When it comes to growing an online business or promoting a newly launched product, there are various ways available through which marketers promote the product and services to reach a wide range of audiences. Organizing a giveaway of your product and services is one of them.

As per a report published by Statista, 75 percent of millennials in the United States of America reported in 2018 that they would make a new purchase with a retailer after their initial purchase if they received a giveaway from the same retailer.

While there are many variables behind making any giveaway successful, we will look into some of the most important factors to consider while organizing an online giveaway.

Choosing The Right Price.

Your giveaway prize should aim to fulfill the needs of your audience while also matching the tenets of your business. You wouldn’t want to attract “freebies collectors” for your giveaway campaign.

The prize of your giveaway should be aimed at helping your audience and building trust with your brand.

Narrowing The Audience.

It is always a risky thing to believe that what you are offering is the best and beneficial for everyone in marketing. Targeting the relevant set of audiences will push your campaign to the top, with a high number of reaches. At the same time, an irrelevant set of audiences will do otherwise; thus, narrow down your audience wisely.

Spell Out Your Objective.

What are the things you hope to accomplish from your giveaway campaign? Is it the number of subscribers on your YouTube channel, or do you want to collect the email listing for future prospects?

In any case, having a goal in mind would aid in creating a campaign that aligns with your end results.

Collaborating With Other Brands.

A business that hasn’t seen many fruitful results in its initial venture may approach other brands to collaborate on a giveaway campaign with them.

As a business collaborating with other businesses, you should approach them with a professional email where the email should outline the objectives of your campaign and what benefits their brand would receive if they choose to collaborate with you.

Will they receive followers, subscribers, or sales? That should be included in your email.

Defining Clear Rules Of Participation.

All the online giveaways follow specific rules, where some are well-defined and some are not.

To ensure the highest number of conversions on your campaign, the rule should be well-defined at the time of participation.

This creates trust in your future prospects and giveaway participants while helping them prepare themselves on what to expect and not.

Conclusion

The first attempt of doing anything which we haven’t done before creates a fear of failure, which absolutely stands to reason, and it applies to all aspects of online marketing. Giveaway campaigns are no exception to it.

We hope the information we’ve mentioned will help you set the wheel in motion, and you will receive grand success in your giveaway campaign.
