When was the last time you read Facebook's contest and promotion rules page? And Twitter's? Are you familiar with Instagram's? Yes: all of these social networks have rules for contests and promotions that you must follow if you don't want to risk having your brand's account or page deleted. And (I'm warning you) they change frequently, so it's a good idea to keep track of them regularly.
Perhaps due to ignorance, or perhaps due to negligence, there are still telegram data quite a few brands that run giveaways on social media, violating the specifications established by each platform.
The “red lines” you should not cross1. On Facebook, the use of personal profiles is prohibited.
The last update to Facebook's " Promotion Guidelines " dates back to August 2013 , when it removed the requirement to use apps to manage contests and promotions on Facebook. Until then, the regulations of May 2011, which introduced the requirement to use apps in separate tabs on Facebook's wall, were in force. Since August 2013, promotions can now be managed from both Facebook pages and apps. However, the following are prohibited:
Suggest “Share it on a friend’s timeline to get more shares.”
Promote “tag your friends in this post to participate.”
In short, personal biographies cannot be used as a means of managing promotions on Facebook. This means that running contests of this type is NOT PERMITTED .
