06 Nov 08 Facebook app launched

Hi-ho ladies and gents

After some thorough testing, the facebook app is live and ready for use. Let’s go for a little rundown tour on how it works shall we?

Step 1

Go to http://apps.facebook.com/[venue_name]

And for all of you playing at home, [venue_name] is where you type in the name of your venue/club/bar/promotions name.

Step 2

You should see the following screen pop up. Click allow, to install the app on your profile.

Step 3

Visit your profile and click on the + sign in your tabs

Step 4

Type “guestlist” in the text field and select our application. In this case, it is called Demo Guestlists for testing purposes.

That’s it!

Your profile will now have a guestlist tab which looks like this

Your patrons can now click on that link and put in their guestlists/VIP bookings or whatever it may be. Remember, that  “Platnium Club” is just a demo, fictional venue and the form below is completely customisable to your liking.

The beauty and benefit of this whole process comes down to two main points:

• Every patron that creates a guestlist, will now have it displayed in their news/mini feed so that all their friends can see it. (See below)

• If you are a venue, all your promoters can put the app on their profiles, have guestlists being created right from a promoter’s profile and have this displayed on all their friend’s news feeds. Think of it as electronic word of mouth marketing for your venue.

Question: That’s all well and good, but I don’t have a profile for my venue, I have a page.
Answer: Not to worry. Here is how you can add the app for your pages.

To start, follow Steps 1 & 2 from above.

Then navigate to the bottom of the page and click on “Page build by [venue_name] guestlists”

You can now add the application to your page by clicking on the Add Page button

Now all you need to do is just choose which page you want to the application to live on and follow the prompts.  I quickly whipped up a demo page just to show you what it would look like when it is all done

Here I have added two guestlist applications. This can be useful for venues or promoters which run multiple nights or events and want to filter their crowd accordingly.

There is a lot more planned with the next version of the app but in the meantime, we would love to hear feedback from all you guys about whats good and bad about it, and what you would like to see. Write us a few lines at feedback[at]myguestlist[dot]com[dot]au

And that’s the way it is, this Thursday 6th November.  Untill next time,  party hard but stay fresh.
