Here’s how the hotel did it and what you could do too:
For steps 1 and 2, create a Facebook fangate that offers value to the user. A fangate is a custom tab that shows certain content to Fans and different content to non-Fans. Make sure it’s something tangible and enticing enough that would compel the user to click Like.
On this booking engine, when the user hovers over the Facebook button next to the Promotion Code box, an enticing “Secret Promotion” lures guests to click on their Facebook button. Here, they will get the promotion code.
On this booking engine, the experience of exclusivity and value is heightened because the reservations area is positioned as “for members-only.”
