Tiny Prints Not So Tiny Facebook Page


When I joined Facebook in 2009, it was a social media site for young adults with little business interaction. I never filled out my "likes” section or was friends with a company, until very recently. It seemed that many companies were beginning to use incentives to draw people to like their companies. Tiny Prints was one of the first (and my most liked) companies I liked because of this. While on a blog I regularly read, the author mentioned a free customized valentine’s card if you liked this site called Tiny Prints.

Hey, free anything sounds good; so I liked the page, acquired my code, and went over to Tiny Prints. After going through the process to create a card, I was very satisfied. I really liked the site and the final product. If was not for the Facebook like and subsequent coupon, I would never have trafficked the Tiny Prints site in the first place. Now, I use Tiny Prints for almost even occasion.

I have liked about ten businesses on Facebook but regularly ignore the status updates I get from them sine they mostly read like an advertisement and not an update. Tiny Print is quite different, I am intrigued. For example, on March 30th, Tiny Prints posted this great status update:



It is a fun status that lets me connect with the company, without being bombarded with advertisement emails. It keeps Tiny Prints in my mind and me to their blog which is part of their home site, where I can look at new products. Because of this, I am more likely to think of Tiny Prints when I need a card or photo book. Great "advertisements" Tiny Prints!
