Contests can be a great way to grab more leads or prospects, get feedback or testimonials from existing customers, encourage participation or attendance on webinars, and more. And, itâs not like you have to give away a car or something crazy expensive. In fact, often times cheaper giveaways will help increase your conversions even more (perhaps because they think theyâll have a better chance of winning?).
For instance, you can run an ad where youâre advertising a contest for a free drone that youâre selling. Anyone who enters you know is probably a potential prospect, as theyâre interested in the drone that you sell. When you do that, you can immediately advertise a special deal you have on them in case they donât win (and offer to refund if they do) and want to get it right away. The benefit here is that you can get dirt cheap clicks and leads when advertising this way (on places like Facebook), all while building up a very targeted list (weâve built up some big mailing lists and businesses this way at a fraction of the cost of what our competitors pay for ads).
You can also use contests as a way to build up your testimonials. Offer to enter customers into a contest when they submit any testimonials or feedback about your product. People love contests, which is why it can be a great way to get them to take action.
So consider using contests to get lots of cheap traffic and leads to check out your offers. Or, alternatively, use contests to encourage testimonials or feedback on your products.
