Mobile Promotions Benefits

• Buzz: sweepstakes create tremendous word of mouth for the brand.

• Increase Your Email and Mobile Database: Mobile sweepstakes take it a step further by gathering the mobile number as well as email, first, last, zip, age, etc…

• High Return on Investment (ROI): mobile sweepstakes cost’s are far lower than the cost involved in traditional “paper entry” sweepstakes. Mobile text-in entry increases the number of participants substantially.

The Main Elements

Goal: The objective of the sweepstakes needs to be clarified and kept top of mind in all activities. Ex., lead generation, branding or market research.

Privacy: A lot of personally identifiable data is collected. Marketers need to have and adhere to a solid privacy policy.

Prize: Bigger isn’t always better. It’s crucial to pick the right prize– a prize that appeals to the target audience.

Legal “Official Rules”: Sweepstakes and contests are heavily regulated. The Sweepstakes Official Rules should be reviewed by an attorney specializing in promotion marketing laws.

The Main Elements

Mobile Partner: Provides the services of executing and running a mobile sweepstakes. Has the capacity to run text-to-win program and create mobile-optimized entry pages to capture participant’s information. A mobile sweepstakes partner should have the technology platform to provide a short code (text KEYS to 65047, for example), gather a database of mobile entries and provide reports as to the status of the program.

Fulfillment: A winner must be picked randomly and the prize awarded within the time limits that were set in the Official Rules. The winner must be contacted and a Declaration of Compliance, Liability and Publicity Release should be received before any prize is delivered.
