Instead of forcing your subscribers to wait weeks to find out if they&#8217;ve won, an instant win text sweepstakes delivers the immediate gratification that your subscribers will love. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how do you get an instant win text sweeps going for your business? Here are the steps to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Set Up Your Campaign<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting up an instant win text sweepstakes can be done quickly with Sweeppea. Just follow these simple steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get your own branded Sweepskey<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set up your entry form using the Online Entry Form Wizard<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create your official rules by uploading your own or using our Official Rules Wizard<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then you&#8217;re ready to go with our platform. After your campaign is in progress, you can use our campaign data reports to track the success of your sweep. With text marketing compliance and tight security baked in, our instant win text sweeps platform is the most powerful way to launch your campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Selecting the Winner(s)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next it\u2019s time to choose the winners. With our platform, you can auto-pick instant winners based on number of entries (every 100 entries) or schedule a date and time to randomly draw one instant winner. The auto-pick solution will save you time if you have to pick multiple winners for different prizes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re offering one big grand prize, scheduling a date to choose an instant winner makes for a hands-off solution so that you don\u2019t have to manually select a winner on your own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, you can also use a combination of both methods for selecting winners if you&#8217;re offering both smaller prizes and a grand prize for your instant-win sweep. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/web.sweeppea.com\/blog\/restaurant-drives-foot-traffic-with-instant-win-text-sweepstakes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bd&#8217;s Mongolian Grill<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> used this strategy when they ran an instant win text sweep through Sweeppea to mark their 25th anniversary. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company offered a grand prize trip to the Caribbean for a single instant winner while offering 2nd through 5th place prizes, as well as, daily instant-win prizes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a bonus hint for setting up a successful instant win text sweepstakes, make sure that you have plenty of prizes available. When your subscribers believe that they have a fair chance of winning because there are many prizes available, they&#8217;ll be more likely to sign up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Ready to attract new loyal fans to your brand?<\/strong> To get started now, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/web.sweeppea.com\/sweepstakes-service-platform\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">see features<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/web.sweeppea.com\/pricing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pricing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to give away awesome prizes to your customers right now?
