 Facebook's contests are not only gaining popularity but are becoming a good marketing strategy for restaurants of all sizes. Learn how this five ideas can help you start your very own low cost contest.

To participate contestants need to like your restaurant page and submit a photo with the recipe of their creation. And to win and move to the next level participants need to collect the most "likes" from fans
who'd want to see the winning recipe featured in your restaurant. The reward can be anything from your own establishment gift card to a special table service dinner for the winner and his friends.
2. Easter Egg Hunt- for this contest you can hide Easter eggs on your restaurant website each day along with the clues and tips on how to find them. The first player to find and click on each hidden egg can win a dinner package for two.
3. Guessing games- you can play guessing games like "guess how many ingredients are in a certain dish" or Word Jumble of a local landmark.
