You’re right; the incentive IS aligned with the same demographic so it’s a nice fit.

Incidentally, even if they don’t stay as fans, name recognition can go a long way. I did a google search last night and LostInTechnology was one of the results, and because of this post I clicked on it!

I have kept the fans, but engagement is definitely an issue. Even before I added the new fans, most fans don’t make very many comments, so it can be very hard to gauge exactly how many are really paying attention.

I completely agree that you get a mixed bag of fans of Google Wave or fans of LostInTechnology. However, getting any fans to come to my blog and fan page is worth the little effort I put into that promotion. Also, I was able to interact with several of the people that requested invites on the fan page and in Google Wave. I’m sure I didn’t convert all of them, but I’m sure that I gained a few new fans from the promotion. I think one of the keys is to make sure your giveaway is appealing to the types of people that frequent your blog. Fans of Google Wave are probably technology enthusiats, so the content on LostInTechnology would also be appealing to them. This way my conversion rate should go up some.

Thanks for your recommendation. I’m going on vacation soon, so I’ll make sure to get through Groundswell while sitting on the beach.

Interesting short term strategy: but did you keep those fans? Are they really engaged?

There may be some merits to reaching a critical mass: no one wants to go to the deserted bar. But having people fan your page and then hide it or ignore it really doesn’t realize your actual objective, does it? (which is likely to inform or educate?)

Now: if this was just a way to get people to take that initial step to fan your page and now you’re able to really get them to become passionate brand advocates, that would be fantastic. I’d just be concerned that these are google wave fans, not LostinTechnology fans…
