“Simply asking for customers to ‘like’ your page is not a terrible idea, but the user is expecting a bit more in return after they commit,” an article at Forbes.com notes. “Facebook users are on the platform to connect with friends and family and often complain, very loudly, that they don’t like to be interrupted by marketing messages.”

The article notes Skittles Facebook presence shows off entertainment and coupons in reaching out to customers.
