What Should I Include in the Post-Entry Experience?
Always include a thank-you message and a clear follow-up step. Click to see how to turn contest entries into ongoing engagement.
Your post-entry experience can make or break the connection with participants. After someone enters, show a confirmation or thank-you message that makes them feel acknowledged. You can also redirect them to a store, newsletter, or referral prompt.
This is the perfect time to ask for bonus actions — such as sharing the giveaway, visiting a page, or joining your list — since users are most engaged immediately after entering.
You can also use Gleam’s post-entry redirect and reward features to provide bonus offers, explain when winners will be announced, or give away discount codes as a thank-you gesture.
