What Are Some Good Sales Contest Ideas?
Four that work well for a store, and how to build each in Gleam:
- Order for a chance to win. Load your order numbers into a Secret Code action with Multiple Codes, so each order number works once. Your plan caps how many codes you can load.
- Refer a friend. Viral Share gives entrants bonus entries when a friend enters through the link they shared (Pro Plan and above).
- Customer photo contest. Submit Media collects photos of your product in use, which you can later feature with permission (Pro Plan and above).
- VIP early access. Use Subscribe to a Newsletter as the entry, then email entrants the sale a day before everyone else.
Most stores mix two of these, like an order entry plus referrals for extra chances.
Caution
If entering needs a purchase, many places (including the US) treat a prize draw as a lottery unless there's a free way to enter with equal odds. Add one and say so in your Terms & Conditions. This isn't legal advice, so check the rules where you run it.
