How Can I Use Contests to Build My Email List?

Published on June 5, 2025; Updated on August 19, 2025

Contests work because they offer value upfront. You can require email entry to win a product, bundle, or gift card. This not only grows your list but also aligns your campaign with interested leads.

Once the giveaway ends, send a consolation offer to everyone who did not win. This could be a discount, VIP access, or bundle upsell—helping convert subscribers into buyers.

Use Gleam Competitions to create prize-based email lead campaigns.
