How Do I Generate More Engagement in an Oktoberfest Giveaway?

Give entrants something to do that feels like the festival, not just a form to fill in.

  1. Add a Submit Media Action (Pro Plan and above) asking for an Oktoberfest photo, like their best stein, a plate of pretzels or a homebrew.
  2. Add a Question Action with some beer or Bavarian trivia ("What year was the first Oktoberfest?"). Turn on answer validation (Business Plan and above) if only correct answers should count.
  3. Add Viral Share so entrants earn bonus entries for every friend who enters through their link.
  4. Share the best photos on your socials while it runs, so people who haven't entered see others joining in. Say in your terms that you may reuse them.
  5. Run it for two to three weeks, ending before the festival does, and post a reminder at the halfway mark.

If your prize is alcohol, check who's allowed to enter in each country you're open to, and set an age limit in your terms.
