How Does Gleam Select Campaigns for the Giveaways Page?
Our team picks every campaign on the Giveaways page by hand, alongside the giveaways Gleam runs. You can't apply or pay for a spot, and we can't reply to individual requests to be featured.
Each day we review a shortlist of running Competitions and accept or reject each one. Featured giveaways need to meet a quality bar, and you need to have announced winners on your previous giveaways to be eligible. These things make a campaign more likely to get through:
- You draw your winners. Sites with finished campaigns and no winners drawn are filtered out, so draw winners on time.
- It's open to most people. Worldwide campaigns, or ones open in large markets like the US, UK, Canada and Australia, fit the page best.
- It has time left. Campaigns ending within a week, and ones set to run for a year or more, are skipped.
- The prize is believable. We hold back campaigns that claim an unrealistic prize value.
- The widget can be embedded, because the page shows your widget.
We don't feature test campaigns, and some prize types aren't eligible. Sites with campaigns we've featured before get looked at first, so running good giveaways consistently is the best thing you can do.
