My first giveaway!

We've all heard it "You've got to spend money to make money" the phrase that is always tossed around when discussing a new business. Its true though, and I've decided to spend a little extra money  on my Avon business.

My first campaign wasn't super profitable, but respectable. I made my first goal in the "just for you" incentive program and am excited to get that first shipment in and package everyone orders with new brochures and samples! 

One area that has been challenging for me is social media marketing. As I've posted about before I am learning a lot from Makeup Marketing Online because I really want to be successful in this area but I've been having trouble gaining fans on my Facebook page so far. To help with this, I've decided to do a giveaway which requires people to like my page and share the contest post in order for them to be entered to win.

I am hoping it will increase my Facebook page likes so that when I post deals in the future I will reach more people! I got all of these products at great prices when I placed my first campaign order so I don't feel like the giveaway cost me too much of my first profits. 

Have any of you ever done giveaways before? Did it help your page gain likes/engagements?
