Can I Use Giveaways to Collect User-Generated Content for App Marketing?
Yes. A giveaway is a good way to get real customers showing your app in use, and you can reuse what they send on your site, in ads or in store screenshots.
- Add a Submit Media Action and ask for something specific, like a screenshot of their favourite feature or a short clip of them using the app. Submit Media is on the Pro Plan and above. Letting people upload files straight from their device needs the Business Plan.
- Add a Question Action if you want a written recommendation too.
- Say in your Terms & Conditions that you may reuse entries in your marketing. Custom terms need the Hobby Plan or above. A separate consent checkbox is a custom field, which is on the Business Plan and above.
- Review submissions before you use any of them, and credit people where you can.
The App Recommendation Giveaway template asks entrants to recommend your app, post on X and refer friends, which suits a launch. Keep it to content people send you, and don't reward app store ratings or reviews.
