Facebook Fan Counter – Fliike by Smiirl (VIDEO)

Facebook has become ever present. This is why it is no wonder that local businesses have found Facebook an ideal marketing tool. It’s free, your customers are often online and they have an easy way of knowing what is new in your business. With this in mind, Smiirl have designed Fliike whose main purpose is to simply portray the number of likes your business has in real time.

It is fairly simple to use. Just connect it to your Wi-Fi, log in to your Facebook account and that’s it. But the design is not something you would expect from a device whose main focus is on the virtual reality aspect. Smiirl is a company that is focused on connecting the internet with the tangible world, and Fliike is close enough to do just that. There is no digital display, but an old-fashioned mechanical counter making it stand out in any environment.

This device is designed for small businesses and the highest number of likes is thus limited to 99,999, but there is an option of ordering a custom one with more digits.

There is no doubt that different social media managers will love Fliike. Additionally, there is a great chance that the customer will be urged to like your page should he witness the change in number. Still, this interesting marketing tool is not very cheap with the price of $390. watch video below
