We have the metrics to track ROII here at LPG and they are available for your use as well, you have the availability to turn your property fan page into a clearing house for offers from your clients to your Facebook fans but you have to let your fans know that your fan page is the place to get all the special offers from your clients all the time.  If we turn around and manage the Facebook marketing for our clients (logical if we already know their specials) then we can post for them and take away the information management nightmare, doing creative, keeping content fresh, and engaging the audience because we can constantly promote the fan page.
