Have you ever posted content on your Facebook Page only to realize that you made a typo and hit the "Publish" button a little too fast? It's happened to the best of us and fortunately Facebook will let you edit a post after it's been published. However updating an attachment like your contest's picture and description can be a little bit tricky. But no worries, we'll guide you through this!
Boosting your contest with a promoted post is a great practice to increase its visibility. This lets you target a specific audience and reach people outside your immediate circle of fans and friends. But how can you track your campaign performance and know how many people actually answered your contest as a result of seeing your ad? How can you re-engage with participants in order to promote your business?
The answer to both these questions lies in the Facebook Pixel. The pixel allows you to track participants so you can assess the effectiveness of your ad campaigns and then target these same participants as a Custom Audience in your next campaigns.
When adding a multiple-choice question to a contest, it can be tedious to create each option and type in the different choices.

Today we have great news for our Enterprise subscribers. When you click the "+ New" button to create a new promotion, you will see a menu asking you to choose how you would like to interact with your audience. You can select one of the following: poll, contest or quiz. This gives you access to all our apps from a single account.
Today we updated the domain name used for sharing contests to make it even shorter. The domain contest.fbapp.io has been effectively replaced by contest.app.do throughout the app. This shorter URL will be easier to type in a browser's address bar.
When you install a Tab on your Facebook Page, it will be named "Contest" by default. It's sometimes useful to rename the tab to better reflect the purpose of your contest. You could for example rename it to "Contact Form" or "Mother's Day Contest". Fortunately, changing a tab's name can easily be done by following these steps:
Following the Facebook privacy stories of last week and the European Union GDPR regulation coming into force next month, we made a few changes to the Contests for Pages app to give participants more explicit control on the information they share with contest creators. Here are the changes you will notice starting this week when creating a contest:
