Facebook Offers vs Fan Clubs

Facebook Offers vs Fan Clubs

Today, merchants not only want more customers, they also want more fans on their Facebook Page. And they hope that customers like their page, but hope is not a strategy or a tactic.

Canz I have more Fanz Pleaze?

In the process of acquiring merchants for Fan Clubs, I have gotten some questions about Facebook Offers and Fan Clubs which would be best answered below.

Facebook Offers for everybody; Fan Club benefits for your fans only

A Facebook user does not need to like your Facebook Page. All the user needs to do is accept your offer. The problem here is that there are no immediate returns on your offers. If you are lucky, you offer will be well claimed. If not, it will just be another ordinary wall post. 


Registration for customers is only done once. 
Customers see other Fan Clubs, they just click LIKE.


On the other hand, for somebody to claim a Fan Club benefit, that Facebook user must first register their mobile and like your Facebook Page.  With Fan Clubs, the immediate result is that you turn a customer into a fan if the customer chooses to claim that benefit. 

You can’t track who claimed your Facebook Offers; Fan Clubs allows you to recognise your fans

When Facebook users claim your Facebook Offers, you wouldn’t know who claimed except for the quantity of fans who claimed. 

Upon claiming a Facebook Offer, the customers would have to show their mobile phone. As such, a customer can keep on claiming without any tracking made available to the merchant. 

Fan Clubs, however, allows the merchant to keep track of the discount claimed for proper accounting. We are also working on updating the merchant with a simple email report to highlight to him how many fans have registered to join the Fan Club, checked-in to enjoy the fan benefit, and how many fans seen the wall post.

You need to pay Facebook to promote Facebook Offers: Fan Clubs give you FREE word of mouth marketing and sponsored stories

Facebook has said that only 20% of your fans will see your wall post. If you want to get more to see your wall post of the Facebook Offers, you will need to buy advertisement from Facebook.

FREE word of mouth marketing and  FREE sponsored stories for merchants!

Fan Clubs gives you FREE word of mouth marketing and sponsored stories.  When a fan is recognised at the shop, a wall post will appear on the friends’ newsfeed. The copy of the wall post is designed to be generic as it will only share that the friend has enjoyed a fan benefit.

The link to the wall post is customisable, so it can land on your Facebook Page, wall post update and even a microsite.

This wall post is subsequently converted to sponsored stories so more friends can see.

The sponsored stories are paid for by the payment providers like PayPal and NETS and you only need to pay existing transaction fees.  

The entire Fan Club solution, Point of Sale Materials (POSM) and sponsored stories are FREE to the merchants.

How UOB's Paper Trail Amplifies IT Greatest Security Threat

UOB required you to do everything on paper. If you want to change your mobile number for your banking account with them or for your credit card, you need to fill up a form. Yet, this paper trail represented a potential security fail for the bank - Human Error. So a bitcoin expert walked into UOB to open a bank account. The bank employee had to print a form from a online pdf document to fill in this bitcoin expert's particulars. When it came to entering the bitcoin expert's email, that's when the forgotten art of handwriting was the most obvious of the digital generation. Wrote Robert Capodieci, My name is Roberto Capodieci, as most of you know. and my email address is very obvious to decode. It is not a p4l_l337_s0u1@gmail.com, but it is a more obvious roberto@capodieci.com, thing that, right after reading my name in the same form, should come out easy. Still, a data entry personnel of the UOB bank (or of a service provider the UOB bank uses) entered it as roberto

NEL Train Fault Shouts Lack Of Crisis Communication

The North-East Line train fault of 11 April 2018 was my virgin experience of a rush hour train fault since I moved to Punggol. One would have thought that with the number of train faults experienced by the North-East Line operator, SBS Transit, they would have improved the communications and handling of train faults. However, my personal experience told another story. First, there were no announcements at the Punggol LRT stations of the train fault even though SBS Transit manages them. The train fault was reported as early as 7.10am as I had a friend who was also stuck in the train. I boarded the LRT at Coral Edge around 7.30am and I didn't hear of any announcement nor was there any signage to inform me o the train fault at Punggol Station. Second, the announcement kept saying that there would be a 15 minutes delay, but 15 minutes passed and the trains, on both side, wasn't moving. If the announcement would be more frank to say it will be a longer delay, commuters would

Singapore radio personality in "hot soup" for reporting train delays based on Tweets?

Update - Hossan Leong has commented on this post to say " I'm not in trouble pls don't blow this out of proportion. Let it rest. It's getting silly. Thank you for your love and concern and I apologize for any misunderstanding." ~  Hossan Leong. Hossan Leong, a Singapore radio personality for The Gold Breakfast Show on Gold 90.5, was censured today for reporting on train delays on the Circle Line because he based the information on Tweets, rather than waiting for the official reports from the Circle Line operator, SMRT.  It is, however, unknown if the "warning" came from Mediacorp producers or SMRT. Tweeted Hossan Leong ,  OK...I reported it on air and now I'm getting into trouble for it?? The CC line is DOWN rite? I did nothing wrong rite? The SMRT Circle Line was reported to be down this morning during peak hours and started as early as 7am. However, local news only received official statement was received by the mainstream media at about 9
