Did you ever notice how Oprah\u2019s giveaways always seemed to excite her audiences with sheer joy? <\/span><\/p>\n

You may have assumed that this was simply because the audience was being prompted to cheer. However, you’ve probably also overheard people who never went to a taping of her show gush about how awesome and exciting her giveaways were on \u201cOprah\u2019s Favorite Things.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, there is now a way for you to create the same effect for your business. The answer is text-to-win. If you want to create an instant giveaway that makes the crowd jump for joy at your company’s next event, then hosting a text-to-win during the event is the way to go. In fact, this is how Blue Martini uses text-to-win.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is how\u00a0text-to-win turns any event into an \u201cOprah Moment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Everybody Wins<\/h3>\n

No one likes to be a loser! With text-to-win, everybody wins. Offering prizes to multiple\u00a0winners will make your audience feel the excitement while\u00a0attending your event. Even those who didn’t win big prizes can get texts with smaller prizes. Best of all, you can present the prizes live at the event. If you want to skyrocket the number of selfies taken at your event, this is how you do it!<\/p>\n

Look What I Won!<\/h3>\n

Although “Oprah’s Favorite Things” could be considered product placement, these segments were exponentially more effective in getting her more attention. This is because the segments appealed to the everyone’s inner voice, telling them: Treat yourself! You deserve it!<\/p>\n

Since your audience will have nothing to lose by entering your text-to-win instant giveaway, you’ll appeal to their inner selves\u00a0and they’ll be happy to brag to others about what they won while promoting your company in the process.<\/p>\n
