    Bridgetown, Barbados (PRWEB) July 20, 2011

    AXSES, a Caribbean travel marketing company, has announced its First Facebook Sweepstake, offering a free Caribbean vacation to Barbados. Travelers that take advantage of the program have the opportunity to win a Barbados vacation for five nights and six days.

    As the lucky winner of the Caribbean Sweepstakes, the winner and a guest will have the chance of staying at the Yellow Bird Hotel with numerous luxury amenities. The first sweepstake contest ended on June 30th of 2011; the winner was Julia Baird of the United Kingdom.

    New sweepstakes will follow soon. This is just one of the many offers that AXSES uses to invite its travel companies to try the many Facebook Travel marketing and Social Media management services provided by AXSES.

    The First Facebook sweepstake is now closed but you can become a fan of Barbados.org to be sure that you don’t miss the next one – Click http://barbados.org/win to become a fan and subscribe to the Sweepstake page.

    According to Kathy-Lynn Ward, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of AXSES, “We are running several Facebook ads targeted to different groups. We have learned a lot about advertising on Facebook with this and other initiatives, which translates into a real advantage for our hotel and tourism suppliers and their travel guests".

    With Facebook analytics AXSES also collects information on the demographics and interests of their audience. This allows AXSES to tailor vacation packages and future Travel Sweepstake to Fans in the Facebook community.

    Kathy-Lynn Ward hopes that more promotions such as the Barbados Vacation will encourage more people to become Fans of Barbados.org, the main AXSES marketing and bookings website for Barbados. More Fans, makes it easier to market to travellers that are sincerely interested in the products that the company is promoting.
