Pollen Party Policy

Here at Little Bee Buzz we try to look out not only for ourselves but for all of our pages so we wanted you all to know the in's and out's to our Pollen Party's typically held on Thirsty Thursdays.
Page Admin Policies
(We wanted you to know what to look out for on other pages to help protect yourself from the spam bots!)

  • Admin will try to space out the time between postings of pages to be pollinated to about 3-5 minutes if not longer to allow our bees time to deeply pollinate the page.
  • Admin will try to limit pages to be pollinated to less then 30. If the admin can not resist spreading more pollen/you are already a like on the page do not feel obligated to post on the page to fend off those pesky spam bots! Taking a few longer breaks along the pollen trail will also help keep our bee's wings from exhaustion.
  • Even though Little Bee Buzz enjoys seeing an @tag from you on every page we buzz over to pollinate this can attract the spam bots, we would prefer business pages promote the Pollen Party when we send the invite out. (This will also add you into the selections of being a featured buzzness!)

The Bee's that Partake in the Party

  • Please follow all facebook rules, this includes only selling products from a business page and not your personal page(facebook will shut you down for this!)if we find out you are selling from a personal page you will not be promoted in our Pollen Parties.
  • Please follow Little Bee Buzz's rules and if we do not pollinate your page there is always next time. We try our best to promote the most that we can but we do not want to alarm the spam bots.
  • Be kind to those pages we do pollinate. If you leave more original comments you can bypass the spam bots. Instead of saying "sharing the pollen please stop by @enteryourbusinesshere" on every page change it up a bit. You have time to look at the photos in the header, the picture in the side bar, and even the pages tabs. Use these cues to write a better comment, which will lead to a conversation, which will give you a fan rather then just another like. Facebook does not only measure your likes but also your comments and views. If you are holding a contest/auction and need help from business this would be a great time to ask them a direct invite from you to them to help both your businesses to grow.

The Pages that are Pollinated
  • Make sure to return all likes this includes the ones that are "Hidden Posts"make sure to keep the conversation going to pollinate a real relationship not just another like. 
  • Make sure to like from you business page too Facebook measures this in your insights as "total lifetime likes"! If you are having a hard time returning the likes all you have to do is hover over the @tag, a window will appear which you can like from; just make sure you respond to their comment to keep the relationship growing!
I know I have seen those not so friendly reminders from the spam bots of facebook reminding me that I have posted to much and they are taking away my right to post on others walls; make no mistake they will delete your page and no one wants that!

Fly safe to pollinate another day!

Is this all a bit to much for you? Try a little sample of the honey by joining us on Sunday for our Social Pollen Party! Here is how it works, we will post a comment on the wall inviting you to leave a comment with a link to your business, then go back about your work and come back to visit all the other businesses that left a link. This set up allows you to have all the time you need to enjoy the other pages and start a relationship with the new businesses.

Sometimes it is just best to jump in and join us! We all had our first time and will understand if you mess up.
