A common question I hear from our customers is “How much time should I spend on social media marketing?”

It’s an important question—23% of small businesses aren’t using social media, because a lack of time and knowledge are preventing them from jumping in.

Constant Contact is here to help. The new Coupon Campaign beta in our Social Campaigns tool allows you to create and post a Facebook promotion to help grow your Facebook Page and drive new business—in less than 10 minutes!

Here’s how it works:

When you create a new Social Campaign, choose the new Coupon Campaign beta by clicking the “Try It” button.

You’ll be taken to the editor, where you can enter your coupon details, including:

• Your coupon type – choose from a percentage off or dollar amount off of a purchase
• The coupon headline, which will appear at the top of the Like Gate page
• Any fine print rules or restrictions

The Social Campaigns editor will automatically build your campaign and fill in the details if you would like!

Next, customize your campaign with a color theme and font.

Then, choose how long you want the offer to run and schedule your campaign.

Next, promote your campaign by using Constant Contact’s Simple Share tool and by sending an email to your contact list.

That’s it! And we have other updated campaign types coming soon!
