Instagram sweepstakes are a great way to get followers for your account and can even be a way to get a database for your email marketing, here's how to create one.
To create a sweepstakes on Instagram, follow these steps:
First of all, make sure you have a business account on Instagram. You will need it to access Instagram's promotional tools.
Next, decide on the prize(s) you will offer in your sweepstakes. It can be a product or service you offer, or anything else that is relevant to your business or brand.
Set out the rules of the prize draw. These should explain how the sweepstakes will work, how the winners will be chosen and the entry requirements. Make sure to include all relevant details, such as the start and end dates of the sweepstakes and how the winners will be notified.
Publish a post on Instagram announcing the giveaway and explaining the prize and rules. Make sure you use relevant hashtags and tag relevant accounts, as this will help more people discover your giveaway.
Use Instagram's promotion tools to create a 'terms and conditions' page for your giveaway. This will allow you to collect entries and gather the necessary information from participants, such as their name and email address.
Promote your giveaway through other channels, such as your email list or other social media platforms. This will help to raise awareness and get more people to participate.
Choose a winner at the end of the prize draw period and announce the winner on Instagram. Make sure you contact the winner to claim their prize and meet any other requirements set out in the prize draw rules.
Remember to always comply with all relevant laws and guidelines when organising a sweepstakes, and make sure to inform that the sweepstakes is sponsored by your company.
