Kontest presents the periodic contests!

Thanks to you, we have been busy during the last few months! In order to meet your ideas, suggestions and of course in order to satisfy you, the Kontest team is proud to present the new features of the platform! Here is what you can find in the HappyFlow version of Kontest : Periodic contests with the draw at end of period or the end of the contest Compatibility with HTTPS on Facebook Tracking pixel integration Improvment of the mobile version More new features are coming! But you will need to be patient. 🙂 Periodic contests Now a Premium contest can be divided into several sub-periods if it’s a quiz, a sweepstake or a poll! How does it work? When you choose the dates of your contest, you can also choose how many sub-periods you want. A small calendar of the periods will appear to make it clear for you. The minimum duration for each sub-period is 1 day. All the sub-periods will have the same duration. You can then define a set of questions for each sub-period if you have created a quiz. The questions will change each time a sub-period begins. Same thing for the prizes: you may very well offer different gifts for each sub-period. You also have the choice for the selection of the winners: you can decide to do it at the end of each sub-period or do it once your contest is completely finished. Of course you can download the database of participants at the end of each sub-period (and contact them when the next sub-period begins) or download the complete database at the end of the contest. By instance: Imagine a brand of extreme sports equipment that wants to offer a gift...

This will push the brand to offer content with a viral potential corresponding to the target and highlight this content rather than recruiting new members without thinking. Moreover, the statistics of your fan page, the « insights » will also be improved to give you more awareness on the impact of your various social actions and offer operations ever closer to your fans expectations.

The presentation has been completely changed and many things like photos, videos, and status updates are displayed according to the date they were added to the profile. Some new items also appear: the maps where we can see where a person checked-in, and special spaces where we can know which pages this person is a fan of and even what applications shes used in the past. To be informed about the public availability of this real online autobiography see the dedicated page on Facebook! Applications are implemented in a much more important way in the new profiles. Facebook has now partnerships with major companies working in the web and multimedia allowing more social interactions between brands and users. here is an example: If one of your friends listen to a song on Spotify, a message will be pushed on his profile and on the newsfeed that will allow you to click to listen to this very same song....
