Giveaway Ideas

      If you have ever done research on how to gain more followers or customers, you have come across the idea of doing a giveaway. I have seen lots of business doing them lately and they are getting lots of entries and gaining lots of new followers.

      Most businesses that I have seen doing them have been sharing a post on Instagram, giving multiple ways to gain entries, but requiring that you follow the business on Instagram and sharing the post on stories. This is such a good idea because it puts your business out in front of people who might not have ever seen it. The other good thing is that people who do not know your business are now following your page to enter the giveaway and most likely will not unfollow you when the giveaway is over.

      It can be difficult to come up with ideas for a giveaway, so I wanted to share what I think can be beneficial.

• An article of clothing – Whether you own a clothing store or have shirts made for your business, you can give them away.
• A gift card – this helps get people actually looking at what you sell and most people will end up spending more than what the gift card has on it.
• Something you make that is customizable – giveaway something that your clients can choose. If you sell shirts or cups that you can add anything to, allow them to get exactly what they want.
  • i.e. a shirt that says “best mom ever” or a cup that says “mom juice”
• A service – if you sell a service (i.e. landscaping, woodworking, dog grooming, etc.) you can giveaway one of that service. Whether it’s a free lawn mow, a custom built shelf, or free grooming.
