Additionally, if you require a birthdate on the registration page, users under 13 will be unable to enter.

You can customize age requirement settings in the admin tool, and if you need help our support team would be happy to assist you.

Now however our lawyers what the rules link in a more “so clear and conspicuous place.” The template does not allow for that. I thought I saw an email that SSM now offered a Facebook contest app. Or was I mistaken? Thanks.

While Second Street primarily works with media companies on online promotions, you can find a lot of resources for Facebook contesting here on the Promotions Lab. A great place to start would be our Facebook Big Promotions Page:

What kind of contest you should run really depends what your goals for the promotion are. If you are looking to get as many entries as possible to build your email database, a simple enter-to-win sweepstakes would probably be your best bet.

Good luck!
Julie
