Thank you for your nice words!

We certainly had a great time, and I’m so glad you were along for the ride.

I can say too that I found fruitful friendships and now have marvelous memories. Thanks for bringing that out in our dialogue here.

Looking forward to future activities with you…

Stephanie,

Thank you for your kind words, and for taking time to share your thoughts!

You’ve touched on something important: Quality over quantity. I too find that many are focused on *how many* total fans instead of how many are engaged, and the interaction on the page.

The follow-up question: Which is better? 100,000 fans that don’t pay attention or talk to you, or 1000 evangelists spreading your message like wildfire?

If you are not already with us, there are now 79 members in a Facebook group talking about ways to improve interaction and gearing up for similar exercises in the future. We’d love to have you there, and I’d invite you with big pleasure! 🙂

I’ll look to connect with you on other channels to continue exchanging ideas.

Nice meeting you here…

~Keri

Thanks so much for not only sharing your experience, but what you’ve learned. This is really helpful.

It’s so easy to focus on QUANTITY when it comes to Facebook. Most of our clients are caught up in the idea that more “fans” and more leads is better.

Your game is an excellent exercise in improving the QUALITY of community interaction, which will lead to warmer leads and naturally grow more high-quality likes and followers.

I hope to participate next time around!

Carolyn,

Thank you for reading and for sharing your thoughts.

Yes, I too have seen other schemes – Very “like-only” oriented. As Dorien and I were both participants of other previous attempts, our thoughts were to provide value. Which is the engagement.

The Like Achievements initially stumped some participants. They were very into the Like. But in the end, we all learned quite a bit from broadening the scope.

Your compliments mean a lot! 🙂

~Keri

Well done in creating and executing your brilliant idea, as well as sharing it with us!

Annemarie,

Wonderful to see your smile!

Thank you for your comment and feedback. Glad we are on the same page. I too have seen those Facebook Pages with tons of fans, but no interaction. I’ve also seen Pages with completely Twitter fed posts and no one paying attention because no one is there to respond to any conversation.

The key is engagement, just as you’ve said — Free of constant commercials. From there, a wonderful organic growth occurs. 🙂

Excellent advice above from a great friend,

~Keri

As far as your question; yes, I agree – engagement over numbers any day. You could have thousands of likers, however if no-one is engaging with you – doesn’t that defeat the purpose?

I have seen some business pages that have thousands of likers, all promoting their own wares and talking about themselves. I personally think this is like stepping into a room where everyone is shouting, yet no-one is listening. They’re all too busy promoting their stuff and moving onto the next.

Aim for quality content that you know your target market will appreciate and share, and of course come back to again and again, because you’ve build a solid reputation in your area of speciality and continue to provide that information on your page.

Again, great food for thought Keri!

Sherrie,

Thank you for your kind words.

Always great to hear when people gain new business connections as a result of social media! And also that you felt the game delivered more than you expected. Woohoo!

I enjoy seeing you online each day now, and look forward to what is to come with your business.

Dorien and I will certainly keep you posted…exciting things in the future for sure! 🙂

Thanks again for playing,

~Keri
