A few retailers are testing a brand new Facebook feature allowing them to create offers for their fan base… and beyond.
It seems this new feature is not a new ad unit, per se. It looks more like a new post category, in a similar vein to status, photos, links, videos or questions. But we can’t tell for sure.
Here is the coupons on Macy’s page wall. Except its specific layout, it behaves like any other post. You can like it, comment it or share it.
If you click on “Get offer”, the following notification pops up :
The offer may now appears on your friends’ news feed too.
Thanks to its layout that stands out from other news feed posts, it really gives the brand a true virality and visibility boost. Here’s how it appears :
A few seconds after you’ve clicked on “Get offer”, you’ll get this email, containing the offer :
Facebook has given no details so far on the availability of this feature to all the pages.

Nytt design på Facebook for Pages | Valen-Utvik.no
[...] Facebook introduserte «Offers». Her skal bedriften kunne legge ut tilbud som gjelder kun sine følgere, og som følgeren med enkelhet skal kunne få sendt direkte til sin mobil eller desktop. Høres lovende ut, særlig for mange av våre detaljhandelkunder, ettersom det virker som et godt verktøy for å få følgere i sosiale medier inn i butikk.Så vidt jeg ser, er ikke «Offers» rullet ut helt (eller delvis?) enda, men dere kan lese mer om dette i «Offers» blogginnlegget.
