Facebook Parties:  A Social Medial Marketing Success Yesterdays #CountryCornerVintageMarket #FacebookParty (hosted by Leah of #TheOldeFarmhouse) was a BIG success. I'd never participated in a "Facebook Party" prior to this and I LIKED it. The party generated excitement among the customers and vendors.  With everyone sharing the EVENT through their #Facebook, #Twitter and other social media outlets, it really helps spread the word.  I especially like how it gives EVERYONE the same chance to receive something from the vendors AND increases awareness and traffic to the participating vendors Facebook page.

Have you been to a Facebook party lately? The Olde Farmhouse will be hosting the "Country Corner Vintage Market" on July 26th and 27th at Country Fest in Maple Ridge. To celebrate, they are hosting a #FacebookParty. The Vendors of the "Country Corner Vintage Market" (hosted by the #OldeFarmhouse), have donated prizes to be given away to lucky shoppers during the party.  In order to qualify, you just have to visit the Facebook page of the vendor's prize as it is offered, LIKE it, then return to the events page to comment that you have done so.  Then answer a fun  (and very easy)   question asked on that post and cross your fingers.  Every 4-5 minutes (or so), a new prize is offered up.  A  random number generator is used to pick each winner.   The winners must pick up their prize at the market, from the vendors booth. The Facebook party will take place on July 22nd, 2014 from 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm.  During the part...
