    Hey,

    Was just thinking that it would be great (and free) promotion if we listed our Facebook fan pages and then everyone could "Suggest to Friends" for each other.

    Rather than just going and suggesting everyone's page, and then getting annoyed if they don't suggest yours - how about you just post your Fan Page URL, then people can PM you and agree for the 2 of you to exchange a "suggestion to all your friends".

    To make it easier for all of us, below is instructions to select all friends at once:

    You can invite all your friends without clicking them all, by using this simple technique. It works in FireFox, Chrome and Safari Browser but might not work when using Internet Explorer. Just copy this code:
    javascript:elms=document.getElementById('friends').getElementsByTagName('li');for(var fid in elms){if(typeof elms[fid] === 'object'){fs.click(elms[fid]);}}
    

    After you copy the code above, go to our page and click "Suggest to friends" button and paste the code in the browsers address bar and hit enter on your keyboard. Finally, click "Send Invitations" after all your friends are highlighted. That's it! Your done...

    Looking forward to us all having more facebook fans! ;)

    K lets get this ball rolling!

    http://www.facebook.com/pages/AMP-Sound-Systems/156567775603?v=app_4949752878

    I have nearly 600 friends. Mostly based in Ireland. From about 18-28.

    I need users with Irish friends.

    Thanks in advance! ;)

    That link doesn't work for me. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 203 ✭✭AMPSound


    Nope. Aint working! Can you post the facebook.com/pages/XYZ link instead?


  • Registered Users Posts: 436 ✭✭Moses7




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 203 ✭✭AMPSound


    No luck with the link from the website. And I did try it in a different browser as well. Maybe its just my computer though!

    However, I could not find anything on Facebook search either! Maybe someone else can try it and let us know if it works for them or not.

    Would be interested in doing this is someone would like to exchange details via PM. I'm typically looking for fans in the 20-35 year age group.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 203 ✭✭AMPSound


    Thanks everybody so far! I have 10 new fans already. May not sound like a whole lot, but if one if them is becomes a customer I am happy!

    As it may be lost in all the posts, my link again is:
    http://www.facebook.com/pages/AMP-Sound-Systems/156567775603?v=wall

    Still welcoming more people's pages to suggest to my friends if the favour is returned!

    Thanks all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,600 ✭✭✭00112984


    After exchanging FB details with AMPSound, I've gained 6 new fans in just 10 hours- not bad going at all :D

    If anyone else is interested, let me know via PM.

    Tombull - sorry for the delay, but just sent those suggestions. Can you let me know how many fans you get from it over the next couple of days? Just want to see how people are doing and if its working for everyone.

    I also posted an ad on your site! Its awesome! ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 203 ✭✭AMPSound


    As all this probably got lost at the top of the post, here we go again!

    Can I suggest that people agree via PM before suggesting someones page. This will just make sure that nobody forgets to suggest (as I nearly did) or feels pressured into returning the favour.

    And whatever you do - do not click 5 or 6 hundred friends!!! You will be there all night! Follow these instructions:

    You can invite all your friends without clicking them all, by using this simple technique. It works in FireFox, Chrome and Safari Browser but might not work when using Internet Explorer. Just copy this code:

    javascript:elms=document.getElementById('friends').getElementsByTagName('li');for(var fid in elms){if(typeof elms[fid] === 'object'){fs.click(elms[fid]);}}

    After you copy the code above, go to our page and click "Suggest to friends" button and paste the code in the browsers address bar and hit enter on your keyboard. Finally, click "Send Invitations" after all your friends are highlighted. That's it! Your done...

    This is a super idea. My company does't have many fans at the moment as we are only launching but would appeciate any help with getting fans.

    Perhaps, you'd like to become a fan yourself?

    http://www.facebook.com/pages/Best-Price-Accessories/121975214502892


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 203 ✭✭AMPSound


    My company does't have many fans at the moment

    Hey,

    The amount of fans your page does not make any difference. This works by suggesting a page to your real Facebook friends, not to the fans you have on your page.

    So if you have 300 friends, but only 10 fans on your page, its the 300 that counts!

    And if that is the case, you should certainly suggest your page to every one of your friends. Most of them will become a fan to support you, others will be interested. Then their friends will see it and become a fan too if it catches their eye. And lastly, having a few hundred fans to start with is always good, as it looks better to potential customers who stumble onto your fan page.

    Good luck with your venture! ;)

    Thanks

    Hi All
    AMPsound how does that link work.

    javascript:elms=document.getElementById('friends').getElementsByTagName('li');for(var fid in elms){if(typeof elms[fid] === 'object'){fs.click(elms[fid]);}}

    Where do you put it. Sorry if a dumb question.

    I dont mean to sound smart, but follow the instructions word for word and it will work.
    After you copy the code above, go to our page and click "Suggest to friends" button and paste the code in the browsers address bar and hit enter on your keyboard. Finally, click "Send Invitations" after all your friends are highlighted. That's it! Your done...

    Go to the page, and click Suggest to Friends. The box will pop up where you would usually click every one of your friends. Instead, click in the address bar (marked 1 in this image http://www.fullget.net/Images/ArticleFiles/ArticlePicture/Search_history_and_settings_Delete_past_searchesbdcfb964_83c6_4e80_9a39_d0694591cee5.gif). Then press Ctrl + V to paste the code in. Then hit enter. It may take a few seconds, but then all your friends will be selected. Just hit "Send inviations".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21 helper11


    Thanks a million for that. I will start suggesting you all to friends tomorrow.

    Thanks again AMPSound

    Singing Star Experience

    I'm going back through some of the threads to make some recommendations. Should also mention thats it's probably only relevant to Irish fans


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,472 ✭✭✭Sposs


    Haven't really push my page just yet , not enough fans to get a unique URL.

    http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/dediserve/118395291527634?ref=ts

    What's the general view of having a fanpage? has it lead to sales is it worth the effort of keeping it up to date and engaging?

    I launched a business with my friend this month (www.quickslick.net). Our website seems to be getting a modest amount of hits but our facebook fan page is sorely lacking. Could you 'like' us on there? Its much appreciated!

    Given that you work in web design, you should probably look at producing a landing page (check out the static fbml application) for your business page. Done right, it should help up the conversion rate when someone stumbles across your business page (landing directly on the wall seldom gives a non fan a clear idea of exactly what you do in order to make a decision on whether to like or not).
