In one of our last posts we gave you tips on how to create engaging, viral campaigns. But creating an engaging campaign is just one piece of the puzzle; equally important is coming up with campaigns that meet your business goals. There are many easy ways you can do this - if your goal is to drive sales, consider combining a coupon with your campaign (e.g. after entrants have entered your sweepstakes, quiz or contest use our coupon solution to provide them with a discount voucher). If your goal is to educate consumers about your products, weave this into your sweepstakes entry process (e.g. Zappos ran a shopping spree sweepstakes with us which required entrants to choose the clothing items they'd want to win from zappos.com and then input the clothing SKU numbers into the sweepstakes entry form). User generated contests are also powerful ways to educate consumers about your brand (e.g. Facebook ran a contest with us that required entrants to submit stories about how Facebook is doing good in their community) and so too are quizzes (e.g. check out the quiz currently being run by Snapple that helps entrants decide which of the Snapple flavors would be best for them). If your goal is to build your newsletter mailing list, Facebook fans or Twitter followers, sweepstakes and contests provide a powerful way to do this, but make sure that your promotion is tailored to attract those consumers who are most likely to consume your company's products. For example, if you're running a sweepstakes be sure to choose a prize that you think is especially appealing to your specific target demographic (i.e. don't offer the chance to win a MacBook Pro if you're trying to promote luxury travel to an audience of retirees!)
The Selena Gomez campaign currently running via our platform is a great example of how to tie in the power of social media with specific business goals. Selena Gomez, a star on the Disney channel, is in the process of launching her music career. She decided to run a user-generated contest via Wildfire that asks entrants to submit a photo demonstrating what they are doing to promote Selena's new album. Many thousands of entries have been submitted and these include user-generated videos, posters, side-walk chalkings, billboards, tshirts, events, websites and more promoting Selena's album. What's great about this contest is that it not only has powerful reach within the social networks (thanks to the newsfeeds and friend invites sent by entrants and voters, hundreds of thousands of people have been exposed to the contest) but also in the 'real' world (Selena's album is being promoted via posters, events, chalkings and more).
