Social media use is now more influential than ever, with over 72% of all internet users being active on 2 or more networks. This makes social media integration crucial for the success of your promotion. A social component helps get the word out about your sweepstakes or contest while making it easy for others to generate awareness for you.
A social media sweepstakes program integrates with social media platforms to provide your participants flexibility in accessing and interacting with your promotion. By providing various options for entry, you appeal to users more positively, which helps to increase your entry rate. Instead of only reaching out via mail or email, you’re able to create a promotion that moves fluidly across social channels while reaching wider audiences.
American Sweepstakes offers applications that enable you to get a promotion up and running on a variety of social platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. When your participants can easily share your promotion with their friends, the word spreads faster and farther.

This is an effective way to gain followers, which in turn can lead to opportunities for great user-generated content. By asking followers to interact with your brand by using a specific hashtag or posting photos or videos for a chance to win, you’ll progressively build more followers and create a strong social presence.
