‘How to Grow Your Email List by Running a Contest’ – HubSpot
Jessica Webb says, “Marketers often think of running contests for things like branding, customer delight, and fan engagement — but that’s not all they’re good for. Created a certain way, contests can also help you fill your funnel, making your audience and your boss happy at the same time.
We’ve seen this happen first-hand at HubSpot. Last December, my team had the idea to run a contest, but wanted to see if there was a way to tie it more closely to business objectives. Our idea? Run a holiday-themed contest and give away eighteen $100 Visa gift cards, one for each winner and an additional gift card for one of their colleagues.
The aim of the contest was to delight customers, increase engagement, and increase brand awareness … while also generating actual email contacts. Would it work? I’ll spoil the ending for you: It sure did. To help give you ideas if you want to run a similar contest, I’ve broken down the approach below that we took to running the contest”.
