Why Do Shorter Forms Get More Entries in Online Sweepstakes?

Shorter forms reduce friction and increase completion rates. Click to understand why brief forms lead to more sweepstakes entries.

Shorter forms get more entries because they reduce friction and cognitive load. Every additional field increases the chance of user drop-off — especially during time-sensitive promotions like sweepstakes.

When users only need to provide an email or name, they're more likely to complete the process quickly, even on mobile. This fast, low-commitment entry aligns with user expectations for giveaways.

Gleam helps you maximise participation using lightweight entry flows and optional Viral Share Actions to drive referrals without adding form complexity.
