Looking for inspiration for your next Facebook contest? Check out these ideas from Sodexo merchants.
Running a Facebook contest is one of the best ways to connect with your audience. It ups your engagement and allows you to grow and interact with your audience. When executed properly, it also gives you free advertising.
To help you get started, we did the pre-work of researching the most creative practices being done by our partner merchants today. Check out the list below for some ideas that will inspire you to run a Facebook contest of your own.
1. Pick a Prize
As part of their Valentine’s Day celebration, AirAsia held a contest where their followers could choose any item from their e-commerce site as a gift for their special someone.
What we love about this:
AirAsia has always been known as a booking platform for affordable flights, not a duty-free e-commerce store. By holding a contest like this, they were able to maximize the romantic holiday buzz to promote and drive traffic to their online shop.
AirAsia ticketing offices in Alabang and Makati are accepting Sodexo paper and digital GCs.
2. Race to a Million Followers
Lazada hosted a massive giveaway to achieve one goal: reach two million followers. For every target follower count reached, sets of prizes including official K-Pop lightsticks, air fryers, a smart TV, and more were prepared to be given away.
What we love about this:
The contest has taken their followers on a journey and engaged them more as Lazada achieved each follower milestone.
From having less than 1.3 million Tiktok followers when they started the contest, Lazada grew their audience to 1.7 million to date.
Lazada e-vouchers are available in the Shop tab of the Sodexo+ app.
3. Member-only Giveaway
AbensonHOME held a contest exclusive to the members of their online community, with a home appliance as a giveaway.
What we love about this:
Not only this contest increased abensonHOME’s engagement on social media, but it also grew their Viber community. It’s a smart and fun way to interact with your consumers and eventually convert that interaction into a sale.

5. Live Game
During a live event, Robinsons Supermarket hosted a game for stay-at-home moms and dads and their kids.

What we love about this:
Quizzes are a fun way to gather information from your followers. In this contest, we had the goal of knowing more about our audience’s preferences and quarantine habits.
