The holiday season is around the corner!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Which means it’s\u00a0time for you to start working on\u00a0your company’s holiday text-to-win sweepstakes. \u00a0I<\/span>f you \u00a0aren’t sure what type of sweepstakes to run,\u00a0don’t worry. We’ve got you covered.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are 5 holiday sweepstakes ideas you can launch now for your text-to-win:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Text-to-Win for Members or Customers Only<\/h3>\n

If you have customers and followers that interact with your brand via a specific marketing channel, you can create a mobile sweepstakes just for them.\u00a0It can be\u00a0an extra bonus\u00a0for joining your list, group or club or can be an incentive for\u00a0your membership drive or campaign. Another option is to give customers a chance to win as a \u201cthank you\u201d for their business. Make sure they know it\u2019s an exclusive opportunity and let new visitors know there\u2019s an extra perk to being a loyal customer.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a great way to build a mobile holiday sweepstakes quickly, especially since you already have an audience that likely wants to participate.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Holiday Countdown Sweepstakes<\/h3>\n

Host a holiday countdown sweepstakes in the final days leading up to the holidays this year. In this format, you can\u00a0give away multiple prizes to lucky winners. These kinds of m<\/span>ulti-day sweeps with a new winner each day can\u00a0build more excitement and attract more\u00a0fans to your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Instant Win\u00a0Sweepstakes<\/h3>\n

Everyone loves winning right away and you can capitalize on that excitement with an instant win sweepstakes. Believe it or not, this can be run by text. Just set when the winner will be chosen in advance and it will happen automatically. For example, award instant winners every 50 entries or award one winner at entry number 250.<\/p>\n

4. Procrastinator\u2019s Christmas\u00a0or\u00a0New Year’s Eve<\/h3>\n

With a little humor, you can set yourself apart with a sweep right after the holiday. A local group used to have a Procrastinator\u2019s New Year\u2019s Eve party every year. It was a great success because it didn\u2019t compete with other events on the actual holiday. Try a similar technique and have a little fun with it.<\/p>\n

5. Sign Up and Win Sweepstakes<\/h3>\n

The holiday season is a great\u00a0time to attract new customers. \u00a0Even a\u00a0simple sign up and win sweepstakes will grow your subscriber list and make your offer available to a new audience. <\/span><\/p>\n
