I wanted to create a facebook fun page for hotel where I work. Do you think is it better to do a fan page or a profile? Plan is to get as many fans as possible mainly from 2 targeted countries. I had idea to do a game every week where one of fans can get free trip fo and 7 days staying in a hotel for 2 people(all expenses covered). So, to get in a competition, they have to become fans and send invitation to the group to all their friends. How to technicaly do this good? Is there a way to know for sure did they invite their friends to join the group? This way looks expensive, but I think it is a good way to get targeted fans. And my boos already does this game with coupons. I just want to move to facebook. So, any ideas? Thanks for help!
ya, its cool idea. If your hotel have restaurant then Write a not below it " join us facebook and get an chance to win exciting prizes" or other attractive lines ..
You have to create the Fan page as everybody mentions, update it very often, like other pages...maybe create a campaign with facebook ads to your target countries...
Create a fan page and showcase all the details about the hotel on the page. Submit your fan page URL to social media exchange platform (free) to get more exposure.
make fan page & get targetted fns from your city & tell them about your special dishs & offers ,, sure you will get some customers
Its great Idea mate, to start with Facebook campaigning. New facebook timeline features will definately help you in visual branding and hence it would help you in getting few more likes. But again you need to make this page visible in digital media throgh different channels. You can also put your hotel video on landing page, so that users/viewers can have look at hotel's amenities. cheers!
Fan Page is the way to go. Facebook profile is more for personal usage, interacting with your friends, colleagues and family members etc. With Facebook Fanpage, you can build more fans but this will take time. Frequent updates is a must and don't forget to upload lots of photos pertaining to activities and hotel's amenities. It's just something about the Facebook community that people just love to browse through pictures. You might want to create a good welcome page for your Fanpage as well. Don't forget to promote your Fanpage to your friends within your personal Facebook network. This will help in terms of getting your Fanpage to go viral. One more thing. I think Facebook recently came out with a new application called "Branchout". It's a good application to reach out to more people. It's something like creating your network (more to career network) and if you have lots of friends, you can invite them to this network of yours and your friends can add their friends to your network, giving you more exposure. From here, you can share activities or whatsoever and always try to direct those people within this network of yours to your Fanpage when you're updating certain activities within it. By then, you'll be building up lots of fans in no time.
create a page, probably do advertising for it (on facebook). probably see if there are any hotel\motel topic groups on facebook, maybe they'll let you advertise.
Create a facebook page and sharing on all your friend and you should have a huge numbers of good friends who willl like and sharing your page ...........

Amazed that the advice above does not suggest promting facebook checkins as a way to attract people to their facebook page. All they need is a few checkin stickers boght from someone like mediastickers (dot) com
A Facebook fan page is useful for a travel related site even a hotel as it will allow you a lot of flexibility for advertising. For instance, you could feature articles about your local area, along with photos and videos submitted by users of your hotel. Each week, you might put up video clips of hotel staff members or guests or take a video tour of the hotel. Coupons or prizes are good, especially when linked to specific busy holidays. Think of a fun gimmick or promotion that would tie in well with Facebook. Just a few ideas for using a Facebook fan page for your hotel.
For me what is good if your gruop is closed, and they have to add friends to like their pic in order to win
People like to see pics, upload as many as possible. You can ask guests to write a review about their experiences.
