Our Mission
Connecting our customers with their ideal customers

Go beyond the BUZZ!
Why limit yourself to just building BUZZ? -
Nothing up our sleeves
We let you know exactly where the leads are coming. -

Most Social Contests focus only on building BUZZ and getting stuff like likes and comments. We think that kind of stuff is great, but why stop there? FanGrower is doing something completely new: We're building a Contest Creation Interface that just about anyone can use to create exciting, effective contests to get the likes and Fans, but we don’t stop there. We help you gather data on your best influencers so you can find more like them to help you generate leads and ultimately drive sales.

We know you hear a lot of hype about the power of Social Media, especially Facebook and what it can do to help grow your business, but when push comes to shove, there’s a kind of mysterious fog that settles over the conversation as most Social Media “Marketing” Companies explain how, exactly, your going to see a return on your investment in working with them. With ContestSimple, we not only tell you we’re going to convert your Likes and Comments into leads, we show you exactly how we do it.

Exactly What’s Going On

Rule #1 in successful marketing is, “Market to people based on who they are, not what they think they want.” We believe in helping you figure out how you should be speaking to your customers before they even know they want what you have. If information is power… and it is… welcome to the MOST POWERFUL way to see exactly WHO you should be marketing to, and how you should be marketing to them.

Data on Your Best Customers

All the Internet Marketing Gurus say it… “There’s no money in Social Media”, but our experience is telling us that the opposite is true. Growing your Fan Base with ContestSimple and then engaging them and their friends with subsequent contests including prizes that are directly related to your products, is one of the simplest, most enjoyable ways to convert Fans into paying customers. We’ve noticed consistent conversions around the 20% mark. If growing your business by up to 20% doesn’t interest you… Wait, of course it does!

When you use ContestSimple to build a custom lead growth contest, it’s a set-it-and-forget-it event. All you need to do is kick back and watch your Fan Base grow, and turn into customers.
We built contest simplistically for ourselves, a bunch of people who just wanted to have a good time growing the number of FB Fans we have so we could grow our business. It worked so well, we decided to turn it into a system that anyone could use.

ContestSimple sets itself apart from other contest and lead gen systems in two ways: First, we don’t just help you put together a contest to build some buzz, then leave you drifting out there with Buzz alone. With our integrated Affiliate Tracking System, we can tell you exactly who your best influencers are and how they are generating all of the Fans and leads that a Facebook contest will bring in. Next, as the contest moves along, ContestSimple helps you understand the commonalities between all of the contestants, especially your top influencers. Tracking exactly who your REAL influencers are against how many leads they’re generating, and laying out what the commonalities between them are so you can go find more like them, is the most powerful way to leverage contests against your list.

We’re not content with just reinventing Facebook Contests. We’re deeply exploring algorithms that can AUTOMATICALLY build you a clear picture of exactly what Persona Types you should be going after. Along with that we are all about creating the MOST informative reporting, and much more.
The way the world does business is changing rapidly. Shouldn’t the systems we use evolve as well? Let us help you grow your Fans and increase the number of leads for your business.

Todd Davis
Hello, My name is Todd W. Davis, and I program computer applications by trade. I did not start my career as an application developer. At the age of fourteen I took my first flight lesson, and I've been flying ever since. Flying as a career has been up and down, pun intended. The aviation industry fluctuates like every market. Instead of letting this frustrate me, I decided to pursue a second trade. While attending college at SUNY college in New York State, I studied business and technology. Technology has always come easy to me, and open source technologies have given me the ability to develop leading edge web based software applications. Thank you, Todd W. Davis
