Update On The Great Facebook/Twitter Fan/Follower Drive

jess — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 18:29:14 +0000

If you’re at all plugged in on Facebook and Twitter, you’ve noticed the increased back-and-forth flow of info on the Quirky pages. The Great Facebook/Twitter Fan/Follower Drive is in full swing! Here’s an update on the action thus far:

Our members are killing it on Facebook… we went from 399 to 640 fans in just three days. That’s a 60% increase — amazing! Don’t forget: we’re offering free idea submissions and Quirky gift packs to the community members who suggest the page to the most eventual fans. Check out all the details here. We’ve also posted an exclusive 24-hour Facebook-only discount coupon code for idea submissions, which is only accessible to fans.

The results of our Twitter drive have been a little less impressive. In three days, we went from 1,421 Twitter followers to 1,480. That’s an increase of only 4.15% — not too impressive. Any community advice on how to boost those numbers? We need your help to make this drive a success!

The Great Facebook/Twitter Fan/Follower Drive Begins!!!

As of 10:35 a.m., Quirky had 1,421 Twitter followers and 399 Facebook fans — not too shabby for a 9-month company like ours, but we know we can do better.

And so, this week, we’ve decided to launch The Great Facebook/Twitter Fan/Follower Drive! It’s a mouthful, we know, but it best describes what we want to accomplish over the next week: engage our existing community to boost our number of fans and followers exponentially. Our goal is to break 3,000 Twitter followers and 800 Facebook fans by the end of the week. Ambitious? We know. But do we think we can do it? Say it with me… YES. WE. CAN!

All week, we’ll be holding exclusive contests and giveaways on Facebook and Twitter. Keep your eyes on these sites for timed discount coupons and the chance to win free products and idea submissions.

If you’re not yet a fan or a follower, don’t delay! You don’t want to miss this.
