Janet & Greta PodleskiHow did Janet & Greta use incentives to spread the word about their Fan Page?
• Facebook Ad Campaign
– Directed at target market using Facebook demographics
– Inexpensive
• Incentive
– Fans received a free recipe when they “liked” the page
– To a J&G fan, a recipe is a valuable and relevant incentive
– Gives fans a “taste” (no pun intended) for what they will see more of on
the Page as fans
Facebook Fan Page Traction
• Growth of Facebook “Likes” because of the free recipe giveaway
• Further growth and maintenance of an engaged fan following

Why does incentivizing work?• We are bombarded with so many requests for uses of our time
– Something has to catch our eye in order to decide to devote time to it.
Giveaways and other incentives grab attention
• People respond to give and take relationships
– What can I do for you, and what can you do for me?
– People don’t always expect something in return, so when they are
pleasantly surprised they are more likely to become evangelists
• It is most effective when the incentive is related to the brand
– i.e. Recipe in exchange for cookbook newsletter sign-up
– i.e. Branded cookie in exchange for new website feedback
• Adds a personal, human-like touch – People like maintaining relationships
with people rather than corporations/organizations
14
Using this Approach as an NFP
• Since one of the goals of a NFP’s existence are about raising
funds, it wouldn’t make sense or look good to donors to use
donated resources to reward people for engaging on social
media. This is why incentivizing via social media is a little bit
different for an NFP than a corporation or brand.
• One thing that people inherently enjoy is the “feel-good feeling”
associated with doing a good deed or contributing to the greater
social good, and of course, being publically recognized for it.
• This is something NFPs can leverage as an incentive.
