Launch an interactive social media contest.
Hit play and the Tool will randomly pick a winner from all users who have messaged the wall.
Winner Preview
- To preview the winner, click ‘Draw a new winner’.
- Click Play to start the contest and launch a virtual countdown on the social wall.
- If the winner selected is inapproprate, click "Draw a new winner" until you find a winner you're happy with.
If you have manually launched the Contest, you must click Stop for your social wall to resume.
Adjust the Contests in the following ways:
Settings
- Email to send contest results - send details of the winner to yourself or social media team for follow up.
- Contest Display - Choose between the Wheel that spins usernames, or the Mosaic which shuffles profile pics.
- Block Previous Winners - so they can't win more than once
- Countdown - Adjust the countdown timer - between 5 and 60 seconds.
- Winner Message - Change the wording on the announcement.
Be sure to Apply anytime you make adjustments.
Scheduling
- Set the Contest to launch itself at specific times and/or intervals.
Enter a start time, duration and frequency then Apply.
Filtering
- Users to exclude - Add specific usernames, separated with a space, to exclude them from the contest. Note: previous winners will automatically be added to this list if already set under Settings.
- Sources to Use - Restrict winners to those who've used a specific social network.
- Tags to use - If you have Tagged messages in Moderation or Message Review you can select for a winner to be chosen from all users with that Tag(s). Try it for things like selfie competitions (so only users who've shared "selfies" are entered), or to manually select a winner.
Be sure to Apply anytime you are making adjustments.
