We spent a lot of effort perfecting the experience for both Fan Page admins and end users, explains Chris Mottau, General Manager, North Social. We built this application from the ground up putting a strong emphasis on a simplified user flow, complete brand customization, and data security.
North Social also has also taken advantage of social sharing, by leveraging the Facebook platform, this application allows each entry to be individually shared and commented on, as well as allowing contest entrants to promote and share their entry for maximum viral impact.
