How to Host a Giveaway
To host a giveaway, define your goal, pick a prize, choose entry methods, and use a tool like Gleam to manage submissions, entries, and winner selection.
Hosting a giveaway starts with a clear goal — do you want more subscribers, sales, followers, or engagement? Once defined, pick a prize your audience will value and determine how users will enter. Keep it simple: ask for an email signup, a social share, or a product referral.
Next, choose a platform to host your giveaway. Gleam lets you embed giveaways on your site or run them as a standalone page. It handles all the logistics — from entry validation and action tracking to fraud filtering and winner selection.
Use Gleam’s Competition App to set everything up without code. Add bonus entry methods, time your launch strategically, and promote the campaign through your main channels to drive qualified traffic.
