acquired a location based service of their own (Koprol). This may help push this function mainstream.

Rewarding those who repeat visit. Loyalty programs for people who check-in to the store. Facebook status updates could become location based. Sharing events that occurred in certain locations. Making it easier for people to search for events & to add their own content or story about that exact event.

20. Carlton Draught Media Coverage Paid media on radio through the partnership with Hamish & Andy on TodayFM. Social media coverage through news forums such as mUmbrella, accomnews & The Shout. National Papers such as The Australian covered parts of the campaign.

22. Carlton Draught Observations: Positives Good mix of traditional & non traditional marketing. Partnership with radio worked well in increasing awareness and attracting new audience. The promotion on Facebook increased fans of the page. The exact number I can’t find but am lead to believe it was in the 1000’s throughout duration of promotion. Negatives The prize wasn’t really a major talking point. Something worth $200k could have been more attractive and hence would have received more press.

Firstly it will reward your fans for supporting your page and being actively engaged. Secondly by having them invite friends as part of the competition your fan base will increase, thus increasing the number of fans we can talk to in further promotions/campaigns.
