Facebook Forms for E-News & Competitons
April 29, 2011
If you have a Facebook business page, you can add a MailChimp signup form so people can signup to your email newsletter directly from Facebook. This also gives you the option to link your email campaigns so they are automatically posted to your Facebook business page (not your personal profile!) everytime you publish an email newsletter. This combination of social media is a fantastic and professional way to run a special Facebook competition or promotion with customised signup form, autoresponders and more.
You can see my signup form by going to the Creative Web Ideas Facebook page and clicking on the email newsletter tab (you’ll see the MailChimp monkey too) on the left.
Keep reading to find out how to: add the MailChimp app to your business page, link your signup form to your newsletter list, customise your signup form and link your campaigns for auto posting on Facebook. It’s a bit of a long process but if you follow these instructions, you’ll have it all setup in no time.

- So people could see the page without logging into Facebook first and so that I could link directly to that page from my website
- So that people could become fans without needing me to approve them first
- So that there would be no restriction on the number of fans I could have in the future (once word spreads and my Page becomes hugely popular!!)
You can create a page through your personal Facebook account but I decided to set mine up as a separate entity in case we sell our business at some stage in the future. I want my marketing to be easily transferable to new owners. After trial and error I realised that the account should have a different name from my business to avoid confusing the Facebook Search engine (and to avoid confusing myself in regards to whether I am looking at the account or page when making updates).
