Using Purplepass' Guest List for Ticket Giveaways
If you are thinking of running a giveaway, that means you need to see a boost in ticket sales. Am I right? Participating in giveaways is a unique, but effective way to attract new customers and increase your overall brand awareness.
Why host a giveaway?
To start you need to understand what a giveaway is and how it works. A giveaway is exactly how it sounds; you are giving away something, but you are also receiving something in return.
Giveaways come with a variety of benefits:
1. Expands your reach
You can reach a new audience by hosting these contests on social media. For example, lets say you are giving away two tickets, all they have to do is like your page, follow your account and share your post for a chance to be selected. Minimum, you have 100 followers do this, that means at least 100 other people you couldn't reach before are seeing your post and your event tickets.
2. Winners bring friends
Remember, if your giveaway consists of tickets, most of the time it is only a small amount, like 1 or 2 tickets. Most of the time, the winners invite more people to go with them. This spreads awareness about your event through word-of-mouth and increases your guest count.
3. Cheap exposure
These contests don't have to be pricey, in fact they can be extremely inexpensive. If it's not event tickets, it can be merchandise or other prizes. Budget for your prizes, plan how you will market the giveaway, and watch the magic happen!
4. A way to engage with your audience
Giveaways allow you to get personal and create a customized experience for your loyal fans; something they deserve. Get your fans excited, sharing and chatting about your contest!
