Using Gleam for the giveaways on the website has been a fantastic way to not only build up the social media followers base but has also given me the opportunity to easily create an easy way to run giveaways that are simple for people to enter and to spread the word of the prizes and of the website.

Out of all the giveaway/contest tools I have researched Gleam had everything I was looking for. We have used the Gleam contest widget over the past 1.5 years with great success. Having the ability to pick and choose different entry methods for our customers is a great tool to mix up our monthly giveaway.
