Are you trying to promote your business online, without spending a huge amount of fortune? Then, one of the simplest and easiest ways to promote your business is to organize social media contest. These contests help you promote your business and you even get to know about your prospects. Online contests are very smart and innovative way to accelerate word of mouth online. The concept about online contests is very simple ‘people love to win things’ and by just clicking a share button if, they are getting an opportunity to win a dinner with President or a chance to win a luxurious car is just tempting. And who won’t like to win such attractive prizes. More sharing, means more traffic and more traffic means more buyers.
But the main question here is how to run a contest ? There are few very important things that you have to keep in mind, in order to run a successful online contest.
- What’s in it for the customers: Peoplewho join your contest are in it for one simple thing i.e. self-interest. They are ready to share your website, but what are you offering them in exchange. Give them something that they can’t say no to.
- How long does it run: This is one of the most important things to consider, when you are trying to find out how to run an online contest. You have to decide the duration of the contest. Some run it for weeks, while some for months. The disadvantage of running it for longer duration is simple that people will loose interest in it, and your contest will be forgotten, which obviously you don’t want.
- Come up with a striking idea: what exactly you want from your customers something really simple like click on a button that says share this page and win exciting prizes, or something complicated that says, complete this slogan to win prizes.
Obviously, you will go for the first option click on a button, that will hardly take a millisecond but what you are offering your customer’s in exchange is tempting. So, whenever you want to organize a social media contest keep it simple and achieve your goals.
